Summer Waves from the Harbor, Washing into Beijing

Stunning, dazzling heiress × gentle, devoted gentleman｜Marriage first, love later｜Age gap The day her boyfriend betrayed her in public, Shi Yang felt nothing but bored. To appease her grandmother, she stopped Xia Chongyu, the most powerful man in Hong Kong, and casually suggested that he be her temporary boyfriend. To her utter surprise, this aloof, distinguished man took the initiative and proposed that they get married at once. Shi Yang thought it over briefly and agreed. It was only a marriage of convenience, after all. They would each get what they wanted and stay out of each other’s way. It would silence the gossip and let her put all those awful people and problems behind her. After the wedding, she behaved herself and respected their boundaries, wanting only to be a proper Mrs. Xia in name. She had no idea that from the moment Xia Chongyu proposed, their relationship had already gone off script. Everyone in Beijing and Hong Kong knew that the Shi family’s beautiful, dazzling heiress was the most radiant highborn beauty in society. Xia Chongyu had hit the jackpot by marrying her. But Shi Yang gradually realized that maybe she was the one who had hit the jackpot In public, he was a ruthless business tycoon; In private, he was a gentle, refined older lover who led her one step at a time. When someone picked on her, he took good care of her; When someone bothered her, he calmly stepped in. Only then did Shi Yang realize: weren’t they supposed to be married just for show? How had President Xia gotten so carried away that he’d turned their marriage contract into a tender everyday life devoted to her alone?
