[Marriage first, love later + one-on-one romance + devoted couple + slow and steady]
Shang Sui is known in their circle for being old-fashioned and cold, quiet and restrained. So after he and Wen Zhishui register their marriage in a whirlwind, many people assume it won’t last.
Outsiders wait to laugh at Wen Zhishui as a discarded rich man’s wife, but she thinks the marriage is going well and resolves to build a good life with Shang Sui.
In their first winter as a married couple, Wen Zhishui suggests sleeping in separate rooms because her period cramps are acting up again.
Shang Sui furrows his brow and silently goes to the spare bedroom.
She drifts off to sleep, but in the middle of the night, the warmth of a man beside her wakes her. As someone rubs her stomach, he pleads softly, “Don’t send me away. I can’t sleep alone.”
Later, when Wen Zhishui is thrown out by her adoptive parents, Shang Sui drives around looking for her all night. As he carries her away from the Wen family home, he also hands them a letter of intent to acquire their company.
People in their circle are astonished. Who would have thought even an iceberg like Shang Sui could understand love?
That is, until someone digs up his old Weibo account. It has only two posts: one from when they met, and one from when they got married in a whirlwind.
She’s so cute.
That cute girl became Mrs. Shang.
