[Marriage Before Love + Contract Marriage + Wealthy CEO + Love Grows Over Time]
Sensitive and suspicious × Abstinent and restrained
At twenty-five, Ning Shi made a deal with her marriage.
She married a stranger.
For the three years after their wedding, she enjoyed living on her own.
Don't ask, don't know, don't care.
That was what they'd agreed on before getting married.
She thought that after three years, they would be living separate lives without interfering with each other.
She never expected her husband to be the first to break their vow of abstinence.
To outsiders, he is the eldest son abandoned by the Ji family and raised by his grandfather.
He is aloof, with a bold, ruthless streak.
But only those close to him know the truth.
Ji Xiuye is filial, sensible, persistent, and resilient.
He should have inherited the Ji family's boundless wealth and splendor.
Instead, he lost it all because of an almost absurd excuse.
After three years abroad, he returns home to take back everything that was stolen from him.
He never expected to truly fall in love with the wife he married in a flash three years ago.
She is slender and tall, with a cool, beautiful face.
Ji Xiuye doesn't know when he fell for her.
He tests the waters, draws close, touches her.
Yet the more he tries, the more she seems like a block of wood, impervious to persuasion.
“Shishi, I think I've really fallen in love with you.”
Tears fall onto her shoulder.
The body bears it, the heart trembles.
And we are in love.
“Only after I met you did a quiet line of poetry find its way into my wild eyes.”
Tips:
1. He's had no one but her; she has an ex-boyfriend.
2. There are many flashbacks, and the pacing is relatively slow.
3. A fluffy, brain-off romance. Leave your brain outside the story!
4. Some professional details may be inaccurate; treat the setting as fictional.
