A Winning Move, A Happy Ending

At seven, Chu Qingyi was sent to the Shen family and became Shen Yiyan’s “child bride” in name only.

Everyone thought she had married above her station. The Shen family had been a wealthy dynasty for three generations, and Shen Yiyan was its only heir, a privileged young man of impeccable bearing. Chu Qingyi, by contrast, was an orphan whose parents had died, with nowhere else to go.

But only Shen Yiyan knew that he had waited fifteen whole years for her to grow up.

He was a ruthless hunter in the business world, a master strategist, shrewd and calculating, who never made a deal at a loss. But when it came to her, he had spent half his life plotting, all so she would willingly stay by his side.

He protected her with the utmost restraint, drove away anyone who coveted her with an iron hand, and used his deepest schemes to pave a path that would lead her to him.

And she, from a timid little girl, grew step by step into a rising star in architectural design, independent, clear-minded, and proud. But when it came to romance, she was so slow on the uptake that he could barely stand it.

“How much earlier?”

“Back when you first called me ‘big brother.’”
