A contractual marriage in which everyone gets what they need, I thought it was just a show, but he gave her all his tenderness.
When dessert shop chef Su Nian is desperate, Shen Du, the president of the Shen Group, suddenly appears and hands over a one-year "marriage agreement" - he will pay off all her debts and she will act as his perfect fiancée.
The conditions are clear: don't be sincere.
But she didn't know that Shen Du had walked back and forth in front of her store forty-seven times. I didn't know that he had been looking for her for twenty-one years. Little did he know that the ditty she unintentionally hummed while making dessert was his only salvation in the long dark night.
When the contract was torn up, when the fake show became real, the legendary man with no weaknesses blocked her in the corner with red eyes:
"Su Nian, I broke the contract."
"I'm moved, completely."
——Mr. Shen, please sign for this, twenty-one years late, sincerely.
Reader comments
I read it in one breath and my eyes got wet several times. Shen Du is not the kind of sweet-talking male protagonist, but he used twenty-one years of waiting and clumsy sincerity to carve the word "love" into every detail - the forty-seven hesitations of not daring to open the door, the twenty-one handwritten "good night", and the bowl of tomato and egg noodles that were always fried. Su Nian was not stupid, she warmed his entire frozen world in her own way. The best love is not about who saves the other, but when two people illuminate each other. Sweet but not greasy, it warms the heart and is worth reading again and again. Have you encountered it?
