[Powerful Families x Family Ties x Eight-Year Age Gap x Marriage Before Love x Long-Suppressed Secret Crush x Face-Slapping and Scum-Bashing x Powerful Man Falls in Love] The Shen and Ji families had been close for generations. Shen Nian’s older brother, Shen Yu, had been close friends with Ji Youning for years.

At nineteen, Shen Nian had a fleeting encounter with the cool, refined Ji Youning, and quietly buried her feelings for him deep in her heart.

Six years later, at her engagement party, her fiancé, Ji Mingyuan, brought his first love and publicly humiliated her, relentlessly forcing her to call off the engagement.

In her most desperate moment, Shen Nian turned to the powerful, restrained, taciturn uncle and resolutely asked him to marry her.

The crowd was stunned. No one thought there was any hope for such a ridiculous proposal.

But Ji Youning met her gaze, made his decision, and agreed, sealing a time-limited marriage of convenience with a marriage certificate.

Everyone assumed he was merely indulging her for the moment. Only he knew this was the culmination of years of restrained longing.

The cold, powerful man breaks his rules for love, tears apart the scum and his first love, and sheds all his reserve. The secret crush he had hidden for years becomes an unabashed, exclusive devotion.
