The Crybaby Spoiling Handbook: The Abstinent Tycoon Soothes Her Every Night

Stubborn, easily-tears-up crybaby × chaste tycoon of the capital's elite circle

Marriage first, love later | crybaby who tears up easily | eight-year age gap, older man | both untouched | sweet romance

After failing the civil service exam twice in two years, Xia Mo hits the lowest point in her life.

She can't find a job and has no idea what to do next, while her family keeps pressuring her, forcing a greasy blind date on her and insisting she get married.

One night, with nowhere else to turn, she agrees through tearful eyes to a contract marriage with a man she's met only once.

Her new husband is Zhou Jingmo, a top tycoon in the capital's elite circle. He's cold, restrained, taciturn, and distant, with his mind entirely on work and no interest in romance.

Their contract marriage is supposed to be an arrangement of convenience: he shields her from the storm, and she helps him fend off his family's pressure to marry. They owe each other nothing and have no ties beyond the deal.

But later...

When someone gives her a hard time, he drives them out of the capital's elite circle in front of everyone.

When she wakes from a nightmare in tears in the middle of the night, he drops a contract worth tens of billions and rushes home.

When she says through tearful eyes, "I'm fine," he settles accounts with everyone who upset her.

His heart, frozen for ten years, is gradually melted by a stubborn little girl who cries at the drop of a hat.

At a drinking party, as everyone takes turns offering him drinks, Zhou Jingmo raises a hand and calmly refuses.

Someone teases him, "Mr. Zhou, aren't you going to show us some respect?"

He glances at the message she sent to his phone, his voice gentler than ever:

"I'm not drinking. My girl is soft-hearted and cries whenever she's upset. I need to get home early to comfort her."

The room falls completely silent.

The heir to the Zhou family, who can turn the tides of the capital's elite with a flick of his wrist, has finally fallen for a little crybaby.

And he's more than happy about it.
