My Handsome Older Husband Spoils Me Night After Night and Clings to Me for Hugs All Day

Ruan Nian is mocked by the whole city as a pawn in a marriage alliance, marrying the top powerbroker Lu Shiyan, who is ten years older than her.

The contract is signed: separate bedrooms, no interaction, and after a year, they go their separate ways. She’s sweet and sensible, never fighting for anything, content to be a wife in name only.

By day, he is the ruthless business kingpin everyone fears. He sits three meters away from her at breakfast and won’t even look her way. The servants mock her behind her back: Mrs. Lu is unloved and will be thrown out sooner or later.

But every night, there’s a knock at her door.

With his suit off and his eyes rimmed red, Lu Shiyan pulls her into his arms. His voice is low and aggrieved. “Niannian, hold me for a while. Just a little while.”

The ruthless, decisive ice-cold CEO turns into a clingy big dog at night. He never misses a chance to snuggle and cuddle, always gentle and respectful of her boundaries, and only ever acts spoiled with her.

Ruan Nian thinks this marriage is just a transaction that benefits them both.

She has no idea that he has been plotting this marriage for a long time. Her name has been engraved on his heart since a year and seven months ago.
