Young Master, Stop Pretending, You're Crazy About the Darling Heiress

“Daddy-type hero, marriage before love, age gap, devoted to each other, sweet romance”

“Traditional, devoted man in power × bright, sunny, adorable girl”

Tang Youli registered her marriage at twenty. When she first met her groom, Xie Ming'an, the young master of the Xie family, she was twenty-one and he was twenty-eight.

The man wore a black suit so perfectly neat he seemed almost old-fashioned. Tang Youli later discovered that he really was old-fashioned, but also the most rebellious. Xie Ming'an thought the two little horns atop Tang Youli’s head made her so cute she seemed almost childish. Later, he realized that she really was childish and stubborn, yet also the clearest-headed person he knew.

They didn’t start living as a married couple until a year after registering their marriage. Xie Ming'an said they could keep things as they had been and stay out of each other’s business. Tang Youli missed him after a year apart, so she reluctantly agreed. But weren’t they supposed to stay out of each other’s business?

It was one thing for him to manage her meals, sleep, and studies, but why was he also policing her clothes, late nights, and suitors? He was everywhere.

“Daddy.”

“Say that again.” The man gripped her waist, his low voice edged with a warning.

Tang Youli noticed the ominous look in his eyes and gave a small cough. “H-hubby.”

Everyone called Xie Ming'an a once-in-a-generation talent, yet he chose to go abroad alone and build a market in the Americas, staying away for years. When rumors spread that the Xie and Tang families were arranging a marriage alliance, no one thought the two of them were involved. That is, until people noticed Xie Ming'an showing up in the country more and more often, and a bodyguard appearing at the side of the Tang family’s eldest daughter.

When Tang Youli was little, she broke Xie Ming'an’s jade pendant. Several fortune-tellers told her she’d have to marry him or her luck with money would suffer.

Tang Youli was furious. This man was bad luck for her!

She refused to believe it. Later, she discovered he was actually her lucky charm.

The one and only time Xie Ming'an followed his family’s wishes and agreed to an arranged marriage was because he wanted his life to stay exactly the same. Later, when everything in his life was turned upside down, he could only be grateful he’d made that choice.
