In the fifth year of secretly loving Lu Shiyan, Su Zhiyu married him.
It was a marriage of convenience, with each side getting what they needed. He was a notorious playboy in the capital, while she was the quiet, obedient daughter of the Su family. He married her merely to appease his family, but she staked all her youth on marrying him.
Three months into their marriage, he slept in the study while she slept in the master bedroom. He was constantly out at social events, leaving her alone at home. She hid all her love in the little things, not daring to speak, to ask, or to hope for anything.
Then she ran into her former university senior at an art gallery, a man who remembered all her likes and was gentle to the core.
For the first time, Lu Shiyan realized that his little wife could smile. Not the cautious, walk-on-eggshells smile she gave him, but a smile for someone else, bright as stars scattered across the ground.
In that moment, the capital's most notorious playboy went mad.
He read her journal, secretly took pictures of her, and held her hand tight after she fell asleep. He bought white roses, red dresses, and plane tickets to Giverny. He engraved every offhand remark of hers in his heart, and in the corners of her world she never saw, he clumsily, obsessively, and recklessly chased after the confession that was five years too late.
“Su Zhiyu, why do you think I agreed to this marriage?”
“It wasn't for the Lu family's reputation. It was because your name was written on that marriage contract.”
This is a story of a secret crush coming true, and of a playboy falling hard. She spent five years loving him in secret, and he spent the rest of his life proving that she had waited for the right man.
