[A sharp-tongued, chaste powerhouse + love at first sight + both leads' first love + a powerful man lifting her up + fighting tooth and nail for each other + sweet romance + the second male lead's long road to winning her back]
“Does my life not matter?”
“If he gets hurt, then your life doesn't matter.”
“This scar has completely severed your love line. I'm afraid your romantic life will be rocky from now on.”
Xiao Zhiyao never dreamed that simply delivering a bouquet to a private room would leave her with a child. Even less did she expect to become a single mother and the mistress being chased with a knife by the wife of a powerful scumbag.
Luckily, the powerful man pulled her to safety in the end. The knife didn't pierce her neck, but it did slice through the love line on her palm.
Wen Jingyu never expected that after more than thirty years of single, celibate life, his runaway nephew would find him a wife in the blink of an eye. But his new wife, who looked simply dressed, turned out to be clever and brave. When he put an arm around her and held her close, he discovered that she was beautiful, with an even better figure.
“You are who you are. You don't need to compare yourself to anyone else, much less put yourself down.”
“Xiao Zhiyao, you're wonderful.”
“My girl is timid and kindhearted. Don't scare or startle her.”
“Yaoyao, I love you more than the turning of the seasons, more than all the years to come.”
“Go ahead and keep moving forward, but stay where I can see you.”
The cold, chaste tycoon suddenly grew a lovesick heart overnight. From then on, he lured her closer at every turn, supported her in every way, and used every trick, openly and behind the scenes, becoming a shameless little lapdog for love.
(The male lead is steadfast in winning her heart. The female lead has many reservations at first, but bravely embraces love later on. The second male lead faces a long road to winning her back.)
