“A naturally strong, orphaned perfumer forced to live under someone else’s roof, and a taciturn, distant man hiding his identity as a top tycoon.”
Deep secret love, mutual salvation, always backing each other up, a love that grows slowly and steadily
– –
Ancient fragrances linger in the soul, serene and peerless.
Yan Chao, an orphan who came from the mountains, inherited the ancient art of perfumery. Exceptionally gifted, she became famous throughout Beicheng.
People admired her elegant bearing and ethereal aloofness. They envied her and resented her for being sponsored and adopted by a top-tier wealthy family, with a bright future ahead of her.
But they didn’t know that for decades, she had been trapped in the Lu family’s adoption scam, living under their roof and learning firsthand how fickle kindness could be.
She had once given someone her heart, only to be betrayed and trampled on, then mocked mercilessly.
After her heart died, she hid her softness, made her living through perfumery, and stood firm on her own, becoming someone no one could bully.
She thought she was destined to be alone for life, unaware that there was someone whose blood ties to his family were just as distant, and whose situation was just as difficult.
He endured hardship from a young age, but kept his head down and climbed to the top, becoming a hidden tycoon capable of turning the tide.
To outsiders, he was cold, austere, and untouchable, without warmth or love. Only he knew that for more than a decade, he had never once looked away from her.
His love ran deep, buried beneath the surface, his obsession bordering on madness.
Restraint was a disguise; favoring her was instinct.
He might seem incapable of tenderness, yet he was willing to give everything to keep her safe.
The world thought him cold and taciturn, but with her, he never yielded an inch. He would fight to the end and protect her at all costs.
They say the world is fickle, and people’s hearts are quick to change and drift apart.
But they were each other’s safest, strongest, and most unbreakable refuge.
Destined to meet in this life, they weathered every storm together.
They saved each other and became one another’s lifelong support.
