[Marriage First, Love Later + Age Gap + They Communicate Clearly + Honest but Shy]
Female lead’s perspective: a refined, aloof woman in power X a sweet, charming actress
Onlookers’ perspective: an honest man married a formidable woman
Male lead’s perspective: laundry detergent~
Lu Li, the true heiress, had only just been welcomed back into her wealthy family when she became a pawn in a marriage alliance.
The Shen family of the capital had a century-old legacy and formidable influence.
To fend off pressure to marry, the family’s powerful head, Shen Yanzhou, chose her.
His reason was that she had just had her heart broken, so she was independent and clear-headed.
He couldn’t offer her even a little love.
As it happened, she didn’t want any.
Lu Li was a woman who kept her promises. She always did what she said she would.
Her marriage contract with her husband, Shen Yanzhou, was clear:
No companionship, no love, and no children for three years.
But somehow, things didn’t quite go according to the contract.
She filmed a drama, and he was right there beside her. She appeared on a variety show, and he was right there beside her.
She took on a brand deal, and she... took on his brand deal.
So, no companionship, huh? Was he just playing at being her bodyguard out of pure love?
Shen Yanzhou was a man with principles. Three strikes, and that was it.
Until his wedding night with his new wife, Lu Li, whom he’d married through an alliance.
They tried three times on their wedding night, and failed every time.
“All right, I’ll do what you say. We’ll try again next time.”
From then on, his principles belonged to her.
I rarely write book reviews, but this one is really good, super good, there is no female competition, no misunderstandings, the male and female protagonists are convinced that they will not fall in love with each other in the early stage, but once they see their hearts clearly, they take the initiative and open their mouths without any hesitation.
