Marriage first, love later | Both are devoted only to each other | Slow-burn romance | The powerful one learns to bend
The original plan was for Qin Linghao, the second son of the Qin family, to marry Jiang Rou, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.
But on their wedding day, Qin Linghao showed up with an illegitimate child, and Jiang Rou, furious, took off her wedding dress and flew abroad.
Relations between the two families grew extremely strained.
To smooth things over, the marriage arrangement was switched to Qin Linghan, the Qin family's eldest son, and Jiang Ning, the Jiang family's younger daughter.
Qin Linghan was said to be cold, restrained, stern, and old-fashioned, the opposite of his younger brother's warm, romantic nature.
On the day they met for their arranged date, Jiang Ning's first impression was that he was hard to get along with.
He lifted his icy eyes and said something startling.
“If we're not going to talk about feelings or love, we can go register our marriage right now.”
Jiang Ning had no choice but to accept the marriage.
She nodded and agreed, then faithfully followed his terms. She didn't talk about feelings or love, and even when she ran into trouble, she didn't ask him for help.
Everyone thought Qin Linghan and Jiang Ning were together only because it was the only way to stabilize relations between their families.
Until one day, the man got drunk and clung to Jiang Ning, refusing to let go.
He demanded that she tell him she loved him.
Only then did Jiang Ning finally see another side of him.
He was a clingy little puppy after all.
