[A powerful man who bows for love + five-year age gap + extra sweet + a guiding lover + devoted husband vibes]
[Mr. Fox Zhao Zhiyan x catlike beauty Ming Yuan]
They met online. Later, Ming Yuan was transferred to Beijing for work, and the two arranged to meet in person.
Ming Yuan gradually realized that this man was almost too gentle. Before she knew it, she had fallen into the tender web Zhao Zhiyan had woven for her.
What Ming Yuan didn't know was that Zhao Zhiyan had seen all of her work. In fact, he had known of her for a full three years before she knew of him. Every bit of it had been planned from the start.
But just before Ming Yuan was ready to confess, a video from an unknown number shattered everything.
The scar from when she was fifteen was ripped open again. The scumbag she'd escaped long ago was using the most degrading memory of her life to demand two million yuan.
Curled up in the dark, she cried until she was shaking, with only one thought in her mind: What if Zhao Zhiyan finds out? Will he think I'm dirty, think I'm shameful, think I'm not worthy of someone as blameless as him?
Even her courage to confess lay shattered on the floor. She retreated into her shell, afraid to come out again.
Zhao Zhiyan chose Ming Yuan without hesitation and held her close. He dealt with the video, the man, and everything else that needed to disappear.
What he gave her was never pity. It was the certainty that he would embrace even the darkest part of her.
She longed for the mountains, so he became the foundation beneath her feet. She wanted to fly, so he waited where the wind would carry her. Every time she took a step forward, he had already paved the way ahead. He didn't want her to look up at him. He wanted her to stand on his shoulders and see the world from even higher up.
