An incredibly sweet story. Give it the first ten chapters before you judge!
[Love after marriage of convenience + both leads are chaste + age gap + powerful man bows his head + sizzling chemistry, sweet romance with an older man]
[Elegant Chinese beauty vs. disciplined, abstinent older man]
Everyone in Jiangcheng's social circles knew that Su Ran, the Su family's heiress, never took her work seriously and loved livestreaming food reviews and restaurant visits.
[In reality, she's a hugely talented violinist.]
Shen Jue: The head of the Shen family and the most powerful man in Jiangcheng. He's highly educated, handsome, and comes from a good family. There's only one thing wrong with him.
He's gay!
Everyone in their circle knew Shen Jue had an assistant he was very fond of. The assistant went everywhere with him, and the two were inseparable, as close as can be.
When Su Ran found out, she slapped her thigh and said, "That's the one!"
Since there was no escaping an arranged marriage, she might as well marry a gay man instead of a twice-married, balding old guy!
Su Ran's reasons for marrying Shen Jue were as follows:
First, Shen Jue was rich, ridiculously rich. The Shen Group was the wealthiest in Jiangcheng, so she'd never have to worry about money again.
Second, he was young and handsome. She'd look great standing beside him at a gala, and her fake friends would die of envy.
Third, his parents had passed away, so she wouldn't have in-laws after the wedding.
And fourth, the most important reason: he liked men, so she wouldn't have to fulfill her marital duties.
But after she married him, Su Ran discovered...
The rumors in their circle were all lies!
