[Marriage first, love later | Seven-year age gap | A sweet, slice-of-life romance]

The first time Xiang Nanyan visited the marital home, she discovered her fiance acting ambiguously with another woman. He'd even brought her to stay there. Caught red-handed, her fiance explained:

"Why are you making a fuss? She's just my little sister. Can't you tone down that spoiled princess attitude of yours?"

Xiang Nanyan promptly and decisively called off the engagement. She then went straight to register her marriage with her ex-fiance's uncle, Ming Zhanshen. There was no other reason: in a loveless marriage, the Ming family's uncle had more influence and authority. Besides, Ming Zhanshen had told her, "If he doesn't know how to cherish you, then next time we meet, I'll make him call you Auntie. The hurt will pass, but your seniority in the family can never be changed."

He described himself in a few simple words: "Capable, clean, rich, powerful."

Plenty of people in their social circle said the Xiang family was shamelessly selling their daughter for status, switching her marriage match from nephew to uncle just to climb the social ladder. There was no love between the couple, they were merely pretending to get along while sharing a bed, and their marriage was nothing but a sham. They were sure to divorce within a few years.

Even his friends asked why he had to choose his nephew's former fiancee.

Ming Zhanshen: "Her family is very happy with me. The first time she met me, she married me. Her actions proved she liked me, so of course I have to do my best. She's my wife. I won't let her lose."

-

Xiang Nanyan had originally assumed their marriage would amount to little more than mutual respect and politeness. She never expected Ming Zhanshen to give her endless tenderness and affection.

Some people only need one fleeting glance to find their way into your heart. One brief encounter, and it was already fate.
