After I Married as a Stand-In, He Waited Eight Years for Me

Su Wan married into the Lu family in her younger sister's place. On their wedding night, her husband, Lu Shiyan, handed her a contract: they would stay out of each other's business and each get what they wanted. She signed. She thought this was nothing more than a transaction: she needed the Lu family's money to keep her sister's music school afloat, while the Lu family needed a respectable wife to keep up appearances. What she didn't know was that this man had been waiting for her for eight years. From the light on the rooftop when she was nineteen to every one of her manuscripts he kept in his study, he never said a word. He simply did three things: protected her from the Su family, cleared her name when she was accused of stealing manuscripts, and paved every road ahead of her, then waited at the end for her to walk toward him of her own accord. When the contract expired, the whole city waited for her to sign the papers and leave. Lu Shiyan tore up the contract in front of everyone.
