[Both Chaste + Age Gap + Sweet Romance]

The Wen family's finances fell apart, and Wen Nianzhao's father turned his attention to his two daughters with his late wife. While keeping her father at bay, Wen Nianzhao entrusted her younger sister to the care of her best friend.

Shen Yuci, head of one of Yuncheng's long-established wealthy families, noticed a young woman had joined his household. She was sweet and soft-spoken, and her eyes were full of apprehension whenever she looked at him. But that very timid young woman tried to seduce him that same night, with clumsy techniques.

Wen Nianhe knew her sister had little chance of winning against their father. She'd heard that the head of the Shen family was generous and flirtatious. When people who'd been with him broke up with him, they could either ask him for one favor or receive a large sum of money.

Wen Nianhe nervously went for it, and succeeded with ease. But how was she supposed to get Shen Yuci to break up with her?

Shen Xi had promised her best friend to look after her only relative and keep the swarms of suitors away. Who would have thought she wouldn't be able to keep them away from someone in her own family? When she saw her little uncle pinning Wen Nianhe down to kiss her, the young woman's eyes bright with passion, all she could think was how she was going to face Wen Nianzhao.

When Wen Nianzhao was in dire straits, the Shen family came to her aid, helping her turn the tables. Naturally, she was grateful and looked up to them as mentors and elders. She never expected that one of them would become her brother-in-law.

No one knew that Shen Yuci had once admired the harp at a few concerts. Desire had sparked at first sight, from nowhere, and it could no longer be quenched. In the end, it burned into an unending blaze.

Until the day the one who lit the fire stood before him, eyes full of tears, and poured down a refreshing rain.
