Straightforward, Down-to-Earth Woman vs. Her Husband's Fatherly Uncle, a CEO
One-on-one, mutual devotion, twelve-year age gap
Three months after Gu Qingwan marries into the Huo family, her husband dies in a car accident.
She plans to leave quietly without taking anything, but the Huo family keeps her with a contract.
If she observes five years of mourning for her late husband, she'll receive a valuable share of the family business.
Gu Qingwan agrees.
Later, when her family runs into trouble, she offers to give up the shares and asks to borrow some money to get them through the crisis.
But the Huo women either look on coldly or sneer at her.
The honest, unassuming Gu Qingwan has no choice but to ask one of the Huo men for help.
But after Huo Shiyan helps her, he latches onto her and refuses to let go.
He even shamelessly says, "Be good. Don't call me Uncle. Call me Hubby."
