The Poor Little Dork Was Loved So Tenderly

[Mutually devoted, with both angst and sweetness, powerful man learns to lower his head]

She was the real daughter of the Jian family, raised in the countryside from childhood. But after they found her, life was nowhere near as good as she'd imagined.

The fake heiress couldn't stand her, and her biological parents and older brother cared more about the fake heiress than they cared about her.

She was bullied at school, too.

She called her adoptive parents, wanting to go home, and they came to get her.

Misfortune always finds the most unfortunate people.

Her adoptive parents died in a plane crash.

She felt she had no home anymore.

Without a home, everywhere was a place to wander.

When her biological parents, for the sake of their own interests, packaged her off into an arranged marriage, Jian Wei agreed. Only then would her mother love her.

The adoptive parents who loved her most in the world were gone.

She wanted to win her biological mother's love.

She'd heard that the man was enormously powerful, dark-tempered, and possessed a vicious need to control everything.

She thought, Fine. It didn't matter if she rotted in the mud.

She had no home anyway.

But the man said to her:

"Jian Wei, have you ever thought about what kind of life you want?"

She shook her head...

"If you haven't figured it out, then stay by my side and take your time."

"Tell me when you do."

"I'll be here with you."
