A chaste, refined, fatherly male lead x a bright young heiress with a sweet tongue and a knack for flirting
At thirty-six, Sheng Yanzhou was a legend in Harbor City: worth hundreds of billions, handsome and distinguished, single... and raising a child. Yet countless women still wanted to marry him and secure the ultimate prize.
Unfortunately, his five-year-old son was a notorious little terror who ruined every one of Sheng Yanzhou's romantic prospects.
That was, until Nan Yu appeared.
"Mommy!"
Nan Yu accepted the role in just one second. "Good boy!"
Her husband was rich, handsome, older, and knew how to take care of her. She became a mother without the pain of childbirth, and Nan Yu, a winner in life, had only just turned twenty.
Her best friend couldn't understand. "Does Sheng Yanzhou really not have that old-man smell?"
Nan Yu asked, "If you had to marry Zhang Linghe at thirty-six, would you mind?"
Her friend got it immediately.
When Nan Yu was in seventh grade, she happened to see Sheng Yanzhou in a financial interview on TV. He wore a sharp suit and spoke with elegant composure.
In eighth grade, Nan Yu went with her father to a charity gala and met Sheng Yanzhou in person.
One glance, and he became the dream of her girlhood.
Sheng Yanzhou thought his young wife loved him far too much, so much that he could never repay her. So he showered her with money, gave her cash and shares, and bought her houses, cars, and diamonds.
But his young wife clutched his sleeve, looking aggrieved. "I just want you to love me a little more."
Later, a friend asked Sheng Yanzhou, "Didn't you swear off marriage?"
He replied, "Keep your voice down. If she hears you, I'll have to sleep on the sofa again."
[My whole life, I was meant to be alone, but I can't bear to let you be alone.]
