    You thought the arranged marriage was a mutually beneficial deal, but he threw you into chaos with a gentle kiss. Pei Huaijin's kiss was completely different from what Shen Qingyu had imagined. There was no eager plunder, no domineering possession, only slow and gentle tenderness, as if confirming something, or as if giving her room to back out at any time. Yet his restraint was more captivating than any forceful approach. Shen Qingyu closed her eyes, her heart pounding deafeningly. She could clearly feel every inch of the texture on his lips, as gentle as rain falling on feathers, yet each drop struck her softest heart. It turns out that the ultimate sweetness is to be able to conquer and seize, but patiently wait for you to take the initiative. A powerful figure in Beijing's elite circles × a daughter of a prominent family, marriage of convenience followed by love, feelings blossoming over time. When you think marriage is just an exchange of interests, someone has already secretly loved you for many years. "No Way! I Actually Slept with My Arranged Marriage Partner"—this is not an agreement, but a long-planned deep affection. Watch how an iceberg melts into tenderness for one person.
