    [🔥A marriage of convenience that blossoms into love in a wealthy family! The aloof beauty in "Green Hills Like Jade" descends from her pedestal for love] 🌄When Mr. Sheng, who always wears Buddhist prayer beads, suddenly grabs her wrist— "The marriage partner has always been me." What Chu Shuang thought was a business marriage was actually his long-planned scheme. • He knelt in the Buddhist hall to put a jade bracelet on her finger: "I dare not speak recklessly before the Bodhisattva. Marrying you is my only wish to leave the monastic life." • At the auction, he spent a fortune to buy the landscape painting she had admired, and that night, the study lights stayed on until dawn—the corner of the painting was inscribed with "My wife is like jade." • When she was troubled by rumors, Sheng Ting publicly embraced her: "Everyone, recognize this: if Mrs. Sheng frowns, the entire Sheng family will change direction." 💒 There were no twists and turns of unrequited love, only: - He arrived in a suit and tie with a prenuptial agreement, but it was written as a clause pampering his wife. - The flowers she casually arranged were placed in the most conspicuous spot in his CEO office. - In the old mansion, amidst the swirling sandalwood incense, he kissed her fingertips and said: "I've been praying to Buddha for thirty years, and it turns out it was all for meeting you." #MarriageFirstLoveTextbook #HighClassCouple #HighRoofBeautyBowsForLove

    It's a great story. The unexpected twists and turns brought two couples together: the older brother and the adorable younger sister, and the younger brother and the cool, aloof older sister. The older brother's couple is especially adorable. A scatterbrained little ray of sunshine appeared in his otherwise predictable life, and the gradual unfolding of their feelings through compromises—perhaps it's the lack of aggression that makes them so reassuring.
