--The Straightforward Blurb--

When Wen Shan's chronic illness keeps him bedridden, he entrusts his only beloved daughter to Meng Heng, a man he once helped.

Meng Heng gazes gently at Wen Shan with a smile but gives no answer, silently refusing because he has no desire to marry.

Seeing this, Wen Shan feels a little disappointed. He is about to ask Meng Heng instead to take Bao Yue under his wing, so she won't be devoured bones and all by her ravenous clansmen, when Bao Yue suddenly rushes into the room.

Bao Yue has been eavesdropping outside for a long time. She carefully sizes up the man before her from head to toe. He has a relaxed expression, an upright build, and the neat, dignified appearance of a scholar, though he is a little old.

Thinking of what her father just said, Bao Yue doesn't hesitate. She gathers her skirt, kneels, and bows respectfully to Meng Heng, calling out:

"Godfather!"

Meng Heng: ...

Though Meng Heng has spent years manipulating the court and pulling strings, he still can't figure out what this father and daughter are up to. So he simply goes along with it, accepts the role, and earnestly plays Bao Yue's godfather.

When Bao Yue reaches the age to marry, Meng Heng, as her godfather, can't help worrying over her. But Bao Yue doesn't want to marry and insists on taking a live-in husband instead.

Naturally, Meng Heng must find her a suitable live-in husband.

But no matter how many candidates he considers, none meet his standards. Whoever it is, he can't bring himself to entrust Bao Yue to someone else.

After thinking it over, Meng Heng decides he may as well get himself ready and marry into the Wen family.

Meng Heng once swore he would never marry in this life. Then he met Wen Bao Yue, and the deadwood of his heart began to bloom. It has flowered year after year ever since.

P.S.

1. The male lead truly holds immense power, and he really does marry into the family.

2. Fifteen-year age gap. The older man finally falls in love. There is no familial relationship of any kind between the leads, and the romance only begins after their godfather-goddaughter relationship is ended.

3. Both are each other's first and only.

4. Not a strong female lead story, just an ordinary sweet romance.
