Forced to Marry an Old Man, Divorced, and Still Being Clung To

A kind, adorable little worrywart x a cold, indifferent older man. Marriage first, love later.

Xu Jing took his younger brother's place and married a bedridden old man.

On the day they registered their marriage, there was a trace of desolation in the man's deep eyes.

Seeing people treat him so roughly, Xu Jing felt sorry for this man he'd never even met and showed him some kindness.

After the wedding, Xu Jing devoted himself to taking care of Ji Yanting, and the man began to show him kindness in return.

He protected Xu Jing when they were out, remembered what he liked, and answered his questions.

Xu Jing, who had never experienced a father's love, felt the warmth of family for the first time.

He couldn't help but quietly open his heart. He thought this marriage was a sweet accident of fate.

But once the family power struggle ended, Xu Jing discovered that he, too, had been part of the scheme. He looked at Ji Yanting calmly, his heart aching with an indescribable bitterness.

The shrewd Ji Yanting never imagined that one day the disappointed look in a young man's eyes would make him panic.

Later, Xu Jing returned to his hometown, intending to spend the rest of his life in peace.

But could someone tell him why an old man kept climbing over his wall in the middle of the night?

Xu Jing pressed his lips together as he watched the shameless man making himself at home. He didn't know what to do anymore.

"When are you leaving?"

At that, the man put down his chopsticks and left. But that night, Xu Jing watched him getting ready to climb the wall again, feeling utterly helpless.
