Marriage first, love later | Faux uncle and niece | Chaste, fatherly man X sweet, gentle girl | Age gap | Size difference

Su Qingmo thought her life was a joke.

At sixteen, she was switched at birth and went from a rich young lady to a Cinderella. On graduation day, the real heiress stole her boyfriend, who sent her an intimate photo with the message: The dream is over. Time to wake up.

She stood in the rain, eyes red, thinking that today had been an absolute disaster.

Then a Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of her.

The window rolled down, revealing a handsome, stern face. His eyes behind gold-rimmed glasses were distant and aristocratic. She knew him: Fu Yunli, the head of the Fu Group, the man she had once called "Uncle."

Su Qingmo assumed he had come to clean up after his real niece. She was even prepared for him to throw a check at her.

But he studied her expressionlessly for three seconds, then asked:

"Will you marry me?"

Fu Yunli treated marriage like a business project. His rules were simple: his wife could want his money or power, but she couldn't want his love.

Su Qingmo agreed. She didn't love him either, so this was just a mutually beneficial arrangement.

She thought she could hold the line.

But as they spent every day together, she broke the rules. At some point, she had secretly fallen for her husband.

To avoid being kicked out of the game, she had to keep her feelings tightly under wraps and pretend everything was normal.

She would make sincere wishes before Buddha, and secretly draw portraits of him.

Until one day, she discovered that the two lines she'd written on the back of a portrait had both come true.

I want to grow old with Fu Yunli.

Well.

No one can be your refuge forever.

Fu Yunli can.

[Side Story]

Fu Yunli was enjoying a candlelit dinner with his wife at a restaurant and teaching her how to kiss when his best friend Zhai Xingwen walked in. The moment he saw the girl in Fu Yunli's arms, his whole worldview shattered. "You beast!"

Outside, Zhai Xingwen complained in frustration, "She used to call you... She's so young. How could you bring yourself to do it?"

Fu Yunli remained calm. "I'm not exactly known for my morals. Besides, I'm seven years older than her, not seventy."

Zhai Xingwen: "How old was she when you were twenty?"

Fu Yunli: "No matter how old she was, she was always going to be my wife someday."
