Su Ruofu was the cherished youngest daughter of her family. Her parents loved each other, her elder sister looked after her, and she grew up carefree and lively, as free as the wind.
Xie Qingyan was the heir to the Prince of Huainan, a man with power over the court. Handsome and aloof, noble and dignified, he was known as the foremost of the capital's aristocratic young men and admired by all.
Su Ruofu and Xie Qingyan had grown up together. She would call him "Brother" with a bright smile, and had always thought of him as nothing more than an older brother.
Then news broke that the Su family was looking for a husband for their youngest daughter. The capital's eligible young men rushed to make their interest known, one after another.
At last, the always composed and self-restrained heir to the Prince of Huainan could take it no longer. He pinned Su Ruofu against a corridor pillar as she headed out to pray for a good match. Dark flames burned in his eyes. "If Fu'er is choosing a husband, shouldn't I be first on the list?"
An imperial decree arranging their marriage arrived at the Su residence, shocking the entire capital.
Everyone thought the childhood sweethearts had taken their relationship to the next level. They didn't know that Xie Qingyan had forced Su Ruofu into marriage.
He had cherished her since she was little.
She was precious to him, and he granted her every wish.
She was meant to be his.

To everyone else, Xie Qingyan was cold and abstinent.
Only Su Ruofu knew how possessive and domineering he was.
On their wedding night, Xie Qingyan backed Su Ruofu step by step against the bed in their bridal chamber.
He gripped her trembling waist and kissed her earlobe, whispering, "Fu'er has called me 'Brother' for so many years... It's time to change what you call me."
Su Ruofu pushed at him, tears in her eyes. "I can't bring myself to say it..."
"That's all right. The night's still young. I'll teach you slowly."
#Not just his childhood sweetheart, but the wife he'd been plotting to make his for years.
