Zhong Suiyue was only twenty when she married Zhou Jinmi. She was young and inexperienced, but Zhou Jinmi wasn't much better: young, reckless, and flamboyant. He couldn't stand hearing his older brothers criticize her, saying she was the second daughter of the Zhong family, unloved by both her father and mother, and that no one would want to marry her. If anyone was to be married, they should take the eldest daughter.
Zhou Jinmi made up his mind. "If none of you will marry her, I will."
On a snowy day, Zhong Suiyue stood bundled up in the snow, rising onto her toes to peer into the distance. When a luxury car finally drove up, a smile immediately bloomed on her frost-reddened face. Before the man inside had even gotten out, she ran over excitedly, opened the car door, and threw herself into his arms, rubbing against his chest. "A Mi, why did you take so long to come back? I missed you."
"You little glutton." Zhou Jinmi tapped the tip of her nose. Seeing her reddened hands, he tucked them into his pocket.
Zhong Suiyue felt two candies in his suit pocket.
She unwrapped one and popped it into her mouth.
Then she unwrapped the other and put it in Zhou Jinmi's mouth.
Zhou Jinmi bit down on the candy she gave him, taking her finger into his mouth along with it.
"You're the glutton! You even ate my finger!" Zhong Suiyue blushed.
Zhou Jinmi took her hand. "Then you can eat mine. That makes us even."

Zhou Jinmi had always been laid-back and lazy. He'd never thought of competing with his older brothers for anything, until he saw Zhong Suiyue being bullied because he had no power or influence. Suddenly, he wanted to fight his brothers for a place at the top.
To the Zhou family, his rise to power could be summed up in one phrase: he seized power for a woman's sake.
No one had expected the most troublesome, incorrigible playboy to become the head of the Zhou family, the Mr. Zhou everyone in their circle now revered.
