- An insecure but resilient heroine X an understanding, guiding CEO
- Updated daily, full draft completed
[1]
Su Xining was the second child in a family that favored sons over daughters.
She was used to being ignored and to hiding her feelings.
Until an accident happened:
She became pregnant with Lu Junchuan's child.
Lu Junchuan was the heir to the Lu family, a man who wielded great power.
Rich, composed, and towering above everyone else, he was far beyond her reach. Su Xining had never intended to keep the child. She didn't think she was allowed to.
When the marriage agreement was laid before her, she understood: this was a transaction.
"I'll leave after I give birth. Please don't worry, Mr. Lu."
Su Xining had no intention of clinging to him, and she ignored his silence.

Lu Junchuan was a good man. He gave her the best medical care and the finest supplements, and looked after her with tireless tenderness when morning sickness left her weak and drained. Who could help falling for him?
She carefully kept her feelings in check, but still couldn't help wondering:
Could Lu Junchuan like her, even just a little?
One night, she got a call and went to a private club.
"A little fling is one thing, but why did you really get married, Mr. Lu? Don't tell me the rumors are true and she's pregnant?"
Unable to bear hearing his answer, Su Xining took a step back.
But the man's matter-of-fact reply reached her clearly, fierce and serious: "When have I, Lu Junchuan, ever been so spineless that a child could tie me down? And who do you think you are to criticize my wife?"
In an instant, Su Xining's eyes reddened.
She gave a self-mocking smile. After hearing so many cruel words, it was astonishing how much a sentence like that could move her.
For the first time in more than twenty years, someone had chosen her without hesitation.
The moment the man caught her wrist and pulled her into the car, Su Xining leaned forward and kissed him, stumbling into it. Lu Junchuan held the back of her neck and deepened the kiss.
"Su Xining, I warned you not to tempt me at a time like this."
Lu Junchuan loosened his collar with one hand and stepped through the doorway, his voice hoarse and his gaze burning.

Everyone said Lu Junchuan had married her for the child.
Su Xining only smiled faintly.
She had thought the same until she saw Lu Junchuan's diary.
"I steadied her waist in the elevator. I didn't dare grip too hard."
"How could someone from the Lu family get divorced so easily? What a silly girl."
"If only she hadn't gotten pregnant. Poor thing, she's throwing up so badly."
"It's New Year. I want to see her. Go pick her up."
It turned out every choice had left a trace.
"I think our meeting came just as spring arrived."
