Li Yan x Xi Yuechuan | Willful heiress x cold-blooded ambitious man Everyone says childhood sweethearts should be close and innocent, but Li Yan and Xi Yuechuan are a pair of sworn enemies who always seem to cross paths. Li Yan thinks he’s cold and heartless, while Xi Yuechuan thinks she’s willful and spoiled. They marry purely for business reasons. The terms are all laid out in black and white. She says bluntly, “Don’t expect me to be a good wife and mother. Pregnancy is out of the question.” He sneers. “Perfect. I only need a pretty ornament. I don’t need feelings.” Who could have guessed that on their first night as newlyweds, President Xi would be kicked out of bed by the willful princess? “Xi Yuechuan, you’re so cold!” Li Yan grumbles, wrapped in the covers. “Don’t touch me!” With a dark expression, President Xi climbs back up and looks at the little mound on the bed, questioning his business judgment for the first time. The next night, history repeats itself. On the third night, Xi Yuechuan’s gaze darkens, and he pins her beneath him. “If you can’t sleep, then let’s do something else.” Night after night, he wears her out until she’s exhausted, then firmly holds her in his arms as they fall asleep. Li Yan is fed up with this intimacy, and even more fed up with how his possessiveness keeps crossing the line. “Xi Yuechuan, that’s not in the contract!” The man fastens his shirt at an unhurried pace, his voice dangerous. “It is now.” ▪️Enemies-to-lovers, marriage first, love later. Bicker a little, kiss a little. ▪️Both leads are faithful in body and heart | five-year age gap | two wealthy families | imperfect characters Theme: Grow toward the light.
