Shen Nianwan never thought that one day she would marry Gu Chengxiao.
The legendary cold-blooded and ruthless head of the Gu family gave her a blow to the head when the two met for the first time——
"This marriage is just a deal. Do your part and don't expect more."
She said yes.
So she put away her pride, moved into Gu's house, and learned to be a silent wife. In three years, she memorized all his habits, kept his preferences in her heart, and locked her dreams in the deepest part of the drawer.
But what did she get in exchange?
It was his cold back when he returned late at night.
It was his perfunctory way of saying "find the housekeeper" when she had a fever.
It was her birthday, the empty living room and the cool candlelight.
She finally understood - there are some people you can never warm up to.
So she left. He only brought clothes and sewing tools, and didn't ask for a penny from him.
She said: "Gu Chengxiao, you don't have to love me, but you can't trample on my dignity."
He thought she was just having a temper tantrum.
Until she never came back.
Until he discovered that his home without her was as cold as a tomb.
He finally panicked.
