On Cheng Ran's eighteenth birthday, he blew out the candles and opened his eyes to find that he had somehow been reborn a year into the future.
He was sitting in a Western restaurant, facing a man with a stern, chaste air, sharp brows, and a powerful physique clearly visible beneath his suit.
Cheng Ran was stunned.
Then the man spoke, his tone cold and strictly businesslike. "After we get married, I can give you anything you want except love."
Cheng Ran thought he was dreaming. The next second, he reached for the chaste daddy's long, elegant fingers and smiled sweetly.
"Okay, hubby. If you can't give me love, can you at least give me a good time?"
Gu Zhiyan: "..."
.
Cheng Ran had no choice but to accept that he really had been reborn a year into the future. He'd skipped the college entrance exam without any pain, happiness +10,000,000.
After only a few days of consideration, he signed the marriage agreement.
After the wedding, just as Gu Zhiyan had said, Cheng Ran lacked only love. In every material sense, he lived in almost absurd luxury.
Until one unexpected incident.
He and Gu Zhiyan ended up in bed together.
The next morning, before Gu Zhiyan could say anything, Cheng Ran considerately spoke up. "I get it, I get it. You can give me anything except love. So, as compensation, could you buy me another little island, hubby? ^ω^."
The man's Adam's apple bobbed. At last, he said only, "All right."
.
Cheng Ran noticed that Gu Zhiyan had been acting a little strange ever since that night.
He came home on time before eight every evening, had such a poor memory that he'd drink the milk Cheng Ran had left behind, and was much stricter with him, even insisting on taking care of things like clipping his nails and putting on his socks.
One day, Cheng Ran was in a minor car accident.
A brilliant idea struck him: he pretended to have amnesia, thinking that way the man would stop keeping such a strict eye on him.
That night, however, the man lifted him onto the desk. The cold surface beneath him was a stark contrast to the heat of the body pressed against him.
The man kissed his hair, his voice low and indistinct.
"Baby, you forgot. You used to love doing it with me right here..."
Cheng Ran, faking amnesia: "Σ(゜゜)!!!"
"Bonus Scene"
Their marriage agreement was for one year. When it expired, Cheng Ran packed his things and prepared to leave.
Gu Zhiyan leaned against the doorway and said calmly, "For every piece of clothing you want to put in that suitcase, you have to do it with me once."
Before he could even pack three pieces of clothing, Cheng Ran had already gone limp in the man's arms.
The young man kicked him with red-rimmed eyes. "You said you could give me anything except love."
A warm hand closed around his snow-white ankle, and hot breath brushed his neck.
The man's voice was hoarse, but earnest.
"I'll give you money, and I'll give you love. But there's one thing I won't give you: the chance to leave me."
A chaste-looking but secretly insatiable daddy-type top × a seemingly bookish yet pure, seductive beauty bottom.

Everything in the story serves the romance between the leads. It's a sweet love story focused on the two of them.
