Xu Yu'an, a young heiress and a regular fixture in Hong Kong Island's tabloid headlines, is dragged onto the marriage-alliance bandwagon by her own father at twenty-five.
Her match is Su Yuehe, who gave up a life of luxury in Yancheng to spend twelve years doing poverty alleviation work in the mountainous areas of Sichuan and Guizhou. She's now forty.
Seven years ago, she was the one who rejected Xu Yu'an's heartfelt confession. Seven years later, she's the one who agreed to the marriage alliance and promised they'd live apart and go their separate ways.
She selflessly devotes herself to the people and sacrifices her love for her family. Truly, she's got every base covered.
The more Xu Yu'an thinks about it, the angrier she gets. She turns back to focus on her jewelry design career and unwind at all kinds of parties.
In the end, her father hauls her off a yacht and airlifts her to the mountains of Sichuan and Guizhou to spend her honeymoon with a certain someone.
Secretary Su takes her to a shabby little home, smaller than the bathroom in her house, and calmly announces the grim news: they'll be living together.
Living together is one thing, but Xu Yu'an points to the only bed. "We're sharing a bed?"
Su Yuehe crouches to place a pair of worn canvas shoes beside Xu Yu'an's muddy, six-figure heels. She looks up at her. "Mm."
One look brings back memories of Xu Yu'an staying at the Su home as a child, sneaking into her bed in the middle of the night, and even wishing on her birthday that she'd marry Su Yuehe when she grew up. A dark chapter from her past.
The stubborn heiress sits down on the bed and looks at the still-attractive face of the woman in front of her. "Fine, let's share. It's not like I'd lose anything by sleeping with you."
Her friends send messages of comfort when they hear about her predicament, along with predictions that maybe she'll get to experience the classic 'married first, fall in love later' storyline.
After helping distribute food to disaster victims, the heiress glances at the woman being interviewed by her "beloved junior" and feels a pang of irritation. "Am I crazy? Who'd ever like an old woman?"
A dignified, steady poverty-alleviation veteran vs. a flighty heiress from a wealthy family
Theme: True love has nothing to do with age
It only took me one chapter to find someone to write it, so great
You just wrote Su Tinghe as a martyr, but Lin Zhiyi couldn't write it down either!!!!!! I really want to send you a blade 😭
Why do you write this? Then Director Su will come back to inherit the family business. Could it be that Su Tinghe didn't die in the line of duty but can't be found? 😭
He really dedicated everything to the motherland
They both like each other, but they don't say it and you don't even express it.
We are finally going to make some major progress. As an aside, the weather this year is really bad.
It still has a very comfortable atmosphere and rhythm after reading it! These two chapters are written from Su's perspective. It's very interesting. I feel that such a self-possessed person like Su can "marry" is very unusual, and I feel a little bit excited for some reason.
Let me be your mouth and speak quickly!!!! I suit
In the extra story, I want to see them raising a child together🐶
Haven't you been hanging around for many years? How can you be so defensive?
