[Marriage first, love later | hearing-impaired male protagonist | Hong Kong style | healing | □□marriage]
He is the second young master who is least valued in the Shen family.
When he was three years old, a high fever took away his hearing and all sense of his presence in the family. In twenty-eight years, he learned to read lips, learn sign language, learn to observe words and expressions, and learned to live calmly under everyone's pity or contempt.
She is the legitimate daughter of the declining eldest son of the Jiang family.
His father died young and the family property was eaten up by his uncle. At the age of twenty-four, she became a bargaining chip for the family to climb up the ladder, and was pushed in front of a man she had never met.
It's just a marriage, everyone gets what they need.
This is how Jiang Wantang convinced himself.
But on their wedding night, the man who was rumored to be "cold and withdrawn" gently wrote two words on her palm with his fingertips -
"Are you afraid?"
At that moment she suddenly realized that he had never intended to use her as a pawn from the beginning to the end.
In the days that followed, he tried every means to "listen" to her——
Use your palms to measure her heartbeat, put your lips to her Adam's apple to capture every syllable, and use your fingertips to write love words on her body that are more honest than words.
And what she taught him was far more than love——
She taught him that being unable to hear was not a flaw, just another way of loving.
The world is too noisy.
But his silence reassured her more than any sound.
