A Twelve-Point Lover

Redemption | Six-year age gap, older man | Both are virgins | Two gilded cages

Main couple: Short-tempered, gloomy heiress x refined, unscrupulous research genius [Fake villain, genuinely loyal puppy]

In the sweltering summer after the college entrance exams, Ji Shu met a plaything she took a particular liking to.

Cheng Yuan, a cheap, submissive little lamb with nothing but good looks. His greatest virtue was that he somewhat resembled her ex-boyfriend, Lu Xubai.

When they first met in the glass greenhouse, Ji Shu was drawn to Cheng Yuan's calm, gentle air. The housekeeper kindly arranged for Cheng Yuan to become her gardener, giving her the perfect opportunity to torment him.

Ji Shu poured all her malice onto Cheng Yuan, thinking he would get angry and quit. But the clownfish she looked down on most of all was the one who helped her emerge from a two-year-long darkness.

When she began her life anew and finally took a serious look at Cheng Yuan, she found that he was even more dazzling than Lu Xubai.

Cheng Yuan was the one who made her fall in love a second time, a lighthouse guiding her way.

On the day they confirmed their relationship, Cheng Yuan scored a perfect ten in Ji Shu's heart.

Ji Shu didn't know that her mild-mannered sheep of a boyfriend was hiding another side.

Cheng Yuan had deliberately approached her, attached himself to her, and plotted to win her affections, all while jealously watching every man around her from the shadows.

He had even come for revenge.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, Ji Shu's birthday party was held at sea, and Cheng Yuan's perfect-boyfriend mask slipped.

He lured her onto a cruise ship and pushed her into the sea with his own hands, turning her into a "dead woman" and trapping her on an isolated island.

Using her as leverage, he drove away her family, seized the Ji family's assets, and stole power for himself in the most despicable way.

By day, he forced her to play the dignified, virtuous wife. At night, he forced her to accept him.

He trained and remade her, pushing her toward a breakdown step by step.

Later, Ji Shu escaped the island and returned to the Ji family, swearing to ruin Cheng Yuan's reputation.

Consumed by hatred, she appeared at the Ji Corporation's board meeting and threw down a share-transfer agreement, shattering Cheng Yuan's dream of taking over the family.

She thought her fierce revenge would work, but it only sent her right back into Cheng Yuan's hands.

She had "come back from the dead" and become the envy of everyone as Mrs. Cheng overnight.

After the wedding, Cheng Yuan let her wound him again and again, humiliating him as she pleased, but firmly refused to divorce her. He declared to the public that they were a loving couple, and every day he pampered and indulged her, treating her like a treasured flower. He was nothing like the "Cheng Yuan" on the island.

Ji Shu couldn't understand why this "Cheng Yuan" willingly obeyed her and let her hurt him.

Only when she returned to the island a second time did she finally understand...

From beginning to end, Cheng Yuan's love for her had always been at its peak.

She would forever be the little rose he tenderly nurtured.
