Excessive Spoiling

Lin Jiayue had enjoyed twenty carefree years, but a crisis in her family's business left it on the verge of bankruptcy. To solve the problem, she "sold" herself to the eldest daughter of the Xu family, a prestigious and fabulously wealthy family.

Rumor had it that Xu Ruining was ruthless and would sacrifice lives for money, a merchant reeking of money. Others said that despite her advanced age, she had never lost her looks and must be a wicked old witch.

Nervously, Lin Jiayue moved into the house Xu Ruining had prepared for her. No matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't understand why a woman like that would help the Lin family through its crisis.

The night they met, Xu Ruining said, "I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do."

Only later did Lin Jiayue learn that the cool, stern President Xu could gently soothe her as she sobbed in her arms; that President Xu, who never had to lift a finger herself, would quietly cook congee after Lin Jiayue drank too much, then keep watch by her bedside until dawn; and that someone really could wait five years for another person.

Lin Jiayue: Before I met Xu Ruining, I didn't understand what love was. But I think I understand now. Xu Ruining is what love is.

To Xu Ruining, Lin Jiayue is the light, the rest of her life.
