Simple Pleasures of Life

Ji Yanye, head of the Ji Group, has always been someone no one in the business world dares to offend. He acts with ruthless decisiveness and is even more brutal in his methods.

Rumor has it that when he was attacked overseas, he fought his way out alone, his handsome face spattered with blood. Ever since, his temperament has grown even darker.

.

He gradually withdrew from the public eye. Haunted by his past and confined to a wheelchair, he wouldn't let strangers come near.

Later, people heard that the big shot had entered a business marriage. His wife was a young woman whose birth chart was compatible with his. Everyone thought she was sure to spend her life alone and miserable.

.

That was until a tabloid reporter snapped photos of the newlyweds enjoying a secret outing.

The man lounged in his wheelchair, taking pictures of the young woman as she rode the carousel. Then he scooped her onto his lap with one arm and tied her loose hair into a pretty bun for her.

.

Even the elegant, tranquil courtyard of his mansion had been dug up to make room for a vegetable garden.

The usually cold and fierce man sat beneath the veranda, smiling as he watched his gardening-obsessed wife bustle about. He spoiled her to no end.

As a wealthy heiress who had grown up away from home, Ruan Jin had a sweet face and two particularly charming dimples when she smiled.

Her biological parents didn't find her until she was twenty-three, and instead of inheriting a fortune, she found herself facing a marriage arranged between wealthy families.

.

She had assumed that her future husband was disabled and wouldn't live much longer.

But on the second day after their wedding, she found a handsome man jogging in the villa's gym. It was the same man who had sat in a wheelchair while registering their marriage...

.

The sweet romance series she had written became a huge hit. At its premiere, sharp-eyed onlookers recognized the white jade bodhi beads on her slender wrist. They were the very beads the business magnate never went anywhere without.

His most treasured possession had now become her talisman, keeping her safe.

.

Later, Ji Yanye reclaimed his place as head of the family. The tall, broad-shouldered man strode up the steps and gave only a scornful glance to the Ji family members who had once betrayed him and now stood trembling with fear.

Then he softened his voice and called to the young woman hiding behind the crowd, exasperated: “Stop hiding. Come over here.”

.

That evening, in their luxuriously decorated bedroom, the man leaned over his sleepy-eyed wife and chuckled. “Still want to work in the garden, baby? If not, we could do something else...”

“Garden, garden, of course I want to garden!” She jolted awake. If she'd known how fit this man was, she never would have married him!
