He Suichen is a legendary figure in the business world. He has always been ascetic and self-controlled, cold and aloof for years. He loves buttoning his immaculate white shirts all the way to the top, and is so strict with himself that it borders on the pathological. Everyone in their circle knows that he followed his master to a temple as a child to study Buddhism and Daoism. He never lets women get close to him, and was once named the most popular male idol by a magazine. Later, a top design company under the He Group began releasing white wedding dresses designed personally by He Suichen every year. They were never sold to the public. When a reporter asked him about the inspiration behind the designs, the handsome, usually taciturn man turned the ring on his left ring finger and answered succinctly: “A gift for my new wife.” Everyone watching: ?!!! Holy crap, when did you get married? - Later still, He Suichen’s newly opened Weibo account was exposed, and someone noticed that he followed only one female celebrity. The media frenzy over the gossip erupted all over again. An insider revealed: “That’s Mrs. He, the woman he dotes on like she’s the whole world.” No one believed that a godlike man like He Suichen would descend from his pedestal for a woman. Everyone guessed he must have followed her by accident. That night, He Suichen personally posted to announce their relationship: “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. @Gu Qingwu” Everyone loves him as though he were a god, high above the world and untouched by its dust. But I... Love him most of all when he descends into the mortal world, trailing the scent of incense. Reading guide: A story of mutual healing, one-on-one, both leads’ first love. It’s all about the sweetness. The name is pronounced He Sui Chen. Other books in the same series: Addicted, Into the Thrall, and Ignite. See the author’s profile.
