Blurb 1:
Because of her family's debt crisis, Ming Tian gets married to Chen Junhui, a top student at A University who also comes from a highly educated family. Little does she know that this loveless, passionless marriage is merely an impulsive move by Chen Junhui to make his unrequited love jealous.
A year after the wedding, they have spent the whole year living apart. This marriage in name only has led nowhere.
Chen Junhui does not love her. On their first wedding anniversary, Ming Tian hopes to improve their relationship, but on her way home she sees her husband kneeling before his unrequited love, begging desperately.
At that moment, the anniversary cake in Ming Tian's hands falls to the ground and breaks into pieces. At that moment, her heart dies.
There is no point in a marriage like this, so Ming Tian decisively asks for a divorce the next day.
She thought she would never get involved with another man, until Lu Jin arrives at the company as its new CEO. Lu Jin is a famous returnee heir from Beijing's elite circle, a cold and aloof man nicknamed the Buddha. His eyes are clear, Buddhist prayer beads circle his wrist, and he exudes an air of cool nobility.
He is a man she must never profane.
But she does not know that the Buddha has set his sights on her, taking her step by step.
Blurb 2:
The first time Ming Tian meets Lu Jin, she is handing him a design draft. The man is standing in the smoking room, smoking. When she sees him, she respectfully greets him: "Hello, Mr. Lu."
The cool, noble man looks at her. His cold eyes instantly seem to fill with a hazy, surging darkness.
The cigarette between his fingertips glows and fades.
His voice is clear and cool as he slowly replies, "Hello."
That day, Ming Tian has no idea how deep the possessiveness for her in the eyes of this usually desireless man runs.
Such a delicate little darling. He wants so badly to crush her in his arms and keep her in the palm of his hand, doting on her every day.
Later, Chen Junhui regrets everything and wants to remarry. He shamelessly keeps seeking Ming Tian out, only to see the girl who once clung to him held in the arms of his own boss, the young master. She lowers her head as he gently coaxes her, biting the tip of her ear: "Tiantian, why are you unhappy today? Is the little one in your belly bothering you again? Your husband will comfort you."
