Marriage and romance / melodramatic wealthy-family drama / mostly sweet with a little angst
Seven years ago, Wen Beici, daughter of Beicheng's richest man, first met Lu Sinian. He was a poor student juggling three jobs a day, wearing a white shirt so worn from washing that it had faded.
She walked over and paid a fortune for one of his paintings.
The first time Lu Sinian saw Wen Beici, she was wearing a white dress worth eight thousand yuan, while his white shirt was frayed at the edges from being washed so often.
Their backgrounds were worlds apart, yet she smiled as she approached him.
"Could you paint something for me?"
Seven years later, at a high-society banquet at Beicheng's grandest estate, Wen Group went bankrupt. On the third day after its collapse, Wen Beici's relationship with her fiance, Jiang Xu, fell apart completely. He announced their broken engagement right there, making headlines that day.
Many said that with the Wen family bankrupt and Wen Beici proud and aloof, she was no match for Jiang Xu, the golden boy.
Others said that without the Jiang family's protection, Wen Beici would have nothing.
On a rainy night, on a deserted street, Lu Sinian, still young but already worth tens of billions, carefully lifted the stained hem of her white wedding dress and knelt in the muddy water to propose.
He looked up, rain running along his handsome features, his eyes filled with determination and hope.
Three days later, Beicheng's richest heiress, Wen Beici, and Lu Sinian, a business-world newcomer worth tens of billions, held a lavish wedding.
Within three months of their marriage, Lu Sinian defied the board and acquired one Jiang company after another, bringing the Jiang family to the brink of bankruptcy. When Jiang Xu begged him for help, Lu Sinian replied coldly, "Who do you think you are to negotiate with me?"
"If making my wife happy would do it, I might consider giving the Jiang family a way out."
Everything he did, it turned out, was simply to make one woman happy.
Wen Beici owns the world's only peacock brooch from the last century to be put up for auction.
She has a one-of-a-kind perfume created by a French perfumer over the course of five years.
And she has Lu Sinian's one-of-a-kind love.
Wen Beici doesn't know that Lu Sinian once struggled through the mud, bowed and scraped through humiliation, and endured three years in prison. The only thing he believed in during his dark life was the memory of her smiling at him with warmth and clear eyes.
