Synopsis

[Marriage First, Love Later, Five-Year Age Gap]

[Fiery Hothead X Steady, Cunning CEO]

Everyone in Beijing's social circles knows that Sang Yin and Huo Yanxing are complete opposites.

Sang Yin is spoiled and domineering, impossible to overlook, and has nothing going for her but a pretty face.

Huo Yanxing is steady and self-possessed, ruthless in business. Still young, he has already secured his position as head of the Huo family, and he has always loathed spoiled, willful people.

When the Sang family goes bankrupt, the gossips in their circles all wait to see Sang Yin make a fool of herself. Instead, they get news of her marriage to Huo Yanxing.

Everyone is astonished, and the rumors fly.

Someone boldly asks him about it.

The extravagantly dressed, dignified man slowly turns the wedding ring on his finger and replies calmly, "We were betrothed as children."

--

At a dinner party, Sang Yin runs into her longtime nemesis, who sneers arrogantly, "Sang Yin, without the Sang family to back you up, what are you going to rely on to act so high and mighty?"

Before Sang Yin can fire back, a strong arm wraps around her waist.

The man's voice is deep and commanding. "Is my backing powerful enough?"

--

Sang Yin is quick-tempered and lively, and she can't stand stiff, boring men like Huo Yanxing.

On their wedding night, she stands two meters from the bed, glaring at Huo Yanxing warily. "Don't even think about trying anything with me."

Huo Yanxing unhurriedly loosens his tie and glances at her. "Relax."

Sang Yin thinks he means it as a promise.

It isn't until one night that she finally understands what he really meant by "relax."

Wrapped in a blanket, she cries, "You said I could relax!"

Huo Yanxing brushes aside the damp strands of hair stuck to her face and finishes what he left unsaid on their wedding night. "You can relax, because I've wanted you for a long time."

Coming soon: Jiangnan, Long Awaited

[Entertainment Industry Mogul X Martial Arts Stunt Double]

[Suave Villain X Cold Beauty]

Fan Sheng is the protagonist's shadow on set, always ready when called and never showing her face to the camera.

A costar makes a mistake, and Fan Sheng's nose hits a stone pillar. People bustle around the set, each absorbed in their own important work. No one pays any attention to an insignificant martial arts stunt double like her.

As she covers her nose, tilts her head back, and quietly steps aside to deal with the bleeding, a slender, pale hand suddenly appears before her.

"Maybe you should find another job. Girls are delicate, after all."

The man stands with the light behind him, his features indistinct. His voice is unhurried, like the deep, rich notes of a cello, inexplicably plucking at her heartstrings.

Fan Sheng freezes for a moment, then takes the tissue from him. "Thank you."

-

On February 14, Valentine's Day, the first snow drifts gently down.

After finishing her last shot, Fan Sheng hurries away from the set to meet her boyfriend.

On a dark, quiet road, headlights suddenly come on. The luxury car parked by the roadside is like a leopard lying in wait for its prey.

Fan Sheng walks over and returns the expensive diamond necklace, explaining patiently, "Mr. Song, I already have a boyfriend."

Song Shichen smiles faintly without a word, gets out of the car, and holds out an envelope to her.

Fan Sheng opens it, baffled. Her expression turns cold as she looks at the photos of her boyfriend cheating.

Song Shichen takes one end of the necklace and puts it on her, then bends down to leave a light kiss on her ear. "It's all right. I don't mind."

-

Song Shichen took over the family business at a young age. He is ruthless and merciless in his dealings, with a cold, steely heart beneath his refined, compassionate appearance.

Even with women, he never shows mercy.

Everyone in their circles says he's a madman who has cut himself off from all human feeling.

But no one knows that a glimpse of her in the Jiangnan rain years ago became the yearning he still dreams of every night.

Your eyes hold gentle waves, concealing distant mountains and rivers, my whole world.

Coming soon: Scorching Ears

[Arrogant B-King X Airheaded Beauty]

[Rapper X Comic Artist]

Ruan Er first sees Tan Xiao outside a convenience store. Dressed head to toe in black, the man squats by the entrance smoking. Light shines from behind him, stretching his shadow across the ground into a lonely outline.

For some reason, Ruan Er thinks of the husky she lost. Her heart softens, and she buys a bottle of milk and hands it to him. "Smoking is bad for you. Drink this, then hurry home."

Tan Xiao puts out his cigarette and is about to take the milk when Ruan Er adds in a muffled voice, "Don't be like my dog. It got lost and didn't even come home to tell me."

Tan Xiao: "..."

How could a lost dog come home?

Wait, did she just compare him to a dog?

-

The second time Ruan Er sees Tan Xiao is outside the bar's restroom.

A woman with a curvy figure is standing in front of him.

"Hey, handsome, can I get your WeChat?"

The man's voice drips with disdain. "Stay away from me. That cheap perfume is making my eyes hurt."

Ruan Er is astonished. Wow, even Duanmu Lei would have to admit that was smooth.

-

The third time Ruan Er sees Tan Xiao is at a get-together hosted by a friend.

While playing a game, Ruan Er draws a dare.
