My Mom Was the Beloved White Moonlight of a Period Drama

[Main story complete. Gentle single mom x ruthless live-in son-in-law big shot | rekindled love | raising a child | food | everyday life]

Lin Meiyan was gentle, beautiful, and mild-mannered. She ran a little restaurant while raising her five-year-old daughter, and was the single mother everyone eagerly tried to set up with someone.

Lin Meiyan just smiled and let it go.

Then her daughter was kidnapped, and her happy life suddenly fell apart. With nowhere else to turn, she remembered what an old sent-down youth had once told her.

The boyfriend she'd left behind when she returned to the city had since become a major figure in Jiangcheng.

Late that night, Lin Meiyan dialed a number she had never once called in all the years since. He picked up instantly. Her voice trembling, she said, “Yu Jianghai, my daughter is missing.”

Yu Jianghai was born into an illustrious family. He was extraordinarily handsome and a natural-born favorite of the heavens.

Then, in a single turn of fate, he fell into the mud and endured every hardship.

After his name was cleared, his keen eye and ruthless methods made him the head of Jianghai Properties within just a few years. In Jiangcheng, he was the kind of eligible bachelor no one could hope to reach.

He had everything going for him, except that he never spoke of the years he had been sent away, and avoided women and marriage like the plague.

Everyone thought he had forsaken love and was destined to be alone.

Until one late night, he received a phone call. Before long, everyone in Jiangcheng knew that the daughter of Jianghai Properties' owner had gone missing.

After her daughter was found, Lin Meiyan agreed to go on a matchmaking date.

At the time...

Her match was a state-owned enterprise worker in his thirties, a widower with a son.

Lin Meiyan said, “I won't marry into a family. I'll only take a husband who marries into mine.”

He left, swearing under his breath.

Lin Meiyan sighed, closed her matchmaking notebook, and turned to leave. Suddenly, the formidable man at the next table grabbed her wrist.

He lowered his eyes, his voice hoarse. “I won't take a wife. I'll marry into your family.”

“Will you... have me?”

*

Years later, when their group of former sent-down youths reunited, a friend stood up for Yu Jianghai. “She left you behind and went back to the city. How are you going to get back at her?”

Yu Jianghai replied, “I'll marry into her family.”

A gentle, radiant beauty who is a strong-willed single mom x a ruthless big shot who has plotted for years to win her heart and marry into her family
