[Secret crush | Mildly coercive love | A powerful man poaches her from her partner | A dangerously obsessive, flirtatious, carefree young gentleman | A beloved actress with touch starvation | A powerful man humbles himself for love]
Everyone knows Pei Jingyu is illustrious and peerlessly handsome, yet as untouchable as pure white snow atop a clear mountain stream.
Only Jiang Jiamao dares to provoke him, admire him, worship him, and hope to have him forever.
At first, the man is every inch a gentleman, treating her with courtesy as though she were nothing special.
Later, deep in the night as snow falls thickly, an expensive black car stops downstairs. Pei Jingyu comes to find her, holding an umbrella. The pregnancy test report in his arms is completely dry.
The man who has always stood above everyone else personally makes ginger tea for her. His long, slender fingers are pale as jade as he slips a diamond ring onto her finger and closes his hand around hers.
His voice is low and sensual as he announces, “We’re getting married.”
Pregnancy leaves Jiang Jiamao tossing and turning in discomfort. Knowing he sleeps lightly, she worries about disturbing him and urges him to rest in the next room.
Pei Jingyu has an important meeting tomorrow, but he merely lowers his eyes as if he hasn’t heard. His warm palm rests against her belly, circling it gently. “We’re married now. We should sleep in the same bed.”
-
Pei Jingyu is refined and extraordinary, a man of incomparable status. Everyone says he has no passion or desire. But after they marry and she becomes pregnant, she gradually discovers the addiction he keeps hidden from everyone else.
One night, the family driver takes Jiang Jiamao by mistake to a villa on the outskirts of the capital.
Red walls and yellow tiles, carved beams and sweeping eaves. Pear blossoms fill the courtyard beneath the hazy moonlight. She pushes open the door.
[From a young girl smiling by the window to a radiant, alluring bride] Every wall is covered with paintings and photographs of her.
She films art-house movies with an antique feel. He invests lavishly, spending a fortune, and gazes at them every day with possessive devotion.
The most striking photograph captures the full moon shining over the set after filming wraps. Jiang Jiamao wears a simple white dress, her hair pinned low, a misty softness about her. Across the distant crowd, she looks at him and smiles with contentment.
Jiang Jiamao gazes at the photo, her voice trembling. “When did I first appear in your eyes?”
He embraces her from behind, his voice hoarse. “Jia Jia, I fell for you long ago. I couldn’t help myself.”
-
Later, the man no longer restrains himself as he did during her pregnancy, keeping her so occupied she loses all sense of day and night.
Jiang Jiamao’s black hair spills over her pale back, and her damp nightgown barely covers her flushed, overheated skin. In his arms, she wrinkles her dainty nose. A red mark beneath her clothes makes her squirm. “I... think we should sleep apart.”
Pei Jingyu looks up, taking in every inch of her eager trembling, then kisses her until their lips are lost in their caresses.
The man presses down over her, his lips suspiciously wet. Lowering his eyes, he murmurs suggestively, “Is there any part of you... that can do without me?”
From then on, her touch starvation is incurable, and Pei Jingyu coaxes her into indulging it more and more, day and night.
*
Jiang Jiamao never imagined she would marry or get pregnant. It was Pei Jingyu’s thoughtful care and steadfast protection that gave her the courage to make any choice she wanted.
The man builds her a golden palace and spends a fortune on her, treasuring her as if she were a priceless jewel. He loves and cherishes her, supports and protects her at every turn, and spoils her rotten.
Just as the poem says, “The green peach was planted in heaven and nourished by dew; it is no ordinary flower.” Jiang Jiamao sits smiling in his lap as the fragrance of jasmine fills the room.
#Once you tend the little jasmine well, it will bloom in every season

Heads-up: A bittersweet, old-fashioned romance. Powerful man, weaker woman; she has a secret crush; five-year age gap. The male lead is no good guy, has little regard for morality, and is highly controlling. Both leads are sexually inexperienced. The male lead has no arranged-marriage partner or other female companions. No secondary couples.
★ Not angsty. More or less a fantasy about a bad man who forces his love on the woman secretly in love with him, written to indulge my personal tastes.
Please don't apply the fictional setup to real life. Many place names in the story are pseudonyms, and the characters are fictional.
Theme: Oppose surrogacy trafficking, uphold the dignity of life, and help women find the means to support themselves.
