Cheng Xueyi was twenty when she married Yu Zui.
At the time, she had been caught after running away from her arranged marriage and brought back to apologize. She insisted that she loved someone else and would marry no one but him.
The person she had claimed to love was Yu Zui, who had been visiting the Cheng family that day.
Yu Zui had taken charge of the Yu family at eighteen. Twelve years later, he held absolute power, yet he remained chaste and never got close to women.
Why would someone like him take a little girl's nonsense to heart?
Cheng Xueyi was certain Yu Zui would never marry her.
But that day, amid the silence of the packed hall, Yu Zui set down his teacup. His eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses were clear as water, and he asked with a gentle smile, "What did you just say, Yiyi?"
Cheng Xueyi braced herself and replied, "...That I'll marry no one but you."
Yu Zui thought for two seconds, then answered softly, "Every little girl's wish deserves to come true."
When she turned thirty, then forty, and at last grew white-haired,
every one of Cheng Xueyi's wishes had come true.
