Zhou Jingchu is the illegitimate son born years ago to the wealthy Zhou Kairong and a caregiver at a nursing home. His parentage has been the subject of gossip since he was a child.
He has never met his mother, and his father has never been particularly affectionate. For years, he has been an outsider in the Zhou family, keeping to himself with a cool, aloof personality. At least he has a handsome face.
Now that he has reached the age to marry, the Zhou family plans to use him for a political marriage. After raising him for twenty-two years, it's finally time to get some value out of him.
His future spouse is soon decided.
Zhou Jingchu's prospective fiance is a playboy, flirtatious and debauched. He can't stand Zhou Jingchu's haughty air, but at least he likes his face.
The engagement is about to be arranged, but an accident leads Zhou Jingchu to offend Xie Nian, a notorious rich young heir in the city.
At first sight, Xie Nian is also taken with his looks. He likes what he sees and announces that he intends to pluck this untouchable flower from its lofty peak.
The Xie family is an eminent old-money clan, one that neither the Zhou family nor the prospective groom's family dares to offend.
In the end, the engagement goes through, but the groom is now Xie Nian.
Zhou Jingchu has no power to refuse.
Whether he wants this marriage or not, he has to go through with it.

An apology to the readers who have already saved this. It's been a while, and my inspiration has changed. The original idea for this upcoming story was simply to write a cool beauty, and I've since reworked the central premise around that.
The details may still change. The style will lean toward a love war, if you know what I mean. I may add a transmigrate into a book or characters in the book becoming self-aware premise.
The top's name is provisional too. I really can't think of a good one. Never mind, he's not important. I'll decide later. Little Zhou will remain a cool, aloof beauty.
Theme: Love takes courage and perseverance
