Sour Lychee [Age Gap]

Shy and timid x restrained yet seductive

Love after an arranged marriage / ten-year age gap / visual impairment that later recovers

[New version of the synopsis coming soon]

The Shen and Jiang families had been close for generations. Their elders had agreed that the eldest son and eldest daughter of the third generation would marry.

The Shen family's eldest grandson, Shen Shaoyu, was a talented young man, while the Jiang family's eldest granddaughter, Jiang Sicheng, was beautiful and poised. Outsiders all assumed the two would be matched, until a baby-swapping fiasco came to light in the Jiang family. Jiang Sicheng was not the Jiang family's real daughter.

The true heiress was found and brought home. She was timid by nature and blind.

At the engagement banquet, in the lounge, Shen Shaoyu blew a ring of smoke in Jiang Zhili's face. With a roguish, spoiled grin, he said, "I'm not marrying a blind girl. I'll call off the engagement in a minute. Be good and do as I say, understand?"

The smoke made her eyes stream with tears. Jiang Zhili held her back straight as she stumbled away.

Behind her, Shen Shaoyu and the others burst out laughing.

Jiang Zhili fled into a random room. A faint tea fragrance drifted through the air. Frowning, she roughly wiped the tears from beneath her eyes, anger clogging her chest.

Then a deep, pleasant voice broke the silence. "Why are you crying?"

Just that voice alone gave her a powerful sense of safety and presence.

The measured, cool authority in his voice felt familiar to her.

Jiang Zhili summoned her courage. Her voice still trembled as she asked, "Are you more impressive than the Shen family's eldest grandson?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Could you..." She bit down on her lower lip. "Could you be my boyfriend?"

At the engagement banquet, before Shen Shaoyu could say a word, the little blind girl appeared, walking down the stairs with his uncle on her arm.

"I can't get engaged to you, because there's already someone I like." Jiang Zhili tightened her grip on his sleeve. Her voice wasn't loud, but everyone heard her clearly. "This is my boyfriend."

Her soft words shocked everyone present.

Shen Yu let her hold on to him, looking perfectly at ease as he surveyed everyone in the room. He didn't deny it.

Staring at the bizarre pair, Shen Shaoyu stammered in disbelief, "J-Jiang Zhili, do you know who he is?!"

"Shen Shaoyu, what happened to the manners your family taught you?" His voice was cool and commanding, his gaze calm and disdainful. "Call me Uncle."

Jiang Zhili, standing beside him, quietly widened her eyes. Her hand on his arm trembled.

Oh no, she'd picked the wrong person for her last-minute acting gig!
