Radiant and spoiled heroine x powerful, high-status hero / age gap / intense push and pull
Little princess x big shot of the Capital Circle
1.
Ming Xi, the little princess of the Ming family, posted a photo of her marriage certificate on her social media.
But the person she married wasn't Qin Yiming, the man she'd been entangled with for nearly two years.
Because that day, Qin Yiming was overseas keeping his ex-girlfriend company.
Quite a few people thought Ming Xi had done it to spite Qin Yiming. Even Qin Yiming himself believed it. Regretting it deeply, he called her. "Xixi, let's make up..."
Before he could finish, a lazy, satisfied male voice interrupted him. "My wife can't come to the phone right now."

After announcing her marriage, Ming Xi went silent. Worried, her childhood friend went to her house, only to find Qin Yan opening the door.
Qin Yan, head of the Qin family, was famously low-key and mysterious, decisive and ruthless, and utterly beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Of course, he also had another identity: Qin Yiming's uncle.
Seeing Qin Yan's cool, dignified face, Ming Xi's friend was stunned on the spot.
The next second, a pair of fair, delicate hands wrapped around Qin Yan's waist from behind. His loose sleeve slipped down to his elbow, revealing faint red marks on his pale forearm.
"Who's there?" A soft, coquettish voice sounded a little drowsy.
His long-fingered hand covered hers and gently stroked it. Qin Yan's voice was full of affection. "Darling, your friend is here."
Her friend was shocked. "You actually used Mr. Qin as a stand-in! If he finds out the truth, even Uncle Ming won't be able to protect you!"
Ming Xi glanced at the man busy in the kitchen. "Could it be that Qin Yiming is the stand-in?"

On the day she came of age, Ming Xi confessed her feelings to Qin Yan, but he rejected her.
He said, "Xixi, you're still young. Maybe what you feel for me is just admiration."
After that, the proud little princess never spoke to him again.
Later, when Qin Yan saw Ming Xi loop her arm through Qin Yiming's and call him "Uncle" with a radiant smile, he, who had always been aloof and restrained, experienced overwhelming jealousy for the first time.
Qin Yan thought that even if Ming Xi only admired him, it didn't matter. He would teach her himself how to love him.

The one he raised and cherished should belong to him.
