Following the old man's wishes, Cui Xiwen went to the renowned traditional Chinese medicine shop Yusheng Yuntang to meet a prospective marriage partner.

It was called a "meeting," but in truth, it was simply a match arranged by their parents.

The powerful heir of the Cui family was in no mood for it. The tinted windows of his car could not conceal the coldness in his phoenix eyes when he looked up.

It was the heart of winter. Yu Junyao wore a sweater in a matching color beneath her white lab coat. She stood calmly in front of the dark golden sandalwood medicine cabinet, carefully counting medicinal ingredients.

She was beautiful, and her serene temperament made her seem like a cool-faced jade Guanyin from a distance.

The scent of medicine was bitter and clean. Cui Xiwen seemed not to notice it, standing alone beneath the Yusheng Yuntang sign for a long time.

When he returned home that evening, Old Madam Cui saw that the jade bracelet prepared for her future granddaughter-in-law was still sitting untouched in its original place.

The old lady secretly worried that this "meeting" would come to nothing again, and hurried to question him about every detail.

Cui Xiwen washed his hands and ate at an unhurried pace. Only after finishing his meal did he speak, an unprecedented move: "I'll marry her."

As the ninth-generation successor to the Yu family's traditional medicine practice, Yu Junyao couldn't escape the custom of being pressured to marry and settle down.

When she saw Cui Xiwen, she furrowed her brow almost imperceptibly.

He was strikingly handsome and came from a wealthy family. Yu Junyao wanted nothing to do with a rich playboy like him.

She tried to hold back, but couldn't. Turning to her father, she asked, "Is there no one else?"
