Novel blurb:
Arranged marriages between wealthy families are nothing new in their circles, but Shen Li is a cripple with a disability. How could she possibly be a match for Wen Qinghuai, the eldest son of Nancheng's most powerful family?
Rumor has it Wen Qinghuai once loved an ex so deeply they nearly made it to the altar. She was the famous white rose of their social circle.
The Shen family is known for its strict values, and Shen Li is especially famous for being a well-behaved young lady.
The rumors sent the whole city into an uproar.
No one approved of the match.
Wen Qinghuai had no choice but to meet Shen Li, so he did out of courtesy. On the day they first met, Shen Li wore a white dress, her hair perfectly styled, her expression gentle, but they had little to talk about.
"Miss Shen, we're not right for each other."
Wen Qinghuai gallantly walked her home and said this as they parted.
Shen Li nodded and smiled. "All right." Two little dimples appeared at the corners of her lips.
Later, at a gathering of the elite, she attended with another man.
He heard that the man planned to propose to her at the party that evening.
On her way to the restroom, he strode up, grabbed her, and pinned her against the wall. His knuckles went white, his voice tight. "Are you choosing him or me?"
Shen Li turned her head, her profile cool and indifferent. "Mr. Wen, you said we weren't right for each other."
The man chuckled softly and leaned close, whispering seductively in her ear. "Miss Shen, didn't we put that question to the test that night?"
Shen Li looked up, her snow-white face turning completely red.
