Everyone in the wealthy elite knows that the Luo family's cherished young master was born frail and won't live past twenty.
“Who'd want to look after a sickly guy?” The moment the eldest young master of the Sheng family came of age, he called off their childhood betrothal without even meeting his intended.
Sheng Qin, the Sheng family's sole authority and head of Sheng Group, was the eldest young master's uncle. He personally came to apologize.
He met the young master of the Luo family his nephew had described as domineering, spoiled, and used to ordering everyone around.
Luo Mi sat in a wheelchair and slowly turned around. Fever had brought a flush to his cheeks, and he was as beautiful as a painting.
At a single glance, Sheng Qin was utterly captivated. The clamor of the world fell silent in an instant.
“It's all right.” Luo Mi's voice was pleasant as he signed his name on the agreement in neat, elegant handwriting.
When he handed back the pen, his pale knuckles accidentally brushed Sheng Qin's gunmetal cuff link. A tiny chime rang out, and his knuckles reddened.
Just as Sheng Qin was about to check on him, Luo Mi suddenly slumped limply into his arms, the ends of his hair brushing against Sheng Qin's ear.
The person in his arms was so light, as if he might drift away on the wind at any moment.
The family doctor cared for Luo Mi all afternoon before he finally woke. Seeing Sheng Qin sitting beside him, he looked terribly apologetic. “Mr. Sheng, I'm sorry.”
“Mr. Luo, if you don't mind,” Sheng Qin began, only to realize his voice was hoarse with worry, “please marry me.”
Luo Mi had been ill for so long that he rarely went out, but he knew the man before him was refined and austere, with a cool, noble air, and understood the power and charm he possessed.
He was at the perfect age to marry, yet countless men and women had been turned away by that cold, aloof face. No one had ever stirred his heart.
Luo Mi knew the man before him pitied him, but he didn't want his family to worry anymore. “I'll marry you.”
Later, the young master of the Luo family, whom doctors had said wouldn't live long, was lovingly cared for by the head of the Sheng family. He lived safely through one year after another, for a long, long time, blessed with peace year after year.
