“Steady” and mature × cautious and “well-behaved” | Possessive older man × dutiful young woman | Marriage before love | Age gap
Yu Nianying was adopted by the Fu family of the capital when she was three.
The impoverished girl was suddenly given a family background everyone envied, and a seemingly perfect older brother.
During the eighteen years she grew up in the Fu household, Fu Xunyuan was beyond reproach.
He personally arranged her daily needs, took care of every detail of her life, looked after her when she was sick, and kept her company when she felt lonely and upset.
He even supported her acting career with everything he had, despite the upper-class circles looking down on it, simply because it was what she loved. He became her backing.
Fu Xunyuan was there for every moment of Yu Nianying's growth.
Until the moment she wanted to leave him.

Fu Xunyuan held back her application to study abroad, dragged her off to register their marriage, shut the heavy bedroom door, and took away the privilege of being spoiled unconditionally.
“You can't cook, you don't know what things should cost, and you're so picky and delicate that the slightest bad meal gives you a stomachache. When you're sick, you can't sleep unless I'm holding you. You need me to help you put on anything complicated. Sweetheart, how are you going to live without me?”
His scorching fingertips stroked the smooth, trembling softness beneath his hand. The man lingered greedily, his eyes seeming both self-mocking and forlorn. He sighed softly. “Since you don't like me giving you everything you ask for, from now on, you'll have to trade for it.”
Only then did Yu Nianying finally understand how much unspeakable darkness was hidden in the gaze of the man who had always been by her side.
He could spoil her endlessly and give her everything she asked for. He could even tolerate her leaving his side for a little while.
He had only one demand of her.
She had to love him too.
