"Love surges like the tide, and I will always bow my head to you."
*A gentle yet powerful second male lead rises to the top, with exclusive devotion.
Song Li entered the Zhou family at twelve and spent eight years trailing Zhou Qiyu like a little shadow.
Whenever he played basketball, Song Li would wait with a bottle of water from the start of the game to the end.
When he got into fights, Song Li cleaned his wounds.
Every apology letter and love letter he wrote was penned by Song Li.
The day Zhou Qiyu got his heart broken, he shouted at Song Li:
"Get lost! Can't you stay the hell away from me? Don't think that just because my dad likes you, you can marry me. Dream on!"
This time, Song Li did exactly as she was told. She left, and she went far away!
-
Everyone in their circle laughed at Zhou Qiyu's little sidekick for getting dumped. Song Li was once again left homeless.
That day, the first snow began to fall. Song Li sat huddled with her knees in her arms outside a tiny convenience store. A young man in a dark coat hurried toward her beneath a black umbrella.
After a long hesitation, he finally spoke:
"Come with me. I'll never leave you behind!"

The Shen family was known throughout Ningcheng for its strict upbringing, and Shen Xici was its most outstanding child. He had refinement etched into his very bones.
He never got into fights or dated too young, and he was always composed and humble.
At school, he topped the honor roll. After entering the workforce, he became an industry-leading rising star.
Everyone thought Shen Xici followed the rules and lived like a PowerPoint presentation, until he defied his family's opposition and registered his marriage to an obscure girl.
Only then did everyone realize that Shen Xici wasn't so well-behaved after all.
-
Later on.
When Zhou Qiyu saw Song Li again, her pale skin showed through the black gauze of her dress, bewitching him more than wine. The once rebellious young man swallowed his pride and stepped forward to apologize:
"Lili, I was wrong."
At that moment, the usually refined and courteous Shen Xici kicked him mercilessly to the ground:
"Don't touch my wife. You're filthy!"
Song Li nestled against Shen Xici like a little bird, her dazzling smile almost painful to look at.
Zhou Qiyu was consumed with regret.
-
After Song Li and Shen Xici made their marriage public, everyone thought she wouldn't last long in the strict Shen household.
That was until paparazzi photographed Shen Xici carrying his pampered wife out of a car and into a mansion worth two billion yuan.
Everyone grew jealous all over again. Strict rules were nothing to worry about when he could simply keep a beauty in a golden cage.
-
Shen Xici: With me here, you don't need to follow any rules. Just be yourself.
Shen Xici: Even if nobody else cares about you, to me, you're a treasure worth searching the whole city for.
