Xie Zhitang is the most doted-on young lady in the Xie family, raised in comfort and indulged since childhood.
What she never expected was that one day her least-favored younger sister would frame her into marrying Li Jinghang.
The first night of their marriage.
The man had just finished entertaining the guests. Standing in the vast living room, he watched his new wife across from him and coolly straightened his cuffs.
"Is marrying me such a hardship?"
Xie Zhitang looked up, her eyes slightly red.
But Li Jinghang knew she was putting on an act.
The Xie family's young lady was famously spoiled and difficult to deal with. Everyone knew her temper was bad.
After the hot-tempered young lady married Li Jinghang, the youngest and most handsome tycoon in Beicheng's business circles, people all said her days were sure to be miserable.
Li Jinghang was known for his aloof nature. Though his features were refined and handsome, his cold demeanor had driven away many society ladies who tried to win his affections.
And since Xie Zhitang frequently appeared in public after the wedding, taking every opportunity to act in ads and dramas, people in their circle joked that the young lady had to earn her own living expenses.
Just as they were getting ready to enjoy the show, a photo from a gossip outlet on a film set began circulating:
A tall, slender man was kneeling on one knee to help a woman into her high heels, his expression gentle and focused. They looked utterly in love.
But Xie Zhitang had made plenty of enemies in their circle, so rumors were inevitable.
One day, while they were out to eat, a friend from their circle asked for details.
Li Jinghang smiled faintly and showed off the gleaming wedding ring on his left ring finger.
"My wife was raised in comfort. Please be patient with her."
But when he got home, the notoriously high-maintenance Mrs. Li was nowhere to be found.
In the middle of the night, Li Jinghang drove over to his mother-in-law's place and brought his wife home.
Xie Zhitang guiltily avoided the man beside her, but the next moment he pulled her onto his lap and kissed her tenderly.
The man sighed softly, seeming helpless.
"If you leave me, who will fill your rooms with flowers, buy you the most expensive sports cars, let you pick whichever villa you like, and even give you the stars and the moon if you ask?"
"Even after all that, you still aren't satisfied?"
That night, he still managed to coax Xie Zhitang around with his own tricks.
But somehow the story got out, and another item was added to her list of scandals.
The latest topic of gossip over tea in Beicheng was that Mrs. Li had run away from home in the middle of the night, spoiled and willful as ever.
Rumors spread fast.
Helpless, Li Jinghang had to soothe his wife again, so he posted on his social media:
"Such a drama queen."
"I spoiled her."
In other words, the Beicheng tycoon was perfectly happy to indulge her.
Everyone who saw the post: ...!!
So the rumors that the couple were unhappy together had all been false.
