There Is No Spring Here

As the most doted-on heiress in her social circle, Wen Lingshuang has had everything go her way her whole life. That is, until she learns one day that she's expected to marry into the Jiang family. It feels like the sky has fallen. Half an hour ago, she'd been badmouthing the Jiangs at a party.

Jiang An is a top finance mogul known for his mastery of power plays and strategic planning. A ruthless man who climbed from illegitimate son to the pinnacle of power, he has an exquisitely handsome, cool, and ascetic appearance, with deep-set eyes, but never gives anyone a warm reception. The first time he meets Wen Lingshuang, he stands in the glow of the setting sun, studying her reddened ears through the brilliant sunset clouds. He smiles faintly and asks, "Miss Wen, do your ears turn red whenever you get nervous?"

Wen Lingshuang takes a deep breath. "Yes!"

Then, unwilling to back down, she adds, "What's it to you?"

It's just a matter of tormenting each other after marriage. No big deal!

After the wedding.

"First, whenever I say you're wrong, you have to admit it, whether you are or not! Second, you can't run away when we argue. If we're going to fight, we fight it out!" Wen Lingshuang says, hands on her hips, glaring fiercely at Jiang An. "Got it!?"

Everyone says Wen Lingshuang is spoiled, overbearing, and flamboyant to the extreme.

Looking at her, Jiang An's lips curl into a smile. "Got it. But does Mrs. Jiang like curling up in my arms when she's angry?"

He lowers his voice. "If you admit you're acting cute, I'll buy you the yacht you want."

Wen Lingshuang blinks, leans forward, and gives his thin lips a little kiss. "I want three!"
