·A spoiled, coquettish troublemaker × a steady, old-fashioned daddy type·

·Older man | Wealthy-family life | Marriage before love

Hong Kong property tycoon Yi Kunshan has four lovely daughters. As the eldest, Yi Siling is supposed to be sensible and mature, but she’s spoiled to the core, and her three younger sisters indulge her without limits.

Hong Kong media have mixed opinions of her, calling her a beauty who gets away with anything and a reckless spender.

The day Yi Siling got married, the venue was packed with guests and the celebration was grand. Luxury cars clogged the streets, and Hong Kong media hailed it as the “wedding of the century.”

But just two months before the wedding, she didn’t even know what her fiancé looked like. All she knew was that he was a stuffy, boring, clueless outsider, six years older than her!

The Xie family is one of Beijing’s top aristocratic families. As the third-generation leader of the family, Xie Xunzhi is refined, composed, and dignified, earning praise from all sides.

He never expected his parents to choose him a girl who was spoiled in every way. No matter. They would treat each other with respect.

Later, he got a taste for it, and their polite, respectful marriage became a joke.

Yi Siling’s favorite thing after marriage was to tease Xie Xunzhi. Looking at the serious, proper man before her, she sighed. “Xie Xunzhi, I liked you better before, when you ignored me and wouldn’t sleep with me. So cool!”

Xie Xunzhi stopped working and gazed gently at his new wife. “I’ve already ordered the yacht you wanted. I’ll go with you to the Paris fashion shows this season. If you like something, buy it. All right?”

“What do I have to do in return?”

“Come here and give me a kiss.”

Yi Siling fell silent, remembering the nightgown he had torn last night. Her face flushed slightly. Reluctantly, she moved over and sat on his lap.

[Reader’s guide and important content notes, please read!]

·Both inexperienced | Six-year age gap | Ensemble cast | Cozy daily life | Slow burn | Sweet, swoony, and satisfying

·The heroine has a disposable ex-boyfriend; the hero is devoted and virtuous (readers who only like the hero, especially in an extreme way, may want to skip this; he loves her more)

·Both come from wealthy families; marriage before love, evenly matched, and lots of affection ahead!

·The heroine is doted on by everyone. She’s coquettish, proud, adorable, and conspicuous, but not naive. She doesn’t rely on the hero for her life or career; she’s independent, clearheaded, and always shines (not a strong-independent-female-lead story!)

·The hero spoils the heroine throughout. The wedding preparations are fully depicted, and she pursues her career later on. Pregnancy included! Readers who don’t enjoy everyday-life stories, please skip!

·Over-the-top romantic fantasy, extravagance, and outrageous wealth ahead!
