Only You, Cherished Above All

[Clear-Headed, Resilient Actress * Cunning, Devoted Heir to a Conglomerate]

The summer of the third year after Shen Xiangnuan was brought back to the Shen family, her father threw her a lavish coming-of-age party.

That night, dressed in a custom-made, pale blue tulle princess gown lavishly embroidered with diamonds, Xiangnuan came face-to-face with the newly appointed head of the Sheng family. Her stepmother stood in her way, holding her younger sister's hand, and only then did Xiangnuan realize she wasn't the star of the party.

The Shen family's eldest daughter only seemed to live a glamorous life. It was all a show her father and stepmother put on for outsiders. From afar, Shen Xiangnuan watched the man before her command the attention of everyone around him.

She thought a man like him would never have anything to do with her. But five summers later, Sheng Yuzhou called her.

"Miss Shen, how about dating me?"

Sheng Yuzhou, the head of the Sheng Group in Jing City, was handsome and refined, yet cold and ruthless in his dealings, and famously uninterested in women.

That summer, gossip reporters photographed a female celebrity repeatedly visiting Sheng Yuzhou's mansion. Rumors about him spread everywhere, but no one dared approach him for an interview.

No one expected that, backstage at the recording of a music show, an audience member would snap a photo of Sheng Yuzhou bringing a pair of sneakers himself and bending down to help rising singer Shen Xiangnuan take off her high heels.

The next day, headlines across Beicheng were dominated by the trending topics, "Sheng Group CEO Suspected of Being Rising Singer Shen Xiangnuan's Powerful Backer" and "Shen Xiangnuan's Relationship."

Sheng Yuzhou, who had never cared for entertainment news, made an unprecedented appearance on social media. Under the "Shen Xiangnuan's Relationship" tag, he posted a photo from the event, with the ring on his left ring finger prominently in view.

Shen Xiangnuan thought her relationship with Sheng Yuzhou was nothing more than a transaction. Even when they became inseparable, she was ready to walk away at any moment.

But the longer they were together, the more intimate Sheng Yuzhou became. He wished her good morning whenever she went out, and personally picked her up when she got home late after recording a show.

He even had to hold her every night. Annoyed, she pushed him away. "Sheng Yuzhou, can't you stay at least three feet away from me?"

Rather than backing off, Sheng Yuzhou held her even tighter from behind. "Nuannuan, do you not love me anymore?"

Helpless, Shen Xiangnuan turned around to comfort him. Sheng Yuzhou took the opportunity to push his luck. "At your next concert, I want a seat in the guest section."

The moment he met her, he knew that the love he would give her in this life would be hers alone.
