● Eight-year age gap | Powerful man comes down to earth | Older man goes crazy

When her boyfriend cheats, Jiang Nan goes to a bar to gather evidence.

She had planned to end things with dignity, but he turns the blame around and accuses her instead.

As they struggle, a figure suddenly steps in front of her to shield her.

The man is tall and striking, with cool, refined features, like a pine tree standing in the snow.

Jiang Nan is startled. A form of address almost slips from her lips.

The newcomer is her uncle by marriage.

-

A legend is told in investment circles: Han Jiechuan, CEO of Rongyao Capital, saved a crumbling company in just three years, bringing it back to its peak and increasing its market value tenfold.

His story of living with the Jiang family in his youth is also a favorite topic of conversation.

By family convention, he has a niece surnamed Jiang, eight years younger than him.

He is extremely protective of her.

-

Nine years ago, when Jiang Nan learned Han Jiechuan was about to go abroad, she folded ninety-nine paper cranes by hand to send him off.

Nine years later, one of those cranes flew back to her.

She unfolded it along its creases. A line of writing appeared, graceful and elegant, its strokes full of force.

"Everyone who likes you can say so aloud."

"There's no reason I should be the only one who can't."

● The leads are not related by blood or marriage.

● The heroine has an ex-boyfriend, and the hero has a marriage prospect arranged by his family. Nothing physical happened with either of them. If that bothers you, please read with caution!

More details to be added if I think of any.

● Gentle heiress from Beijing's elite circles x suave tycoon from Hong Kong

1.

The year she first arrived in Hong Kong, Tang Zhijian thought she was nothing more than Liang Ciqing's beautiful mistress.

She had nowhere to go, so he gave her a mansion on an estate and became her most reliable support.

She wanted to make a home for herself in Hong Kong, so he planned and paved the way, painstakingly arranging everything for her.

He had always been impeccable.

But he had never once said the word love.

The day she decided to leave, he personally took her to the airport.

The man in the back seat rested with his eyes closed, his tone indifferent:

"I won't ask you to stay. Don't come back."

Tang Zhijian smiled calmly. "Mr. Liang, you have nothing to worry about."

The car door shut. In the silence, the veins stood out across the man's knuckles.

2.

Love was an illusion. Only a relationship based on mutual benefit could be trusted.

Back in Beijing, Tang Zhijian accepted an arranged marriage and began appearing everywhere with the young master of the Shen family.

At a banquet, Young Master Shen introduced his fiancee to a business partner.

Tang Zhijian pulled him aside. "...Do you know that your business partner is my ex-boyfriend?"

Young Master Shen scoffed. "So what? Beijing and Hong Kong are more than two thousand kilometers apart. Is he going to tie you up and drag you back?"

3.

On the agreed day to register their marriage, Tang Zhijian wore light, elegant makeup and a graceful white dress.

A car arrived to pick her up. She opened the door.

There was someone in the back seat, but it wasn't her fiance.

She cried out and stumbled backward, but the man caught her by the wrist.

He pulled her toward him, his breath scorching her ear.

"Why did you choose him?"

"What does he have that I don't?"

Liang Ciqing had always been cool and restrained. This was the first time she had seen his eyes turn red.

Tang Zhijian met his gaze. "Mr. Liang, you were the one who told me never to return to Hong Kong."

"I was wrong."

The man's Adam's apple bobbed. His hoarse voice was wrapped in desire.

On an early spring morning, a hazy mist clouded the car windows.

"Jianjian, the estate is waiting for its mistress."

"So am I."
