In 3045, Zhou Chuanhao is the world's richest person. The second daughter of Zhou Chuanying, she is an androgynous Alpha who disguises herself as a man. She is twelve years old. At a family gathering, her eldest brother, younger sister, and little brother are all there too. Her father has called this gathering not only to discuss business, but also to find Zhou Chuanhao a fiancee. In fact, her fiancee is her father's business partner's close friend, her cousin, Wu Jieya. Their parents are all seated together as well.
Zhou Chuanhao casually opens a section of the financial newspaper. Just then, her eldest brother pats her on the shoulder and says, "Second Brother, Dad is holding this engagement banquet especially for you. Don't let us down, okay? Take a look at your future sister-in-law. She's so pretty! Don't disappoint her. Go on!"
As he speaks, he gently nudges her forward, as if to encourage her. She walks up, and suddenly sees the little girl in front of her. She's only eleven. Looking helpless, she glances at Zhou Chuanhao with a hint of fear and shyness, then lowers her head.
Behind Zhou Chuanhao, her third brother and little sister cheerfully chime in, patting her on the shoulder. Her sister adds softly, "Second Brother, you have to seize your chance with your future wife." Then she says, "That's right, Second Brother. Don't chicken out, go for it! Ugh, don't touch my head! You'll pay for that later. Look, your future wife's blushing. So sweet! But when will I grow up and present as an Omega, so I can marry someone I love?"
Hearing this, Zhou Chuanhao frowns and looks up at her, then lightly taps her forehead with a finger, chiding the bold girl. Her eyes are full of helplessness as she shakes her head. "Little Sister, you're still young. You'll understand when you grow up. Don't pick up bad habits from your third brother, okay?"
As she says this, she puts down the newspaper. When she looks up again, her androgynous face is set in a cold, piercing stare fixed firmly on Third Brother. He looks back at her, flustered. Seeing the intense focus in Second Brother's eyes, he suddenly feels uneasy. He thinks, I haven't done anything wrong today, have I? What's with Second Brother? Why is she staring at me? Yikes! That look is terrifying. Is she about to kill me? No, I have to break this awkward silence.
Just then, their fifty-six-year-old father appears and begins introducing the family of three. Shen Qingyao gives him an exasperated glance, urging him to hurry up so she can talk with Wu Zhengxiong's wife and daughter and get a sense of how they feel about this sudden engagement banquet. She also wants to see how his daughter feels about her son. Naturally, after catching that look, Zhou's father dutifully starts introducing Wu Jieya and her family.
He says warmly, "Chuanhao, come over and meet your cousin. She's the daughter of my longtime friend, my sworn brother. Her name is Jieya. Come on over! Don't just stand there. She's going to be your fiancee from now on! And today's banquet is your engagement party."
As he speaks, he gestures for her to come over. Zhou Chuanhao sets down the newspaper again, straightens her features, and walks over slowly. She seems reluctant, thinking that she's still young and this girl is even younger than she is. That makes her even less willing. The little girl looks up at someone who is 170 centimeters tall. When Zhou Chuanhao suddenly approaches, she feels a little nervous. She slowly raises her head, and the face before her comes closer and closer. Her heart pounds. The tips of her ears have already turned red, betraying her feelings. At a loss, she watches the person draw nearer, unable to do anything. Her face flushes and her heart races, leaving her overwhelmed.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Chuanhao looks at her gently and says, "Hello, Cousin. My... my fiancee. You look so tiny. You just started middle school, right? Hello, I'm Zhou Chuanhao. Chuan as in 'legend,' Zhou as in Duke Zhou, and Hao as in 'pen, sword, and ink.' What's your name? I'm sure it's lovely too!"
The already-shy girl looks up again at Zhou Chuanhao's handsome features, but can't manage a complete sentence. Stammering, she says, "H-hello, Cousin. I... I'm Wu... Jieya. I'm a science and engineering undergraduate, a middle school student. I haven't chosen my major or taken any professional courses yet. Um, today my parents dragged me here against my will. I'm only eleven. Because my grades are good, I skipped ahead to middle school. But, Cousin, you're so tall! Oh, my head... It hurts so much."
As she speaks, tears well up in her eyes, and then suddenly spill down her cheeks. She looks ready to burst into tears. She looks at Zhou Chuanhao, hoping for some sympathy and for her to let her sit on the sofa while they wait for the engagement and wedding arrangements. At the same time, the decorations in the room on this floor of the company catch her eye. The place is so lavish, and the decor looks like it cost a fortune! She can't help marveling at it. Now she doesn't regret letting her parents bring her here.
Their parents are still discussing the marriage and haven't noticed that the children have started chatting among themselves.
