Radiant little princess x refined and elegant
When he reached marriageable age, photos of all the beautiful, eligible young ladies of Nancheng were laid out on a table for He Yanze to choose from.
He glanced at the portrait that someone had secretly slipped onto the table. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he said calmly, "I'll take her."
The He family never expected that the person he chose to marry would be Zhu Xingyao.

When Zhu Xingyao had nowhere else to turn, she asked He Yanze to marry her.
Everyone thought it would be nothing more than a marriage of convenience, yet she was exceptionally docile and obedient throughout their marriage. People around them teased the influential He Yanze for marrying such a well-behaved wife.
But He Yanze knew how good an actress she was. He gave her the most expensive jewelry, the most valuable clothes, and the most lucrative endorsements.
He pinched the woman's delicate cheek and said coolly,
"Do you think I can't tell you're pretending to like me?"
The fake tear on Zhu Xingyao's cheek froze in place.
He wiped it away and gazed at her with dark eyes. "So how long do you plan to keep up this act?"
Zhu Xingyao couldn't answer.
She won Best Actress.
He Yanze sent her a message to congratulate her.
She thought things between them had grown so strained that they would never be in touch again.
Until one rainy night.
The man got out of his car and stood before her, holding an umbrella. His voice was hoarse as he said,
"I fell into your trap, and I did it willingly."
"This time, are you sure you want to set a big fish like me free?"
The rainy night was hazy.
A gossip reporter snapped a romantic photo worthy of a movie scene.
By the car, they embraced and kissed, reluctant to part.
The man held the umbrella mostly over the woman.
The next day,
the photo shot to the top of the trending charts.
Everyone thought the two would handle the matter quietly.
Instead, that very day, He Yanze, a well-known power player in the industry, registered a Weibo account and publicly claimed his wife.
@He Yanze: My wife. @Zhu Xingyao
