Shen Yuanhe had never felt that her life was so dramatic:
1. Her identity as the Shen family's eldest daughter was fake. She had been adopted.
2. Her childhood sweetheart wanted to break off their engagement and marry the real Shen heiress instead.
Before anyone in their circle could laugh at her fall from grace, news suddenly broke that she had registered her marriage with Fu Yuanshen, the head of the Fu family.
Rumors spread in every direction.
Some even claimed Shen Yuanhe couldn't accept being dumped by her childhood sweetheart, so she had borrowed his uncle's name to save face.
Who didn't know of Fu Yuanshen, the young head of the prestigious Fu family? He was ruthless and autocratic, and kept his distance from women.
Why would he be interested in a fallen internet celebrity?
Just as everyone was waiting to laugh at her, a photo quietly leaked.
In the photo, Shen Yuanhe stood in a pool of light and shadow. Beside her, Fu Yuanshen, usually so cool and aloof, looked at her with endless patience and tenderness as he held an umbrella over her.
On the ring finger gripping the cold metal handle, the wedding band gleamed.
Everything was settled.
As soon as the hired paparazzi left, the apparently loving couple immediately put some distance between them.
The soft figure nestled in his arms had pulled away. Fu Yuanshen's eyes were calm as he said, "Don't get too deep into the role."
Shen Yuanhe was brushing the raindrops off herself. At his words, she replied, "Don't worry. I'm not interested in anyone six years older than me."
His deep-set eyes turned toward her, bringing an invisible pressure with them.
Realizing she'd said what she really thought, Shen Yuanhe remembered that she needed his help. She handed him a bag of wedding candy and acted affectionate. "Happy wedding, hus-band."
"..."
After the wedding, Fu Yuanshen and Shen Yuanhe were rarely seen together. Some even speculated that their marriage was just for show and that they had already divorced.
After an event one day, the PR team spotted a personal question in the interview, "Is there anything you'd like to say to your partner?" They were about to cut it, but Shen Yuanhe stopped them.
At the manager's puzzled look, Shen Yuanhe casually raised a hand to cover her swollen, red lips and called over a makeup artist for a touch-up.
After the interview, someone picked her up and carried her toward a room.
"Didn't I take good enough care of you?"
Shen Yuanhe's answer was swallowed by the turbulent night, dissolving into incoherence.
"No..."
Fu Yuanshen refused to let it go. "Then why did you tell them I was rough?"
She bit her lip and forced out a sentence. "You call this gentle?"
The moment she finished speaking, his vibrating chest and clear, low laugh answered her.
He leaned down, clasped her wrist, and drew her toward him.
"I'm six years older than you, after all. I was worried you'd get bored."
"..."
His handsome face and warm breath enveloped her at close range. "Do you like it?"
