[Marry first, love later | The male lead gets hooked | One-on-one, both are virgins]

-

When Jin Hai's richest man, Wen Shuzhi, turned sixty, he suddenly announced his divorce from his first wife. He also had a young, sweet lover by his side, and doted on her, giving her whatever she wanted.

The wealthy elite's gossip always revolved around this young lover. They wondered what made her so special that she had Bewn Shuzhi, a man who had seen it all, completely under her spell.

Yet less than six months later, the richest man died suddenly. Everyone thought the young lover's good days had finally come to an end, but then news spread that she was marrying the tycoon's eldest son.

The wealthy elite were thrown into an uproar.

-

Before Wen Shuzhi died, he left a will granting all his assets to his eldest son, Wen Chiqian, with one condition:

He had to marry Tang Rou for the will to take effect.

Wen Chiqian was born a favored son of heaven. He was aloof by nature and known for keeping himself pure, never giving anyone a reason to gossip.

To ensure he got the inheritance, his mother, Zhuang Yaxin, personally arranged the marriage.

The day they signed a one-year marriage contract, he said, "I hope Miss Tang will honor the contract."

Outside, rain poured down. The man's expression was detached, and his pale fingers pushed the contract in front of her. He pulled his hand away without lingering for even half a second.

Tang Rou heard her own calm voice say, "Of course."

This marriage was a farce that would end as soon as it began. Tang Rou knew that well and never entertained any fantasies. She only had to wait until Wen Chiqian fully inherited the family business, then she could take the money and leave.

But when she started preparing to leave, the man who had treated her with cold indifference tore the divorce agreement to shreds.

He said coldly, "You slept with me and then you're leaving. Tang Rou, you really have no heart."

Tang Rou: "..."

-His love for her grew wild in the pitch-black night.

-His heart was slow to stir, but fortunately, it wasn't too late.

The gentle and tender beauty Tang x the pampered heir of a prominent family who gets jealous at the drop of a hat

P.S. The heroine did not marry the male lead's father, nor did she have any kind of physical relationship with him. Rumors stop with the wise.

Reader's Guide:

1. Angsty drama, one-on-one, both are virgins.

2. The heroine is the most beautiful and adored by all, but not in the traditional everyone-falls-for-her way. Lots of potential triggers, so read with care.

3. This is not a strong, independent heroine story. All the main characters have both strengths and flaws.

4. I've finally settled on this version of the blurb, haha. (From someone with a serious case of indecisiveness.)

Theme: I hope your eyes can see past the world's conventions and love her.
