Pei Zhiyan's standards for his future wife were: gentle, sensible, considerate, and not difficult.
Shen Jiahe was practically born to be the opposite of everything on that list.
The Shen and Pei families had arranged a marriage between Shen Jiahe and Pei Zhiyan's nephew.
But Pei Zhiyan's nephew let them down, causing a huge scandal on the eve of the engagement.
The wedding still had to go ahead, so they hurriedly substituted Pei Zhiyan.
A nosy person asked Pei Zhiyan how he felt about Shen Jiahe.
He gave a four-word answer: "A business marriage."
Three months after the wedding, Pei Zhiyan made an unprecedented appearance with his new wife at Fashion Week, even lifting Shen Jiahe's gown in front of everyone.
After the show, reporters swarmed Pei Zhiyan to gossip.
Though he had never liked such events, Pei Zhiyan took the microphone.
A reporter, eager to stir things up, asked whether Shen Jiahe now met his standards for a wife.
Pei Zhiyan chuckled. Looking into the camera, he answered softly in front of tens of thousands of viewers:
"The final say belongs to Shen Jiahe."
"But Shen Jiahe is the standard for everything I want."
"I loved you too late, but luckily, it wasn't too late for our marriage."
