Blurb:
1.
With the wedding alliance imminent, Chen Yiwan takes her sister's place as the hastily arranged substitute bride.
The ring can't be resized in time, so it's a size too big for her finger. It becomes a necklace instead, resting against her collarbone.
Her husband runs a conglomerate, wielding great power. He's usually cold and taciturn, and always busy with work.
Yet so many times, his cool gaze falls on the ring at her chest.
There's regret, remorse, and melancholy in his eyes.
The day they hear that her sister has returned, her husband tells her to take the ring off.
So that night, she removes it and places it on top of the divorce papers.
2.
A business marriage is based on mutual benefit. It makes no difference who the wife is.
But with their age gap between them, he naturally takes on extra responsibility and looks after his wife after they marry.
At first, his wife is wary and guarded.
Gradually, her warm tears soak into his chest.
Later, she bites his finger and tells him to go slower.
After carrying his wife from the bathtub back to bed, he watches her curl up in his arms.
He realizes the wife he brought home really is like a little cat.
And he's grown accustomed to playing the role of caretaker and disciplinarian.
Later, a friend tells him that it might be a niche kink.
Maybe it is.
But he doesn't mind. Through this, his wife has awakened something tender within him.
Chen Yiwan receives divorce papers that would give her a share of assets worth hundreds of billions.
At the same time, the necklace is gone, and a legendary diamond ring worth 380 million, sized to fit her finger, now sits on it.
Young as she is, she can't understand. She thinks the two things can't possibly appear at the same time.
Unable to make sense of it, she pushes open the door to her husband's study that night, dressed in a cotton-white nightgown, and asks, "Are we getting divorced?"
Her husband sits behind his desk and says, "Come in."
It isn't until midnight that Chen Yiwan is carried out of the study.
She has been taught that they aren't getting divorced. Their marriage is valid indefinitely.
