Marriage alliance | Romance after marriage | Eight-year age gap | Size difference | Instinctive attraction
Song Jiangyue was Kyoto's most dazzling red rose: unconventional and lavish with money, with a striking beauty that made countless people throw themselves at her feet.
She moved through one glittering social scene after another, living in extravagant abandon. No one tried to control her, and no one dared.
Until one day, Miss Song's luck ran out.
Before she even stepped into the banquet hall, someone grabbed her by the wrist. With a gentle face and an air that brooked no refusal, he ushered the stunned Song Jiangyue into a car.
Everyone inside watched it happen in astonishment. Once they recalled the man's face, a wave of shock swept through them.
That man was Fu Guanlan, the head of Hong Kong Island's Fu family, and Song Jiangyue's fiancé.

Fu Guanlan was the head of Hong Kong Island's most powerful and prestigious family. He was known for his ruthless methods, though he rarely appeared in public. But what people loved to gossip about most was his refined, distinguished good looks.
After the two married, Song Jiangyue belatedly discovered the mask behind Fu Guanlan's gentle, humble demeanor.
His cravings in certain areas were so intense they bordered on the pathological.
Time and again, he wore her out until nearly dawn.
Song Jiangyue couldn't take it anymore. She fled back to Kyoto in the middle of the night, only for entertainment gossip outlets to catch a photo of her covered in marks.
In an instant, rumors that the Fu and Song families' marriage was in crisis, and that Fu Guanlan might be abusing her, dominated the trending charts for days.
Then, on a rainy night, the man flew from Hong Kong Island to Kyoto and knocked on her door in the middle of the night.
He was gentle, polite, and impeccably mannered, but his usually crisp suit was wrinkled. "If you don't like it, how about we do it less often?"
Song Jiangyue gave a coquettish little huff. "You have to agree to three rules. You can't be so insatiable."
Fu Guanlan lowered his head with a soft laugh. "Whatever you say."
The next day, Song Jiangyue posted a photo of them together, setting off a storm across the internet.
The man in the photo wore silver-rimmed glasses and was warming up the morning tea. Perhaps he'd noticed he was being photographed. He turned to look at her, his gaze gentle, a smile at the corner of his lips and tender affection in his eyes.
Song Jiangyue captioned it: No marital crisis. We're very much in love.
* Both leads are sexually inexperienced and have no romantic history, in body or heart.
* A marriage-first, love-later story about a top-tier wealthy family. The male lead adores the female lead, who enjoys a smooth, pampered life with him forever.
* As the blurb says, the male lead is a little troubled and isn't a perfect character.
