01/

Zhao Yuzhou is the most untouchable flower on a high peak in the capital.

Born with a cold, unfeeling nature, he's like a thousand-year-old tree that never blossoms, and a formidable demon hard to provoke.

He has always kept a low profile and never put a foot wrong.

His only stain is that one winter, he married his nephew's girlfriend.

The wedding was lavish, yet absurd.

Everyone said the girl had climbed her way to power for money, willingly becoming a caged bird kept as a pet and even accepting the infamy.

Others said Zhao Yuzhou had stolen his nephew's lover, taking his wife after killing his nephew, in a despicable move.

Only Zhao Yuzhou knew how long he had waited for that day.

…

Later, the news from the Zhao family was that Mr. Zhao's most cherished treasure had gone missing.

All that remained was a divorce agreement. One winter night, she vanished without a trace.

02/

Zhao Yuzhou first met Wen Yiqiu in the rain of late spring.

She held a clear umbrella, her black hair pinned up with a sandalwood hairpin. Holding his nephew's arm, she passed him with a bright smile and called out, "Uncle."

Through the curtains of rain, Zhao Yuzhou lost his composure for the first time.

From then on, those eyes, cold as thin snow and white jade, became a sin he could never erase from his heart.

The next time he saw Wen Yiqiu was in the bleak late autumn, at his nephew's funeral.

Dressed in black and holding a black umbrella, she had tears poised on the tip of her pale chin, ready to fall.

After the service, inside the stifling car,

he forcibly pressed her onto his lap, gripped her chin, and bent down to silence all her sobs with his lips.

She angrily raised her hand and slapped him hard, then glared at him and ground out, "Zhao Yuzhou, you bastard!"

He only smiled, unfazed, and brushed his thumb over her swollen lips before sliding a diamond ring he'd prepared long ago onto her ring finger.

"He's dead. Now it's time to keep your promise and call me something else."

"Am I right, Mrs. Zhao?"

03/

Everyone said Zhao Yuzhou was a man of restraint seated on a high dais, coldly abstinent and steady as a mountain.

Until one day, at a prestigious banquet, just moments before Zhao Yuzhou was due to give a speech as the guest of honor, he suddenly froze as he stared at his phone screen.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, he rushed out without even remembering to switch off the microphone.

A friend chased after him and urgently asked what could possibly have happened to make him lose his composure like that.

He pointed at the chat window with its red exclamation mark and frowned helplessly.

"My wife's mad."

"I have to get back and apologize."

1. Both are virgins. The male lead is seven years older, and is chaste in both body and reputation.

2. There is another reason for the nephew's death, which will be explained in the story.

3. The male lead is extremely, extremely awful in the beginning, and forcibly claims her!! He's not a good person!! Read with caution if you don't like coercive relationships T T
