A Love So Deep

The Xu family’s daughter, Xu Youyou, who was sent to the countryside years ago to recover from an illness, has returned to fulfill her engagement to the Lin family.

On the day of the wedding, however, the groom ran off to find his one true love.

As everyone watched the drama unfold, Xu Youyou calmly grabbed the man walking past her. “Marry me for a year, and I’ll save your sister. Deal?”

Mo Shenbai was a business tycoon, reserved and desireless, mysterious and low-key. For ten years, he had dominated the turbulent business world, yet not a single newspaper or magazine dared publish his photo, and no woman had ever managed to catch his eye.

That is, until he attended a wedding and met the young woman in a wedding dress who asked him to marry her.

The Xu Youyou Mo Shenbai imagined: an art student at Mo University, sweet and adorable, a great cook, with a lovely smile, someone who needed protecting.

The real Xu Youyou: the last disciple of a family of imperial chefs spanning three generations, a favorite student of a professor at Mo University, someone who occasionally dreamed of the future, and who saved the husband she’d picked up for free...

The Mo Shenbai Xu Youyou imagined: her brother’s good friend, a germaphobe, a woman-hater, handsome, and destined to die in a car accident. To avoid becoming a widow, she had to save him!

The real Mo Shenbai had once handed her an umbrella in a torrential downpour, pulling her out of the abyss. In his own way, he protected her as she grew up and went on to shine at the top of her field.

Their marriage was supposed to be a sham, lasting just one year, but Mo Shenbai made it real before the year was out. When a rival declared his love for Xu Youyou, Mo Shenbai smiled faintly and rested a hand on her flat stomach. “Darling, didn’t you tell him there’s already a little symbol of our love in here?”

Rival: ...

Xu Youyou: ?

*You saved me from despair, and I’ll save you for the rest of my life.
