Surging Tides on a Spring Night

[Gentle and clear-headed heroine vs. powerful Beijing socialite] [Marriage first, love later + slow-burn romance + devoted couple] Everyone feels sorry for Shen Tangning, who has lost both her parents and lives with her maternal grandparents. Without her engagement to the Liang family, the most prominent family of all, she would have no place to stand. But her fiance insists on breaking off their engagement and marrying that woman, even going so far as to have her added to a separate page in his household register. Shen Tangning doesn't make a scene. She accepts it calmly. As someone so unfortunate, she never expected to hold on to anything. To her surprise, Liang Shaoqing, the true head of the Liang family and a powerful figure in the capital, proposes to marry her. People say this big shot in the capital keeps women at arm's length, is restrained and old-fashioned, and becomes so ruthless and single-minded when working that he forgets all else. After their wedding, wherever Mr. Liang goes for drinks or dinner, a delicate, cool Jiangnan beauty is always by his side, tugging at his hand and asking him to come home early. His expression is gentle and indulgent as he holds her close, never once scolding her. Shen Tangning grows more and more pampered under Liang Shaoqing's care, but she isn't clingy. When she does cling to him now and then, Liang Shaoqing pins her down with kisses, coaxing her to hold on just a little longer.
