【 arranged marriage leading to love + slow burn】
【calm, self-controlled nobleman × cold, rational female doctor】
Cen Xi has a secret—
she has been in unrequited love with Shang Hanzhou for many years.
–
On the day they accidentally registered their marriage, Shang Hanzhou went abroad to expand his business empire and stayed overseas for two years.
——
Two years later, he returns to the country. Cen Xi knows very well that Shang Hanzhou has no feelings for her. What he needs is only a wife who is obedient, trouble-free, and appropriately well-behaved.
–
She remembers this clearly and never crosses the line, faithfully maintaining the image of a respectful, distant married couple.
——
Everyone believes Shang Hanzhou is calm, restrained, and never easily loses control. Cen Xi is just his marriage partner. But one winter night— He sees the love letters Cen Xi has written to someone she likes.
–
Jealousy makes his eyes turn red, his noble composure shatters, and he grits his teeth as he demands:
“Cen Xi, look at me.”
“Cen Xi, you are not allowed to like anyone else.”
“Cen Xi, I am your husband!”
–
What was supposed to be a polite, distant marriage…
becomes his downfall first—he is the one who falls uncontrollably in love.
