In Beicheng, the eldest daughter of the Ming family, Miss Ming, relies on Zhou Tingyun’s indulgent affection to run wild—throwing her weight around and acting with impunity. No matter how big a mess she makes, that thunderously decisive man will always clean it up for her.
That is, until Zhou Tingyun is recognized and brought back into the Zhou family, becoming its sole heir. With a new family, a blood-related younger sister, and a perfect political marriage prospect, people secretly gloat and mock—convinced that Ming Zhao has finally lost her backing and that her glory days are over, eagerly waiting to see her downfall.
Unexpectedly, at a certain evening banquet—
the young lady hooks her finger around the man’s tie, her eyes smiling, and lightly taps her own lips with a fingertip.
And the Zhou family’s ever-composed man in power leans down slightly, lowering his head to kiss the dimple on her cheek.
When she frowns in dissatisfaction, he coaxes her gently in a low voice:
“Be good. We’ll make a fuss when we get home.”
—
When they were young, after being smacked on the palm, Ming Zhao planted her hands on her hips and angrily cursed Zhou Tingyun as a bastard, swearing to cut ties with his vicious self.
Later, on the bed, Zhou Tingyun kneads her ankle and admits calmly,
“Yes, I am a bastard.”
—
“You are the bone of my bones, the flesh of my flesh.”
