We Met Long Before the Wedding

The woman Gu Xiuyuan marries under protest is the girl he has spent sixteen years looking for, and he does not know it. When he was eight and living at a sanatorium with his legs ruined in a car accident, he met Xiao Cao, a child cut off from her family since she was small, who could heal living things and talk to animals and plants. She healed his legs. The two were taken away separately before they could say goodbye and lost all contact. Sixteen years later Gu Xiuyuan runs the Gu Corporation. He is fussy, obsessive about cleanliness, and has stayed celibate all this time waiting for Xiao Cao, but every search for her has come up empty. A marriage arranged between the families forces him to take the Su family's second daughter, Su Tinghe, who is sent in as a substitute bride. Tinghe has the same brightness Xiao Cao had, and he thaws toward her more than he means to. His grandmother pushes the two of them together and they end up in bed. Then a lead on Xiao Cao finally turns up, and it points to Tinghe's elder sister Su Yutong, the Su heir who is said to have awakened a special ability. Gu Xiuyuan takes it as a choice between wronging Xiao Cao and letting Tinghe down.
