On the Day We Met, the Domineering CEO Dragged Me Off to Get Our Marriage License

[Marriage first, love later + older woman/younger man + love and hate + domineering female CEO]

“If you don't get a marriage certificate within three days, I'll strip you of your CEO position and your right to inherit a trillion-dollar fortune.”

Her grandfather issues this ultimatum to Zhou Yunting, forcing the CEO to marry.

To get the marriage certificate, she hides her identity and enters a sham marriage with a poor, reclusive writer.

To put her grandfather's doubts to rest, she claims her husband is a bestselling author.

Her grandfather plays along. “I want to read Huo Yan's bestseller.”

Huo Yan loves literature, but he has no publishable work to his name.

Zhou Yunting pulls out all the stops, buying time with her grandfather while building Huo Yan's image as a bestselling author.

Huo Yan has no idea what's going on. To repay her kindness, he agrees to a fake marriage with the pretty older woman.

But she takes advantage of him, not only suggesting they move in together but also trying to change his life and the image he's built for himself.

They're like needle and thorn, clashing at every turn, fighting and falling for each other amid endless arguments.

As the company's CEO, Zhou Yunting always finds a way to rein in her bratty younger husband's temper.

Little by little, they develop feelings for each other. Their love grows with time, and their pretend marriage becomes real. They're about to get their happy ending.

She invests in online fiction platforms and film companies, secretly pulling strings to make his work a hit.

Huo Yan finally becomes a bestselling author. Just as their sweet life together begins, disaster strikes.

The lie is accidentally exposed, Zhou Yunting's identity as a CEO comes to light, and Huo Yan becomes a runaway groom.

Can they make up and rekindle their love?
