I Became a Contract Couple with My Secret Crush

[Reunion after years apart / rekindled love / determined to win her back / both are each other's only one / one-on-one romance] Zhou Jing and Cheng Yue were like north and south. They knew of each other, but had never crossed paths. By chance, the two finally met. - Zhou Jing had heard plenty about Cheng Yue: wealthy family, highly capable, but a playboy all the same. Cheng Yue knew only that she was an excellent student who'd won a scholarship four years in a row, but was a bookworm through and through. - She thought their interactions would be awkward and sparse. She never expected that, as they carefully got to know each other, she would be the one to fall into a painful secret love. He'd always been the one in control, and no one had ever managed to make him care. He never imagined he'd fall so hard for her. - Years later, they meet again. She's in trouble, and he comes to her rescue. By then, she's a diligent salaried worker, while he's already at the top of the pyramid. He's no longer as flashy as he once was, but after their reunion, he sets a trap to bring her back to his side. - That day, major media outlets compete to report the news, and the story about the mysterious girlfriend of Cheng Group's CEO tops the trending searches. Claiming that Cheng Group's reputation mustn't suffer because of his personal affairs, Cheng Yue suggests that they sign a three-month contract to pose as a couple. Zhou Jing has no other choice but to agree. - When the term is up, she packs her bags and prepares to leave, only for him to block the door. Zhou Jing says, annoyed, “Please honor our contract, Mr. Cheng, and let me leave.” Cheng Yue gives a mocking laugh. “The term is indeed up, but now there's a new problem.” - She frowns at him, sensing that a bigger scheme is waiting for her. He approaches her one step at a time. “The media just reported that we secretly registered our marriage yesterday. I think we should make it official, just in case.”
