After the Down-and-Out Young Master Provokes the CEO, He Can’t Escape

Jiang Ruan was born the pampered young master of the Jiang family. Because he had congenital heart disease, his parents treated him with the utmost care, afraid that anything might make him feel unwell.

After he finally struggled through a heart transplant and began to recover, the family company went bankrupt overnight and his parents died in an accident. He became a frail, delicate young man burdened with enormous debts.

To pay them off, Jiang Ruan took whatever jobs he could find. He never expected that an accident would lead him to give himself to Gu Yanchuan, the capital’s newest rising star.

The next morning, Jiang Ruan woke up and fled in terror, only to be forcibly taken home by Gu Yanchuan while working as a stunt double on a film set.

Gu Yanchuan paid off his debts on one condition: a marriage certificate.

From then on, the supposedly cold and ruthless Gu Yanchuan of capital-city gossip had a new reputation: he doted on his little wife like she was the most precious thing in the world.

When a livestream interview ran late, President Gu glanced at his watch and stood up without hesitation.

“Sorry, that’s all for today. I have to bring my sweetheart dinner. If I’m any later, I won’t have time to make his favorite braised pork ribs.”

The audience erupted. Countless versions of President Gu and his little wife’s love story spread everywhere.

When Jiang Ruan saw the clip on set, his face turned red and his heart pounded.

Gu Yanchuan really was good to him, caring for him personally and looking after him with such tenderness. Though their marriage was only an arrangement, Gu Yanchuan treated him like a lover of many years.

Jiang Ruan basked in their sweet life until an old newspaper shattered the illusion.

The heart inside him had originally belonged to Gu Yanchuan’s first love.
