Mistakenly Spoiled Sweetheart: The CEO's Substitute Wife

Su Yanxi was an ordinary, simple girl whose only wish was to protect her mother. But in an instant, fate plunged her into an abyss. Her mother suddenly fell gravely ill, and the cost of surgery was an astronomical sum beyond her reach. Just as she was driven to desperation, her older sister, He Jinxi, offered to “buy” the rest of her life for 200,000 yuan: she would marry into a wealthy family in her sister’s place and become the wife of Gu Xicheng, president of the Shenlong Group.

Gu Xicheng was a ruthless tycoon, cold and stern on the outside. In truth, past emotional wounds had left scars on his heart and built a wall others could hardly cross. When they first met, he mistook Su Yanxi for He Jinxi and treated her with disdain and indifference. One cruel trial after another followed.

But kindhearted Su Yanxi refused to let hardship defeat her. During her time with the Gu family, she quietly gave all she could. She prepared breakfast for Gu Xicheng each morning and carefully tended the flowers and plants he cherished in her spare time. With her sincerity and warmth, she gently knocked on the door to his heart. Before he knew it, Gu Xicheng had grown used to her company. He began shielding her from the storms outside, and feelings quietly took root.

But beneath the calm, dark currents stirred. Seeing her younger sister win more and more affection, He Jinxi burned with jealousy. She deliberately tripped Su Yanxi up at a banquet to humiliate her, then filled her ears with lies, driving a wedge between the couple. Heartbroken, Su Yanxi left for another land. When Gu Xicheng learned the truth, grief overwhelmed him, and he resolutely set out to find his wife.

When they finally reunited, Gu Xicheng confessed his love, and the two cleared up their misunderstandings. From then on, they stood side by side, foiled He Jinxi’s schemes, and weathered the ups and downs of the business world together. At last, with everyone’s blessings, they married. Their love, born of a marriage in another woman’s place, blossomed brilliantly after enduring countless trials and became a celebrated urban romance.
