[A fiery, down-on-her-luck princess and a roguish, carefree knight who knows how to play the game] [A devoted marriage with no third parties + He’s secretly loved her for years and finally wins her heart + Marriage first, love later]
The story in a nutshell: [A gorgeous husband dotes on his wife and helps her live life to the fullest, until they finally choose each other]
When Qiao Wanyu was eighteen, she made two mistakes.
First, she agreed to be with her childhood sweetheart, Gu Jingzhou.
Second, she hurt her high school deskmate, Pei Jiuyan, the crown prince of the capital’s elite circle.
Back in high school, Wanyu had wanted nothing to do with the dazzling crown prince. Proud and headstrong, she had eyes only for her childhood sweetheart.
She never imagined that six years later, instead of marrying her sweetheart and living happily ever after, she’d be cheated on by him and left with nothing.
The night she caught him cheating, she ran into that dazzling, privileged crown prince again after years apart. With a careless, wicked smile, he said, “I’m here to... take advantage of the chaos and steal a bride.”
“How about a marriage of convenience? I’ll pay, you provide the person. We each get what we need and help each other out.”
Remembering what happened in high school, Wanyu thought he was out for revenge. But with nowhere else to turn, she decided to take a chance.
After they married, things went just as she’d hoped, but his revenge never came. Instead, he doted on her to no end.
At a party, when a rival provoked her, she shot back in a huff:
“All I have to do is crook my finger, and your untouchable Ninth Master will come crawling at my feet like a dog!”
The moment the words left her mouth, she saw the elegant, wicked man walking toward her. In full view of everyone, he knelt reverently and kissed the back of her hand. “Is this how you imagined it, my dear wife?”

Down on her luck, Wanyu never expected that the person she’d once desperately avoided would come to her before she could fall apart: the one she loved.
The article is well written. I like it.
