[A cold-blooded pragmatist + a sweet, soft, theatrical beauty + younger male lead]
The Wu family controls half of City A's commerce and leads the city's entertainment industry. Recently, the family began looking for a wife for its head, Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiu rejected the candidates his parents picked, but started dating the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Huaiyin.
The reason was that he'd had a bit of a crush on her since he was young. He also wanted to become the brother-in-law of his longtime rival, Chi Yuan.
Once they got to know each other, he realized Jiang Huaiyin was nothing like the person he remembered, but he still fell for her.
When the Jiang family ran into trouble, the usually heartless man made only one condition: marry him, and he'd help the Jiang family through the crisis.
He soon discovered that his wife had a flair for the dramatic. She loved to put on a show and have fun, and he was happy to indulge her without ever giving her away.
[Warning!] This story does feature a contract marriage, but it is not a marriage-first, love-later romance. If you're okay with the couple already liking each other before they marry, give it a try. If you want a true marriage-first, love-later story, please head elsewhere. Thanks!
Beautiful, love watching! I hope this pair of sisters can have a good ending for each other.
