[Marriage First, Love Later: A Tycoon Heir Male Lead and a Cool-Headed, Self-Possessed Heroine]
A family-arranged marriage brings Rong Yan, an ordinary office worker, together with Sheng Yi, the third-generation head of a top financial dynasty.
From the start, Rong Yan knows their marriage is a transaction, so she stays true to herself. No matter how relentlessly Sheng Yi pursues her, she refuses to fall for him.
By chance, she discovers that Sheng Yi is the man who rescued her from a thug years ago. Slowly, her feelings change, and she falls in love with him.
But just as she finally confesses, Sheng Yi tells her that their relationship is nothing more than a transaction.
-
If Rong Yan hadn’t happened to be his type, Sheng Yi wouldn’t have given his contract wife a second thought.
All along, he’d only been playing around. He never expected Rong Yan to take it seriously.
With no other choice, he ends the marriage early and pays her off as agreed.
-
Not long afterward, just as Rong Yan starts getting closer to the man she had a crush on in college, her ex-husband, who once told her never to show her face in front of him again, shamelessly clings to her, says he regrets everything, and refuses to let her marry anyone else.
