After the Substitute Marriage, I Found Out My Husband's Persona Had Crumbled

The Qiao family has been in an uproar lately: Qiao Yi is expected to take her family’s place in an arranged marriage, to the Fu family’s powerful patriarch, a man rumored to be disfigured and sinister. They say the old bachelor is well into his thirties, ruthless in business, and scarred by a car accident, with eight scars across his face! “Waaah, my island vacation! My Paris Fashion Week!” Miss Qiao sobs into her limited-edition Chanel pillow, hiccuping as she cries. Suddenly, she grabs her twin brother by the sleeve. “Qiao Qiao, if that freak tortures me to death, remember to burn the latest couture for me every year... Hermès!” Qiao Qiao rolls his eyes, but feels a pang in his heart. Seeing the sister he’d fought with over every little thing since childhood crying hard enough to get snot bubbles, he remembers the time she took the blame for him and got beaten by their dad. The young master irritably ruffles his bangs, slams a hand on the table, and jumps to his feet. “I can’t take this anymore! I’ll marry him for you!” Three months later, Qiao Qiao is regretting for the 108th time that he didn’t transmigrate back in time to strangle himself. So much for being disfigured. The man’s jawline is sharper than his life plans. So much for being frigid. Who’s the ghost that wakes him with kisses at six every morning? “Fu Shang, are you a dog or something?” The young star rubs the marks on his waist and kicks the man with eight-pack abs out of bed. “Starting today, we’re sleeping in separate rooms!” But the man catches him by the ankle and pulls him back into his arms, warm breath brushing his ear. “Who was crying and saying ‘just one last time’ last night?” Sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, pampered darling on the receiving end × scheming, reserved, doting husband on the pursuing end Eight-year age gap / each other’s first love / his secret crush comes true
