Important!!! ♥ The author was careless and got the title wrong. The original title was “Help! My Flash-Married Husband Is Actually a Sickly CEO” (I really want to slap myself twice for that!).
[Sickly, fake-sweet younger brother X awkward, innocent older sister; older woman/younger man; marriage before love; first love; secret crush turned mutual; face-slapping satisfaction; seemingly innocent but secretly ruthless]
Su Xinyu is a twenty-eight-year-old office worker who has never been in a relationship. Driven to the brink by her parents’ relentless nagging about marriage, she gets harassed by a man on a blind date. At the critical moment, Jiang Jingnan, a poor guy who works hauling bricks at a construction site, steps in and knocks the man flat with one punch.
Looking at the handsome, tall young man before her, Su Xinyu pulls out an agreement. “Handsome, how about you pretend to be my boyfriend? I’ll pay you ten thousand a month.”
Jiang Jingnan lowers his eyes and acts pitiful. “Sis, my grandmother’s sick and wants me to get married soon. If you don’t mind, could we just get married right away?”
Then one day after the wedding, her husband, a master of playing sweet and innocent, shows up before the media in a Rolls-Royce, wearing an expensive custom-tailored suit, and publicly declares, “She is the one and only Mrs. Jiang, the lady of the house at Jiang Group, and my wife in the truest sense of the word.”
Su Xinyu: “Oh no! I flash-married a domineering CEO! Is it too late to get a divorce?”
Later, when he finds out she wants a divorce, he ties her up and takes her to a locked basement. Su Xinyu looks at the dazzling array of equipment inside as his low voice coils around her like a venomous snake. “Honey, do you know how long I’ve been preparing this basement? Do you still want to divorce me?”
Su Xinyu swallows. “I don’t. I don’t.”
