We Agreed to a Contract Marriage, So Who Told You to Make It Real?

The Su family’s business is thriving, and the Xu family comes to ask for their daughter’s hand in marriage.

Xu Jinnian pursues Su Rao for two years before finally winning the Su family’s approval.

But that passionate courtship comes to an abrupt end on the day the Su family goes bankrupt.

On the day of the broken engagement, no one from the Su family even shows up. They just send a secretary to drop off the token and hurry away, as if afraid of catching even a bit of bad luck.

The Su family’s only daughter, Su Rao, has been beautiful since childhood. Now grown, she’s the most stunning woman in the capital. If not for her engagement to the Xu family, suitors would have trampled their doorstep flat.

Now that the Su family is ruined and the Xu family has called off the engagement, everyone rubs their hands together, eager to make a move. But then the mysterious heir to the Shen family brings his fiancée home.

A paparazzo appears to have snapped a photo of the two, and it makes the headlines.

But the woman beside Third Master Shen looks exactly like the orphaned daughter of the Su family!

Impossible. Absolutely impossible.

The Shen family is the most powerful clan in the capital, and Shen Jibai, who leads the family, is known for his cold, aloof nature. Countless society ladies have thrown themselves at him over the years, without making the slightest impression.

Even if the Su family were still around, they wouldn’t dare get involved with the Shen family.

Now that the Su family is gone, it’s even less likely that Su Rao could win over the Shen family’s most outstanding heir.

Just as everyone remains skeptical, Third Master Shen posts his one and only update on social media.

At the same time, Su Rao posts an update of her own.

It’s an official relationship announcement, complete with a photo.

That evening, Xu Jinnian suffers a sudden heart attack and is taken to the hospital.

He called off the engagement only to make Su Rao change her temper and listen to him. He never really meant to let her go; he was just waiting for her to come back and beg him.

How could she have gotten married?
