[Marriage Before Love + pretend substitute + mutual salvation + obsessive love + sweet and angsty]
Clear-eyed, stunning heiress and playgirl VS abstinent, obsessive tycoon who bows his head for love
To resist an arranged marriage and escape her family's control, Qin Qingyue picked a man who looked just like her unattainable first love and married him.
He obeyed her every word and let her order him around.
It wasn't until she accidentally uncovered his secret that she learned the truth:
Tiancheng was caught in a storm of shifting power and upheaval. Her seemingly gentle, mild-mannered husband was actually the mastermind pulling the strings.
And she was nothing more than one of his pawns.
Heartbroken by the truth, she tried to leave, only for the now-unmasked, sinister man to pin her in his arms.
“Ayue, I was wrong! I shouldn't have lied to you. But you shouldn't leave me either...”
Shi Xiaohan had always been a master strategist, but this was the first time a woman had moved his heart.
Back then, he didn't understand what it meant to “fall in love.”
By the time he recognized his own feelings, all she wanted was to get away from him.
He handed her a loaded gun, held her hand, and aimed it at himself, smiling with wild abandon. “Pull the trigger. If I die, you'll be free.”
But if he survived, they would be bound together for all eternity, never to part!
