Only After We Married Did I Learn I Was the Business Tycoon’s One True Love

【Marriage first, love later. The male lead has been planning this for a long time.】 【Cool, clear-headed ice rose vs. steady, calculating man in power】 As the eldest daughter of the Cheng family, Cheng Ning seemed to have it all: beauty, fine clothes, and every luxury. What no one knew was that, in her parents’ eyes, she was nothing more than a pawn for a marriage alliance. After breaking up with her ex, Cheng Ning took charge of her own future and sought out a marriage match. Her only goal was to move her household registration out of her birth family’s home. Their marriage would last a year, and afterward they would live together with mutual respect and no interference. Her husband was Wen Zhixing, the gentle, steady younger uncle of the Wen family. Cheng Ning was quite satisfied with the arrangement. She just didn’t know why, but not long after the wedding, Wen Zhixing’s gentle facade began to fade away in front of her. - In Wen Zhixing’s life, love had always been optional. That was, until he was twenty-two, when he accidentally came upon an elf dancing alone beneath the moon. After that, his gaze began following the elf wherever she went, quite against his will. Wen Zhixing had never let anyone know what was in his heart, except Cheng Ning herself, the elf in question. But Cheng Ning had a comfortable life and a stable relationship. It seemed she had no need for him at all. Wen Zhixing thought he would keep his feelings buried forever, until one quiet evening, everything suddenly changed. - Not long after marrying Wen Zhixing, Cheng Ning began to feel that something was off. It was only a marriage contract, yet Wen Zhixing seemed far too good to her. At first, she told herself it was probably just because he was a nice person. Then, one night, her ex asked to get back together. When she came home, the usually mild-mannered man had her pinned against the doorway. “Ningning, don’t you think you owe your husband an explanation?” The cheesy endearment made Cheng Ning shiver. She looked up at Wen Zhixing. All she saw in his eyes was scorching desire and possessiveness.
