Life After Marriage: The Big Shot Takes Me to the Top

[Long-planned romance + lighthearted daily life + sweet, satisfying romance]

[Quiet, gentle beauty vs. seemingly restrained and proper, but actually devoted and calculating tycoon]

Xu Yanchen was born into one of the most powerful families in the country, with a deep family legacy. As the new head of the family, he was cool and noble, aloof and distant.

Everyone in their circle thought the marriage alliance between the Xu and Su families was for mutual benefit. Even Su Nian believed that, and after the wedding, she always treated him with polite respect.

She had always admired and respected him, but he seemed to want something else.

Then one day, the man looked at her with a panic she'd never seen before. “All I've ever wanted is you. Only you...”

Her heart was thrown into turmoil...

She remembered their first formal meeting. He had prepared a highly detailed personal profile and handed it to her. Even the date on his medical checkup report was recent, and he was so healthy there wasn't a single flaw to find.

Someone so outstanding, from such an illustrious family, why would he choose her?

She had asked him then, “Don't you think you're getting the short end of the stick by marrying me?”

What had he said?

“I don't. I think we're a perfect match.”

“So, Miss Su, will you marry me?”

His gaze was so deep and intense that after meeting his eyes, Su Nian quickly looked away.

Back then, she hadn't understood the emotions surging in his eyes. Now she did.

One night, the man who was always so restrained and proper pinned her beneath him, his gaze dark and his voice husky. “It's not enough. I want more...”

[Her perspective: married first, love later. His perspective: he'd been plotting this for a long time.]
