A Substitute Bride Falls Head Over Heels for Mr. Zhou

[Business marriage + falling in love after marriage + powerful CEO + happy ending] Nan Zhu takes her stepsister's place in a marriage alliance with the Zhou family, Haicheng's most powerful clan. When she meets Zhou Sheng for the first time, they agree to go ahead with the marriage alliance. The second time they meet, they go to the civil affairs bureau and register their marriage. Nan Zhu wants to escape the advances of her stepbrother. Zhou Sheng wants to deal with his grandfather's constant nagging about marriage. Before they register, Zhou Sheng tells her: “This is a marriage alliance for business. I'll give you the status and position you deserve, but I can't give you love.” He is used to being in control of his life, with everything carefully planned and orderly. Love is an intangible, unpredictable thing, and to him, it's a hassle. Nan Zhu takes his words to heart. She assumes he's a cold, aloof, domineering CEO. She never expected Mr. Zhou to be much easier to get along with than she'd imagined. To her surprise, they make a great match after marriage. Nan Zhu thinks this peaceful, ordinary life is pretty nice. So why has someone completely forgotten what he said and become more and more clingy? - Before the wedding, Zhou Sheng has no expectations for this marriage alliance. To him, it doesn't matter who he marries. He even tells Nan Zhu he can't give her love. After the wedding, Zhou Sheng enjoys spending time with her more and more, and becomes increasingly attached to her. He wishes he could hold her in his arms every minute of the day. He realizes he's fallen in love with Nan Zhu. And now, what they have isn't enough. “Love me, Nan Zhu. I want you to love me.” He wants both the pleasure of their union and Nan Zhu's heart. Because he's already hopelessly in love with her. P.S. A friendly heads-up: this story has a secondary couple.
