[Spoiled heiress vs. scheming heir|A secret crush comes true × married first, love later|A power couple who flirt relentlessly × redemption from terminal illness]
Her childhood sweetheart got engaged to someone else, and the very next moment, Cheng Feiran was diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer.
With all hope lost, she went to a bar to drink her troubles away.
A handsome man approached her. She grabbed his tie and asked, “Hey, handsome, name your price.”
He smiled. “I’m very expensive.”
The heiress slapped down a million-yuan check. “Think it over. If you’re not interested, I’ll find someone else.”
One night of passion. Then she blacked out.
Three days later, the man showed up at a matchmaking banquet. “Miss Cheng, we meet again.”
Cheng Feiran asked, “Do we know each other?”
The forgotten heir silently reflected: “It was my fault for not making a lasting impression.”
To save her family, the heiress concealed her illness and married him in a whirlwind civil ceremony.
After the wedding, Cheng Feiran wanted nothing more than a marriage in name only. The heir, however, was determined to marry first and fall in love later. He doted on her, cared for her, and took care of everything himself, giving her the ordinary, everyday happiness she longed for.
Cheng Feiran couldn’t make sense of it all, until she found an old photograph at her best friend’s house.
The man in the picture looked exactly like her husband!
Only then did she learn that this marriage had never been a transaction. It was the culmination of a hunt he’d pursued for ten years.
One day, after work, the heir, who had developed a taste for her, cornered Cheng Feiran in the walk-in closet.
Just as he was about to make love to her, Cheng Feiran slapped the million-yuan check that had fallen out of his old suit against his chest. “Young Master Huo, do you really like cosplaying as a male escort?”
He twirled a strand of her hair around his finger, his gaze burning as he looked at her. “Then how about letting me serve you one more time tonight…”
The agency was too clever in its calculations, but it cost Qing Qing her life. Good things come to good people!
