On the Night I Called Off Our Engagement, I Married My Fiancé’s Archenemy

[Broken Engagement, Revenge on the Scumbag, Whirlwind Marriage to a Powerful Tycoon, Marriage First, Love Later, Power Couple, Secret Crush Comes True] At her engagement party, Su Wan, heiress to the Su jewelry business, catches her fiancé, Lu Mingxuan, and her scheming best friend, Bai Weiwei, in a passionate scene in the lounge. In front of the city’s elite, she hurls her engagement ring at the scumbag’s face and calls off the wedding with a flourish, turning herself and her family into a laughingstock. With her family conspiring against her and the Lu family out for revenge, Su Wan is backed into a corner. She turns to her business archenemy, the man she and everyone else consider “the king of one mountain and the tiger of another”: Gu Huaizhou, head of the Gu Group. “Mr. Gu, let’s get married on paper. I’ll be your shield, and you’ll be my protector.” With a single contract, she puts everything on the line. In public, he is a cold, ruthless, and self-controlled business titan, with only one demand for her: “Know your place.” In private, he fiercely protects her when her ex harasses her, sweeps every obstacle aside when her career hits a snag, and, when she’s drunk, looks at her with such restrained tenderness that she nearly melts. Su Wan thinks theirs is just a business deal. She has no idea that inside a locked drawer in Gu Huaizhou’s study lie the design sketches she lost as a girl and a faded photograph. This so-called “marriage of convenience” was a carefully laid trap, the result of his long-planned devotion from the very beginning. When her secret identity as the jewelry prodigy Luna wows the world, her ex-fiancé regrets everything and begs on his knees. Gu Huaizhou pins her against the wall and kisses her until she can hardly breathe. “Mrs. Gu, regretting it now? Too late. You, your talent, and your whole life can only belong to me.”
