A Whirlwind Marriage: The Beloved of Young Master Pei

· Marriage first, love later | Contract marriage | Secret marriage into a wealthy family | Sweet, swoony, and satisfying · Both leads are each other's first | Hero seems aloof and abstinent but is actually intensely possessive | Heroine is gentle, resilient, and never gives up · A marriage that begins as a transaction, and a love that stirs from the heart. To get her family out of a difficult situation, newly graduated Su Wanning makes a one-year marriage agreement with a man she's met only once, beneath the old locust tree at the entrance to her village. He needs to handle his elders and maintain the right image for his career; she needs a bride price so her family can live in comfort. She assumes it's a cold, straightforward exchange. She keeps to her role, looking forward to being free again in a year. But after marrying him, she discovers that the friends of the supposedly ordinary project manager are all young masters famous far and wide. They agreed not to interfere in each other's lives, so why does he look at her with an increasingly intense, smoldering gaze, as if she's a treasure he intends to claim? Pei Yanci has always thought of marriage as just another task on his life's agenda. He gives her a comfortable life; she gives him peace and quiet. But somewhere along the way, her faint smile becomes the moonlight in his heart, and the slightest hurt she suffers is enough to throw him into a panic. When their agreement expires, she hands him a signed divorce agreement. In front of everyone, he tears it to shreds and pulls her into his arms, his voice hoarse: “Wanning, the agreement is void.” “My heart has belonged to you for a long time. You won't escape me for the rest of your life.”
