[Auction-house heiress vs. retired assassin turned CEO]
Yu Yan is not only breathtakingly beautiful, but has also excelled in every field since childhood. She's the young businesswoman every wealthy family wants to recruit.
Her father is gravely ill and can't bear to leave her struggling alone to keep the family business afloat, so he finds her a suitable marriage match.
Three proposals for an alliance are rejected.
With no other choice, the elders turn around and discuss another candidate.
On her wedding day, she's abducted in broad daylight. When she wakes up, she somehow finds herself married to the very man who rejected the match.
Taking full advantage of his unreasonable but legal status, Pei Jinfeng sneaks into her bed that night. “It's our wedding night, darling. Would you rather have your husband or the other man? I can play either role.”
Being a jerk never ends well.
Pei Jinfeng goes astray on his quest to win her back, and keeps straying further.
One marriage, two grooms competing for her, and three people caught in the middle.
Pei Jinfeng has no choice but to crawl through the shadows. He endures her cold stares, yet patiently softens them every time.
At long last, after all the hardship, the man gets his wish. Kissing the girl he loves, he asks, “Baby, is our marriage certificate valid today?”
