Marriage Pact: The CEO Only Wants to Build Her Career

Everyone in the industry says that Jiang Wan, the young CEO of Huanyu Group, is an untouchable beauty: cool, abstinent, and ruthless, with no room in her life for anyone who isn’t work, including suitors and gossip. But an unexpected family-arranged marriage lands like a bolt from the blue on this workaholic. Jiang Wan’s stance is clear: she’ll agree to the marriage, but only if her fiancé is someone she can control completely and who won’t get in the way of her career. In other words, a “tool.”

Just as Jiang Wan is racking her brains over how to find this tool, her chief secretary, Lu Yan, hands her a detailed draft of a “marriage agreement.” Known as “President Jiang’s right-hand man and walking encyclopedia,” Lu Yan appears gentle and refined, but in truth he is meticulous. He knows Jiang Wan’s schedule, preferences, and even every shift in her mood inside out. Adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses, he says calmly, “President Jiang, if you can’t find a suitable candidate, I’d like to put myself forward. My terms are all in here.” Jiang Wan looks at the clearly itemized “secretary by day, husband by night” clause and Lu Yan’s deep eyes, which seem able to see right through everything, and suddenly wonders... could her secretary be a little too clever?
