The Cold-Hearted CEO’s Substitute Bride

On her wedding day, the bride-to-be’s older sister runs away, plunging the entire Su family into crisis. Su Wan, the adopted daughter who has always been treated as “invisible,” is forced to put on a wedding dress that was never meant for her and marry into a wealthy family in her sister’s place.

On their wedding night, her husband, Gu Yanchen, warns her coldly, “Remember, this is only a transaction. Don’t expect me to love you.”

With a cold husband, a taunting older sister, and a family full of hidden agendas, Su Wan walks on eggshells in the enormous mansion. She intends to keep her head down and play the “stand-in” role, but through a series of clashes and moments of protection, she gradually glimpses the truth and warmth hidden beneath the icy exterior.

Where will this marriage, born of substitution, ultimately lead? And can she find her own light and warmth inside this cold cage?
