[Marriage first, love later + masked couple + mutual redemption + double cleansing]
["Down-and-out" daughter & ambitious cellist of fishing lineage] ["Well-behaved" heir & cool, ruthless and paranoid boss]
Ming Zhi & Huo Zhixu
/A transaction, a tacit sinking. /
*
A marriage contract lasts for three years.
-
Ming Zhi met Huo Zhixu when he was in the most embarrassing situation.
"I have key evidence to overturn your father's case. The condition is that you marry me."
His light words choked Ming Zhi's life.
**
When news of the marriage came to light, the black and white couples sent congratulatory gifts one after another, crossing the threshold of the Huo family.
In the eyes of Jiangcheng people, they were a loving couple.
As everyone knows,
There is only use and calculation between them.
He was greedy for her body heat, and she took advantage of his power. However, in the darkest hours of countless nights, each other became the only comfort.
As for love?
For Ming Zhi, money is the least valuable and he always puts profit first.
***
Until that day, Huo Zhexu lost his temper after drinking.
He picked up a wine bottle and broke the leg of the eldest son of the Song family.
He strangled him by the neck and warned harshly, "If you dare to speak rudely again, I won't mind destroying your third leg."
-
"What do you want to do?"
Ming Zhi kept retreating, while Huo Zhixu pressed forward step by step.
Huo Zhexu, who was full of alcohol, pushed Ming Zhi against the corner.
"What are you doing?" He clutched the divorce agreement tightly, his eyes darkened, "You want to divorce me? I won't agree."
