Everyone in Beicheng knows that the marriage between the Zhou and Gu families looks less like a union of hearts and more like a “bidding war.” Two evenly matched families are about to weave their power together through a single wedding.
When Zhou Tang received the news of the arranged marriage, she had just bought a vineyard on Paris’s Left Bank. Her mother announced the date over the phone as casually as if discussing the weather: “The wedding is set for three months from now.” She flew home that very night and slammed the door to her father’s study. “An arranged marriage? Have you even asked how many noses he has?” Meanwhile, Gu Zhen was in London’s financial district, closing an acquisition deal. When his grandfather threatened, “Marry her, or step down as CEO,” he gave a cold laugh. “The Zhou family’s daughter? I’ve even forgotten how to write her name.”
Three days later, they met for the first time at the Zhou family’s old residence. Zhou Tang, wearing a slit qipao, kicked open the door to the tearoom and found Gu Zhen undoing his cufflinks. He remarked nonchalantly, “I hear Miss Zhou is good at making a scene?” She flicked off her sunglasses and arched a brow. “And isn’t Mr. Gu used to playing the smiling tiger?” In the end, the two “clients” reached an agreement at the negotiating table: no interfering in each other’s lives after the wedding, and they would divorce after two years.
On the wedding day, the city’s most powerful elite bore witness to this “match made in heaven.” Zhou Tang cut a nine-tier cake with Gu Zhen, her diamond-studded heels clicking as applause surged around them. No one saw her grit her teeth and hiss, “You’re tugging on my veil!” His arm around her waist suddenly tightened, and he chuckled into her ear, “Miss Zhou, your bouquet hit your brother’s ex-girlfriend.”

It is eye-catching, whether it is the talent and appearance of the male and female protagonists, or the two of them joining forces, the handsome man and the beautiful woman, and their battle of wits and courage, all of which demonstrate the superior intelligence of the two. There is harmony in the tit-for-tat confrontation, and the gaps in the competition make people imagine that love will be more exciting in the future. The author's superb level creates a classic novel
The female protagonist is wanton and flamboyant, while the male protagonist is arrogant and calm. The two are a perfect match, and their relationship slowly develops. 😄
You can buy good-looking men and women who have careers I rated it again after seeing half of it, and I think I can buy it. The heroine has personality and is no longer a love brain. When I saw the release of Public Welfare, I felt that the level has improved a lot, and the author's literary talent is very nice.
Nice! The author's writing style is profound! Like!
