[Clear-headed, rational down-on-her-luck heiress vs. prideful, secretly softhearted rich CEO + marriage first, love later + winning her back + five-year age gap + both pure]
To save her grandfather's business from bankruptcy, Fang Xueming was forced to marry Shen Yichen, heir to the immensely wealthy Shen family of the capital.
A contract stipulated that after three years, they would each go their separate ways.
Everyone said, “A fallen family from Nancheng thinks they can marry into the Shen family of the capital? This is nothing but a cold transaction between debt and marriage.
They lived together and pretended to be a couple. She kept to her place, but he kept drawing closer. Their intimacy grew, and with the wedding just around the corner, she nearly believed in this dream.
But the night before the wedding, the Shen family patriarch suddenly died of illness.
The whole city was in an uproar, calling her a harbinger of bad luck who had brought death to her husband's family, and waiting for the Shens to throw her out.
A year later, she sent him a message:
“Shen Yichen, when are you coming to Nancheng to take care of the divorce paperwork?”
It took him a long time to reply: “Busy.”
She pressed him: “How long will you be busy?”
This time, Shen Yichen replied right away: “For the rest of my life.”
Very beautiful, I really like the character of the heroine
