[Marriage First, Love Later] [Age Gap] [The Powerful One Bows His Head] [SC]
[Fake Sweetheart x Real Tyrant]
Yunzhi was the business family's chosen candidate for an arranged marriage.
As an illegitimate daughter, she had no choice but to do everything she could to please Shang Shixu for the sake of protecting herself.
But he was a notorious playboy, and his treatment of her was downright awful.
Everyone laughed and said that even if she married into the Shang family, she'd be thrown out sooner or later.
Yunzhi didn't want to be thrown out, so she threw caution to the wind and entered the room of Shang Shixu's uncle on the very night he returned from overseas.
But the man was cold and stern. He left her with only a warning: "If there's a next time, you'd better know what you're doing."

After provoking the Shang family's tyrant, Yunzhi thought she had nowhere left to turn.
But when she looked up, the person waiting outside the Civil Affairs Bureau was none other than Mr. Shang.
Yunzhi was stunned.
The man merely said, "Miss Yun, you've got the wrong fiance."
Yunzhi: "So all these years, I..."
Shang Hejing added with amusement, "You've been hitting on your husband's nephew."
-
Only after they married did Yunzhi learn that marrying Shang Hejing was truly like walking straight into a tiger's den.
He was sharp-tongued and cold, had no regard for anyone's feelings, and snapped at her at the drop of a hat!
After being scolded into tears once again, Yunzhi could take no more and asked for a divorce.
That night, the man who had always been so self-possessed and aloof lost control for the first time. Drunk, he held her by the waist and apologized again and again: "I was wrong, baby. Don't leave me, okay?"

Later on.
Watching him put on her shoes and pour her water, Yunzhi asked with a teasing smile, "Shang Hejing, aren't you a man of principle?"
He took them from her naturally. "Now, my wife is my principle."
Is this novel designed so that the male protagonist is as noble as an emperor and the female protagonist is as humble as a palace maid? 🤦
Good-looking (๑• . •๑)
