[Substitute Bride #Secret Identity #Marriage Before Love #Bickering Couple #Career Comeback]
On her wedding night as a substitute bride, Yu Qinan discovers that her husband is actually Ou Tianchen, the foolish blind date she made fun of a year ago.
“Called me a dumbass?” The man chuckles as he holds their marriage contract. “Now you’re the most important contract of my life.”
The Yu family goes bankrupt, and their adopted daughter is sent in as a substitute bride. With one contract, she becomes a bird in a cage.
By day, she plays the obedient wife of a wealthy family. At night, she secretly returns to her artistic dreams.
Then her secret identity is exposed in public, and everyone waits to laugh at her.
Ou Tianchen tosses her files about the company’s crisis.
“Two days. Prove you’re more than a pretty face.”
The proposal she stakes everything on leaves the whole room stunned.
After the celebration banquet, the man leans in close, his presence dangerous.
“Yu Qinan, I’m unilaterally requesting an addition to the terms of our contract…”
He snatches a business deal from a rival, while she quietly prepares hangover medicine for him.
When rumors mock her as a gold-digging canary who married into wealth, the spotlight of the International Rising Artist Award suddenly shines on her.
After the banquet, she receives a text: The necklace cost will be deducted from your prize money.
She raises an eyebrow and replies: Cheap boss, it’s already been deducted in full.
A new message pops up: After an audit, the amount is substantial. Installment payments are recommended. You can pay it back slowly over the rest of your life.
Being a substitute bride was the reluctant start of her story, but it was the love trap he had carefully planned from the start.
