[Marriage Before Love] [Slow-burn, sweet romance]
[Crazy tycoon] [Age gap] [Extremely possessive]
Li Zhi works in public relations and fears two things most: clients having a scandal, and getting into one herself.
Then she really did mess up. Filling in for her best friend, she read the wrong cue cards on a livestreamed stage in front of tens of thousands, turning a “brand statement” into a “confession of love.”
The whole internet went wild in an instant:
#SheBelongsToTheSugarDaddy# #TopTierStarDraggedOffOnTheSpot# #TheTycoonIsJealous#
Even more outrageous, the man in the black suit who went onstage and dragged the star away was the best friend’s big brother, Wen Yanting, the one she always called “scary as hell.”
To get the trending topics under control, save her career, and deal with all the trouble at home, Wen Yanting handed her an agreement:
A fake marriage for three months, living together, and pretending to be a couple in public.
Li Zhi’s first thought: Do you think I’m an idiot?
Her second thought: …Fine, let’s put out the fire first.
She thought it would be a simple transaction, with neither of them crossing the line.
But on the second day of living together, she came home late from work and opened the door to find Wen Yanting standing in the entryway, his tie loosened and his voice as cool as ever.
“Come here.”
Before she could react, he held her by the shoulders and checked her over, as if making sure she wasn’t hurt.
Everyone outside said he was cold, fierce, and indifferent to other people.
Only Li Zhi knew that all his so-called “fierceness” was used to shield her from the storm outside. The little tenderness he had left was reserved for her alone.
