Married First, Love Later? I’m Done Following This Script

[Older, Guiding Lover vs. Independent, Clear-Headed Career Woman + Sweet Married Life + Both Reveal Their Secret Identities]

[The Male Lead Makes His Move First vs. The Second Male Lead’s Long Road to Winning Her Back]

Xie Wanning spent ten years loving someone she should never have loved. In the end, she was left battered and heartbroken.

When she turned away and accepted her family’s arranged marriage, everyone said that the head of the He family was decisive and ruthless, yet cold and heartless. They were sure this marriage would be nothing but a business deal.

But no one told her that

this man, who was ruthless in the business world, would kneel to replace her shoes with soft slippers when she came home exhausted;

that the business prodigy, known as a work machine, would put million-dollar contracts aside to cook her a bowl of stomach-warming porridge himself.

Xie Wanning thought the marriage was simply a matter of each getting what they wanted.

Until one night, as she tried to escape with her aching waist, the man caught her wrist and pressed a black card into her hand:

“Mrs. He, spend as much as you like. There’s no limit.”

“As for me, I can play however I like. There’s no limit to that, either.”

As it turned out,

he had planned every step, just waiting for her to fall into his trap.

Beneath his elegant exterior lurked a twisted, pathological possessiveness.

He shed the disguise of the chaste young gentleman and coaxed her night after night:

“Ningning, have a child with me, will you?”

Some people used their favoritism to keep her imprisoned for ten years,

while he gave her a lifetime of redemption through marriage.
