Caught Between Day and Night

[Fair-skinned beauty heiress x irresistibly charming playboy] [Beijing elite circles, marriage first and love later, secret crush, happy ending, devoted to each other] The night before the Su and Xie families were set to announce their engagement, Su Yuying received a provocative text. The sender told her that her future fiancé was in love with another woman and was marrying her only as a stopgap. Any woman with a shred of pride would have called off the engagement and kicked the cheating scumbag to the curb after reading that message. Su Yuying, though widely recognized as a talented beauty among the capital's elite, refused to do the expected. Instead, she went straight to Xie Congyan and demanded they get married at once. Xie Congyan raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure? You can't just put your name in my household register because you feel like it.” Su Yuying replied, “Just watch me!” No one in the capital was more notorious as a playboy than Xie Congyan. He was ill-tempered and irreverent, the kind of man nobody dared to cross. Yet after their marriage, these two opposites underwent a dramatic change. The sweet and demure Su Yuying showed her true colors, becoming domineering and unreasonable, ordering him around at every turn. Playboy Xie Congyan turned into a doting husband. If his wife wanted the stars, he wouldn't settle for the moon. He took her everywhere, afraid someone else might set their sights on her. Someone even photographed Xie Congyan playing a game with his wife at a scenic attraction. Just because she said she wanted to win, he crouched down to act as her footstool, then praised her: “My wife sure is strong.” - Su Yuying always thought their battle was about who would crack first, so she kept giving him a hard time, hoping to make him admit defeat. But one late night, watching the man hold her with a look of utter contentment, she finally realized that he had surrendered to her long ago.
