[Marriage First, Love Later | One-on-One, Both Chaste, Sweet Romance | Second Male Lead’s Road to Regret]
[Gentle, Sweet-on-the-Outside, Ruthless Power Broker × Clear-Headed, Proactive Heiress]
A high-profile alliance between two of the capital’s wealthiest families is settled: the Zhou and Bei families’ wedding is set, the custom wedding dress costing over a hundred thousand has been completed, and the ceremony is just a month away.
But when her fiancé’s childhood sweetheart returns from abroad, his constant defense of her leaves Bei Ying utterly heartbroken.
The night before she calls off the engagement, Bei Ying dreams, and learns that she is the original wife who dies young in a tragic romance. Her fiancé’s elder brother, Zhou Yanshen, a refined and aloof man who holds the Zhou family’s power, has secretly loved her deeply and never married after her death.
With that in mind, Bei Ying changes her plans: marrying Zhou Yanshen seems like the better deal.
No one knows that Zhou Yanshen is plagued by strange dreams too. Ever since his younger brother got engaged to Bei Ying, he keeps dreaming of his future sister-in-law, eyes brimming with tears as she begs him, “Big Brother, please let me go.”
He tells himself he would never stoop to stealing his younger brother’s fiancée. But when he learns that Bei Ying wants to break off the engagement, a contract for a trillion-yuan partnership between their families happens to be right there on the table.
He makes a phone call, and a wedding switch that stuns the capital is settled.
Everyone thinks Zhou Yanshen married his younger brother’s intended bride as a sacrifice for the trillion-yuan project.
Until someone spots them outside a film set: the usually aloof power broker is holding Bei Ying tightly, his voice betraying both possessiveness and tenderness. “I was wrong, but if I ever see him bothering you again, I’ll have him blacklisted all over again.”
Everyone finally understands: his supposed “business deal” was nothing but an excuse for a man who didn’t even realize he was in love.
[He forced her to be his in their past life; this time, he fell in love at first sight]
