A Whirlwind Wedding: The CEO's Contract Bride Has a Way With Him

When desperate Su Ruanruan signs a marriage-substitution contract to pay for her mother’s exorbitant surgery, she never expects to awaken the ability to read minds.

On their wedding night, she hears her cold husband, Gu Xizhou, think, “Another one after my money.” But as they spend more time together, she begins to hear the thoughts beneath his icy exterior: “You think you can bully my woman?” when someone picks on her, and “Don’t cry. You’re making my heart ache,” when she’s sad.

Lin Weiwei’s schemes, the twists and turns of her musical dreams, and a childhood sweetheart’s heartfelt confession… Her mind-reading ability lets Su Ruanruan see through everyone’s disguise, and also reveals Gu Xizhou’s deepest secret: his heart belongs to a deceased woman he once loved, and their marriage is tied to a family contract that has endured for a century.

When her identity as a “substitute bride” is exposed before an audience at the finals, Gu Xizhou tears up the contract and shields her. “She’s the only person I want to spend my life with.” But the price of healing is devastating: he must use his heart’s blood to keep her alive, and in doing so, she sacrifices all her memories.

Three years later, the amnesiac Su Ruanruan returns to the stage. Beneath the spotlights of the Paris Opera, she finally remembers everything. When Gu Xizhou goes down on one knee again and asks her in front of the whole world, “Will you marry me again?” she nods through her tears.

From a marriage of convenience to true love, from a mind-reading curse to healing and redemption, two lonely souls eventually discover that real love needs no supernatural power to see into another’s mind. It can heal every insecurity and make each person the warmest light in the other’s life.
