[Marriage Before Love × Contract Marriage × Pure Romance, Happy Ending]
Character setup: A cold, abstinent CEO who is warm inside × A clear-eyed, resilient teacher
To save her grandmother, Shen Nian'an signs a marriage contract.
“Ten million for three years of your time. Behave yourself, and don't dream of anything else.” Her husband, Lu Shishen, is as cold as ice. He hasn't even set foot in her room.
He thinks she's a gold digger; she wants his money. A pleasant business arrangement, with nothing owed either way.
She diligently plays the “gold digger,” silently counting down the days until she can be free and take her grandmother far away.
Until one night, he pulls her into his arms and kisses her deeply in front of his sworn rival, his gaze dark.
Until he pins her beneath him and says in a hoarse, frantic voice, “The contract is void... I'll give you everything I own, my body and my heart. They're yours.”
# He thought he was buying a human shield, but ended up losing his whole heart #
At first: “Don't fall for me. It won't end well. You'll only get money.”
Later: “Wife, my money and my heart are both yours.”
