Love After a Beijing Wedding: I Want a Divorce, So Why Is CEO Gu Making This So Complicated?

[Marriage first, love later + five-year age gap + powerful man humbled by love + both leads' first and only love] Sensitive, gentle sweetheart × scheming, fatherly CEO · sweet married-life fluff Su Qingwan had spent twenty years as the eldest daughter of the Su family. Then her true background came to light, and she became the fake heiress who had stolen another girl's place. She wasn't about to play the saint or put on a tragic act. Instead, she went straight to the Gu family's door. “I hear you need a daughter-in-law?” Once the marriage was settled, she finally met her bargain-bin husband on the day they registered their marriage. “Mrs. Gu,” he said. “It's a pleasure doing business with you.” The day after the wedding, he flew overseas and stayed away for a whole year. Su Qingwan was delighted to have the place to herself. With an astronomical allowance and a mansion to live in, she didn't have to wait on her in-laws or deal with her husband. It was practically paradise. That is, until Gu Shiyu came back a year later and laid down three rules. “Don't fall in love with me. Don't overstep your bounds. Don't make our marriage public. “Fulfill your duties as husband and wife, and keep each other satisfied.” Su Qingwan agreed to everything, all the while secretly plotting a divorce. Later, her divorce papers landed on his office desk. Gu Shiyu smiled, but his eyes were bloodshot. He cleared everyone out of the conference room, raced home, and pulled the woman who was about to leave into his arms. Resting his chin on her head, he spoke in a choked, trembling voice: “The three rules are canceled.” “Wanwan, I regret it.” The famously aloof Mr. Gu now pleaded with red-rimmed eyes: “Give me another chance, hmm?” Su Qingwan pushed his face away and smiled sweetly. “Mr. Gu, terminating a contract takes paperwork. Get in line first.” That night, the CEO who said one thing and did another posted on the fan forum: What do I do when my wife is such a stickler for the rules? Waiting online, and I'm kind of desperate.
