[Marriage Before Love + Two Strong Leads + Devoted to Each Other + Sweet Romance + Slow-Burn + Married Life + Powerful Man Bows His Head]
For Zhou Chen, marrying a washed-up actress with a mountain of scandals was simply a matter of weighing his options.
He had no intention of falling in love with her.
A mere canary wasn’t worth much effort to maintain.
For Ji Xingyao, after her career was driven to the brink by her ex’s fickleness, a marriage alliance was her last hope.
She needed the fame and fortune Zhou Chen could bring her. Love was the one thing she didn’t need.
She didn’t care about Zhou Chen’s disdain and neglect.
Who would turn down tangible benefits?
Before the wedding, Zhou Chen made his position clear.
“I can give you anything you want, except love.”
Ji Xingyao pretended to be hurt. “What if I insist on having your love?”
Zhou Chen put on a cold, resentful expression. “You’re asking for too much.”
Later.
Zhou Chen: “Where are you going? With whom? What time will you be back?”
Ji Xingyao: “?”
