Marriage First, Love Later/Wealthy CEO/Nian Shang/Gao Tian
A good girl with a pure appearance vs a cold and abstinent man with an appearance
Introduction to the novel:
Chu Xingyan never thought that she would marry Gu Jinzhou on behalf of her half-sister.
That dignified and cold man was once her "brother-in-law", the heir to the Gu Group in Beijing, and a business legend with constant scandals. And she was just a pawn used by the Chu family to save the situation, a "replacement" who had been frail and sick since childhood and was not welcomed.
On the second day of their wedding, he went abroad on business and she returned to school to get her diploma. They reunited a month later, and the two began a married life that seemed to be in harmony but yet apart from each other under the same roof. He thought she was just a well-behaved and obedient vase, and she thought he was just a scumbag who never refused to come. Until that night when she fell asleep with a fever, he leaned over to give her medicine; until she took him back to her parents' home, and after being slapped by her father, he held her hand and said, "Whoever bullied her, I will definitely take it back."
From alienation to temptation, from misunderstanding to closeness, two people with different hearts and minds slowly come into contact with each other's true warmth in this marriage where each gets what they need. But when the shadows of the past, family calculations, and scandals follow one after another, can they find the bottom line called "loyalty" in the cold interest relationship?
She asked: "If you have someone outside, we will divorce."
He answered: "No."
She asked again: "The most important thing for a husband and wife is loyalty, what do you think?"
He looked into her eyes: "I think so too."
