After Becoming His Substitute Bride, I Turned the Capital's Playboy Into a Good Boy

【Cool, aloof jewelry designer vs. free-spirited Beijing playboy➕marriage before love➕the playboy’s redemption arc➕“fake playboy,” “real feelings”】 On their wedding night, Lu Qisheng pinned Jiang Linyin beneath him. Reeking of alcohol, he slipped a hand inside her collar and bit her earlobe with a laugh. “The Jiang family sent you here, didn’t they? So I could sleep with you?” Jiang Linyin didn’t struggle. She simply looked at him calmly. “Second Young Master Lu, once you’re done, will you still remember what I look like tomorrow?” Lu Qisheng paused. Then he laughed, let her go, and fell straight asleep. After all, he never remembered the women he slept with. By day, they were Beijing’s most loving couple. At a Lu family banquet, Lu Qisheng wrapped an arm around her waist, called her “baby” at every turn, and fed her food in front of all the elders. Jiang Linyin blushed and lowered her head, as shy as a little rabbit. Then they went into the bedroom and shut the door. Lu Qisheng loosened his tie and sprawled on the chaise by the window. “Acting all day has worn me out. Don’t come over here.” Jiang Linyin was already burrowing under the covers. “Don’t worry. I’m not interested in a stud.” “Who are you calling a stud?” “Whoever answers.” This woman was damn interesting. Later, he started making excuses to climb into bed. “The chaise is too hard.” “There’s a draft by the window.” “I paid a bride price.” Any lousy excuse would do. Jiang Linyin couldn’t be bothered to answer. He would sneak over while she was asleep, then pretend nothing had happened the next morning. Eventually, all of Beijing was saying that the Lu family’s playboy had married a stand-in bride and finally settled down. Only Lu Qisheng knew the truth. He hadn’t settled down. He’d given her his whole heart.
