A Mutual Marriage Swap: My Playboy Husband Is a Hidden Big Shot

The legitimate daughter of the Su family in Hucheng elopes, leaving Su Qingyan, an orphan from a collateral branch, to be forced into marriage by her uncle. She is made to marry in her place the Gu family’s eldest son, rumored to be paralyzed in both legs.

At the wedding, the hand she grasps is not frail and cold, but warm and strong. She looks up to see a tall, straight-backed man with roguish good looks. He doesn’t look disabled at all!

Su Qingyan immediately realizes the truth: she is a substitute bride, and he is a fake groom.

Gu Xingci, the Gu family’s second son, is a notorious playboy. To find his missing older brother and protect his critically ill mother, he is forced to take on the identity of Gu Yanchen.

At their first meeting, both have their own plans: “Let’s play the perfect couple and stay out of each other’s way.”

But the face-slapping comes fast...

Su Qingyan takes on the Su family’s worst offenders, reclaims her inheritance, and founds a tech company that stuns Hucheng. Gu Xingci drops his disguise, turns the Gu family’s fortunes around, hacks into the Lin family’s systems to expose a mole, and earns the respect of Hucheng’s bigwigs.

The Su family uncle regrets it bitterly. “Qingyan, come back to the Su family!” She smiles. “I’m the mistress of the Gu family. The Su family’s door isn’t worthy of me.”

Su Qingyuan returns from eloping and tries to steal the groom, shouting, “Gu Yanchen is mine!” Gu Xingci pulls Su Qingyan into his arms and kisses her. “Look carefully. She is Gu Xingci’s wife, in this life and the next.”

Later, the missing Gu Yanchen appears, the truth behind the elopement comes to light, and the Lin family’s shocking conspiracy is exposed.

Su Qingyan leans against his shoulder. “Did you come out ahead or lose in this substitute marriage?” He tilts her chin, eyes full of affection. “I got a wife, and a lifetime of happiness.”

They are each other’s substitutes, and each other’s perfect match. From a contract marriage to a life of splendor, it’s sweet beyond belief and immensely satisfying.
