The Cunning CEO Falls Hard

[Heiress × scheming CEO × marriage before love] To dodge her family’s constant pressure to marry, Bai Xixue strikes a “contract marriage” deal with Feng Xu, the all-powerful CEO of the Feng Corporation in the capital. On the day they register their marriage, they agree on three rules: keep it from their families and out of the public eye; act like a loving couple at home; and treat each other like strangers in front of other people. Bai Xixue thinks it’s just a farcical arrangement that benefits them both, but as they spend day after day together, Feng Xu’s possessiveness and deep affection gradually break through his defenses. He personally brings her a hot meal when she works late, stands up for her the moment she is wronged, and hides all his tenderness behind a mask of indifference. Just as Bai Xixue decides the time is right to end their “game,” Feng Xu’s eyes turn red as he grips her wrist and says, each word deliberate, “Want a divorce? Only over my dead body.” From a contract marriage to obsessive devotion, the scheming tycoon falls harder with every step, all because the woman is Bai Xixue.
