[Clear-headed heroine + long-laid plans + regret and redemption + husband’s desperate pursuit + male lead’s secret identity revealed]
[Cool, rational good girl vs. master manipulator who knows how to play innocent and keep his patience]
A month before her wedding, Ji Ling catches her fiancé cheating.
Heartbroken, she calls off the engagement in front of everyone.
Then she heads alone to a small town in the south to clear her head.
Along the way, she runs into an incredibly persistent man.
Like a ghost, he keeps “accidentally” showing up wherever she goes.
After an accident, she opens her eyes to find herself lying in his arms.
They may not have done anything, but it feels like they did… They spend the whole night making out.
Ji Ling decides to go all in and marries the man on the spot.
He’s handsome, after all. She has nothing to lose.
--
The day after they register their marriage,
Jiang Yanqiu, the sole heir to the top-tier Jiang Group, one of the capital’s most powerful families, suddenly announces his marriage.
But no one knows who his new wife is, where she is, or which family she comes from. No one in the Jiang family has any idea, either.
The announcement sends the capital’s elite into an uproar.
What Ji Ling doesn’t know is that the man she married in a whirlwind is Jiang Yanqiu, the heir to Jiang Group. He has simply changed his name to “Jiang Qiu.”
The truth can’t stay hidden forever. Ji Ling eventually discovers who he really is.
Rather than making a scene, she calmly looks at the man who deceived her and asks to break up.
“Did you hide your identity because you were afraid I’d go after your family’s fortune?”
“I was a fool to misjudge you. Let’s part on good terms.”
Ji Ling leaves him with those final words of despair, then resolutely goes abroad the next day.
From then on, the all-powerful king of the capital begins his international quest to win back his wife.
