On My First Day Out of the Army, the CEO Tricked Me into Getting a Marriage License

On the day he left the military, border guard Xiao Mochen received a message: “Nine o’clock. Civil Affairs Bureau. Don’t be late.”

The sender was Ye Wantang, the youngest female CEO in Linjiang City.

They had never met and had no connection whatsoever. Yet she had paid off his family’s three-million-yuan debt, mailed the army a signed marriage application, and even filled in the words “Approved by the authorities” for him.

Xiao Mochen thought she was crazy.

Ye Wantang handed him an agreement: a fake marriage, a monthly salary of 50,000, and a divorce after one year. His condition was that he play the part of her husband in front of the Ye family’s old residence.

He needed money to pay off his debts; she needed a shield. It was a transaction that suited them both.

But when Xiao Mochen moved into her villa, he discovered a yellowed photograph hidden in her bedroom. The girl in it was smiling brightly, while the face of the boy beside her had been deliberately obscured.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that the person whose face was hidden... looked exactly like him.

Meanwhile, undercurrents swirled in the business world, and a family feud was on the verge of erupting. Ye Wantang’s cousin watched her like a hawk, wealthy suitors pursued her relentlessly, and a mysterious force had set its sights on Xiao Mochen.

An old photograph from ten years ago, a life-saving rescue on a rainy night, and a wealthy heir who was supposed to be “dead.”

As the wheels of fate began to turn, Xiao Mochen finally understood:

This marriage wasn’t about tricking him into signing the papers. She had tricked him into coming back.

He saved her ten years ago. Ten years later, it was her turn to protect him.
