On her wedding day, Wen Sui personally destroyed her own wedding.
Her fiance had cheated on her with the deputy she had personally mentored. Worse, he planned to seize the project she led after their marriage and kick her out for good.
Everyone thought she was finished.
But two hours later, she turned around and registered her marriage to her fiance's eldest brother, a cool and ruthless man who never meddled in family affairs.
Others laughed and called her crazy. Only Wen Sui knew this wasn't an act of spite. It was her comeback.
She used the marriage to protect her career and settle accounts with those who had betrayed her. He used her to pry open the He family's polished facade and force everyone to reshuffle the cards.
At first, they discussed nothing but mutual interests, never their true feelings.
Later, her ex regretted everything, her deputy went mad, and the He family began treating her as a pawn to be discarded.
Everyone waited for this marriage of convenience to fall apart and for her to come crashing down from her high perch.
But what they were waiting for was not a divorce.
Instead, the man who had never made an exception for anyone gradually drew her into his arms and kept her safe.
