After I Transmigrate into a Book and Become a Substitute Bride to a Powerful Beijing Aristocrat, He Spoils Me to Tears

[Transmigrate into a book + marriage first, love later + Beijing elite circle + older powerful man + sweet, gentle beauty + indulgent feel-good romance]

Shen Niantang wakes up one day to find she's transmigrated into a story about Beijing's wealthy elite.

Her identity? The “substitute bride” the Shen family bundled up and sent away like a piece of merchandise.

Her husband? Lu Yanzhi, the most powerful man in Beijing's elite circles, cold-blooded and ruthless.

The original ending? Crushed by the heroine, sold off by her scumbag father, betrayed by her own sister, and finally killed in a car crash, without even a whole body left behind.

Shen Niantang: ...I'm out. I'm not taking this role.

She has it all planned out: stay away from the male lead, save enough money to run, and make a graceful exit.

But why is the plot going so wrong?

Weren't the aloof big shots supposed to be cold and heartless? So why is he making her soup in the middle of the night?

Wasn't the heroine supposed to be his one true love? So why doesn't he even bat an eyelid when Su Wanqing comes back?

Wasn't she just a pawn in their marriage alliance? So why does someone block the door every time she packs her bags?

Lu Yanzhi pins her against the door, his voice low and husky. “Shen Niantang, when you married me, didn't anyone tell you that things belonging to the Lu family aren't allowed to run away?”

Shen Niantang: “...”

Wait, in the original story, you couldn't care less about me, could you???

Watching the icy-faced devil bow and scrape to his sweet little wife, the Beijing elite collectively question their lives:

“What kind of bewitching potion did she give Master Lu?”

Only Lu Yanzhi knows the truth:

It isn't a bewitching potion.

She's the only person in this life he wants to keep by his side.
