[Marriage First, Love Later + Secret Marriage Contract + The Icy Tycoon Breaks His Rules + Mutual Healing]
[Rebellious genius cardiothoracic surgeon × Abstinent, scheming financial tycoon]
Shen Zhiyi and Jiang Yi’an have been secretly married for a year and legally married for three months. They share an apartment, yet have exchanged fewer than ten words.
She thinks of it as nothing more than a deal to appease the Shen family and has never imagined becoming involved with the aloof, desireless financial tycoon of whom everyone speaks.
Until one night, she comes home late and hears muffled groans from the second-floor bedroom. The sound is coming from her room.
That is when she discovers that the usually restrained Mr. Jiang has been drugged and lost control, breaking his rules for the first time in front of her.
Even more absurdly, after that he starts “crossing the line” again and again:
When she works the night shift until the early hours, he waits for her downstairs at the hospital, his face cold as he hands her a bowl of warm porridge;
When Miss Huo makes things difficult for her, he steps right in front of Shen Zhiyi, shielding her without hesitation and letting his imposing presence speak for itself;
When she hides in the study to video-call her brother, he leans against the doorframe and interrupts in a low voice: “Finished talking?”
Before the words have even left his mouth, he reaches out to shut her laptop, grips the back of her neck, and bends down to kiss her.
Only then does Shen Zhiyi belatedly realize that Mr. Jiang, who never used to lay a hand on her, has long since lost his composure because of her.
Good-looking, good-looking, a bit cruel
