Marriage first, love later. Domineering CEO. Both leads are devoted to each other, one-on-one.
Love isn’t about obsessive possession. It means growing independently and together, with respect, trust, and open communication.
Faced with an exorbitantly expensive divorce agreement and a marriage pact promising mutual courtesy and respect, Wen Li chose the marriage pact without hesitation.
Gu Jingchen didn’t need love in his marriage, and neither did she.
Being married would spare her a lot of trouble, especially from the suitors she just couldn’t seem to shake.
Wen Li knew that she was from a remote little town. If her grandfather hadn’t saved Mr. Gu’s life, she never would have become the Gu family’s daughter-in-law. So her only demand was that the marriage preserve her status as a married woman and the protection of the Gu family.
But who could have predicted that the man who promised to treat her with courtesy and respect after the wedding would cling to her every night, even getting jealous enough to drop his refined facade and hit someone?
Because of her parents, Wen Li kept her distance from love. So when she realized how possessive Gu Jingchen’s love was, her sense of security collapsed, and she asked for a divorce.
Gu Jingchen had always thought Wen Li was a stone that could never be warmed. But when she asked for a divorce, he saw her fear and pain, and his eyes reddened with heartache.
