Synopsis

[Mature man and woman, rekindled romance, reunion after years apart, flirtatious passion, coercive love, stealing someone else's partner, sweet and angsty, happy ending]

(Heiress to a prominent Beijing family × powerful tycoon at the helm of a top conglomerate)

Duan Jixiao was the ex who had gotten Wen Su the most hopelessly hooked.

The day they broke up, he gave her plenty of reasons. The one she remembered most was: “You’re suited for marriage, but not for me.”

Six years later, they unexpectedly meet again.

Wen Su thought he would go on living a carefree life, enjoying himself with women.

She never expected to see a ring on his left ring finger.

A playboy finally settling down?

Not even close.

After their reunion, he unexpectedly became her sugar daddy.

Just when things between them were at their most passionate, Wen Su decisively dumped him.

Later, in Hong Kong, she arrived with her newlywed husband, whom she had just registered her marriage with, while his fiancée was by his side.

After a few drinks, she accidentally walked into the wrong room.

The man's low chuckle sounded dangerous and chilling. “A canary dares to dump her sugar daddy? Who gave you the nerve?”

Something dangerous pressed against her forehead. She didn't dare move, so she put on a smile and nestled against his legs, acting sweet and meek. “Big brother, I missed you so much.”

He gripped her chin. “Oh? Let’s see just how much you missed me.”

Once he had dirt on her, she was forced to become his little bird in a cage again.

“If you want to protect your reputation, you’ll do exactly as I say.”

Then came the wedding day, filled with celebration and endless applause from family and friends.

She saw the person walking toward her. It was him!

Only then did she realize: this marriage had been a trap from the very beginning, kept secret from everyone, designed to bind her to him for the rest of her life!

If I can’t win her heart, I’ll find a way to marry her.

A Forced Marriage, With the Male Lead Falling for the Female Lead at First Sight

922Books43.2MViews13hUpdated

Looking for That Bittersweet, Satisfying Feeling, but Not a Truly Angsty Story

It can't be a truly tragic story! I want something where the hero misunderstands the heroine, she leaves, and he has to suffer while trying to win her back. Or where other people know the heroine is awful and unfaithful, but still fall in love with her despite their conflicted feelings. I love melodramatic misunderstandings that make your throat feel tight. They're so satisfying.
