Autumn Hues Await

Ye Zhiqiu, once a celebrated socialite in Shanghai, fell from the heights overnight. Her father went bankrupt and died, her mother was hospitalized with a serious illness, and the family business fell apart. Meanwhile, Gu Zeyan, the rising tech star she had casually overlooked at a banquet years ago, had become a business legend in AI.

“Marry me, and the Gu family will settle all the Ye family’s debts.”

“Why me?”

“Because you need it, and I’m willing.”

She was the one who proposed the arranged marriage; for him, it was a contract he had waited ten years to make. Ye Zhiqiu thought it was her last chance to save her family, unaware that he had played out this move in his mind thousands of times.

Beneath the parasol tree when she was seventeen, she was the unattainable love he didn’t dare touch. After ten years of biding his time, he had risen to the top and finally earned her attention.

When the secret of his unrequited love was revealed, the truth behind the contract came to light, and old grievances resurfaced, could a marriage that began with mutual benefit end in love?

“Gu Zeyan, did you marry me to get revenge for being ignored back then, or because you love me?”

“Ye Zhiqiu, my algorithms never make mistakes. But meeting you was the one thing in my life I couldn’t control, and the most beautiful surprise of all.”
