The Mad Dog Bites the Rose

[Marriage First, Love Later] [Wealthy Family's Illegitimate Son] [Five-Year Age Gap] [Neither Has Loved Before]

(Fake) playboy VS gentle and clear-eyed (pretend)

-

The Shang and Jiang families had been bound by an engagement for years.

Jiang Hao had been raised from childhood to be the Shang family's future daughter-in-law. She was learned and courteous, blessed with a keen mind and a gentle, beautiful appearance, the true definition of a society heiress in the eyes of Lin City's elite.

But just before the engagement, the Shang family's eldest son, who had always put the greater good first and followed propriety, personally overturned this "feudal marriage alliance" with his first love...

The two families had been tied together by their shared interests for so long that, after a few turns of events, the marriage fell to the Shang family's second son, Shang Chiyu.

-

Jiang Hao's heart was broken.

Everyone knew that the second young master of the Shang family was idle and wildly promiscuous. She wanted no part of him, but for the sake of her family's interests, she had no choice but to marry him.

-

In Shang Chiyu's words, Jiang Hao was the woman his older brother had rejected, a boring goody-goody.

Marrying her was a stopgap measure. They would set three rules, stay out of each other's way, and go their separate ways when the time came.

As it happened, his new bride had the same idea.

But just as he was congratulating himself, he discovered by chance that Jiang Hao not only didn't love him, she had brazenly cheated on him!

He couldn't stand it, and he wouldn't put up with it.

So he went off the rails, doing everything he could to force her to fall in love with him...

-

Jiang Hao had a terrible impression of Shang Chiyu.

At first, he was a playboy. Later, he was like a mad dog...

Disliking him was only natural.

Falling in love with him was completely unexpected.
