[Marriage First, Love Later / Both Leads Are Devoted to Each Other / A Guiding Lover / Healing / Five-Year Age Gap]
[Gentle, Soft-Hearted Beauty x Flirtatious, Ruthless Heir]
Jian Shuning wanted to get rich, but wound up getting herself into trouble instead.
Pei Ye, the sole heir to the Pei family, was the most dangerous man in the capital. Rumor had it he was violent-tempered and ruthless, and by the age of twenty-eight, he had already reached the very top of the power hierarchy.
She begged him to reduce her ten-million-yuan penalty.
He casually laid out his terms: “Let’s make a deal. I need a wife.”
One billion yuan to clear her debts and help her rebuild the family business.
In return, she would spend two years married to him and do everything a wife was expected to do in the truest sense of the word.
Everyone said Jian Shuning was marrying above her station, that she was nothing but a canary Pei Ye had decided on a whim to keep in a cage.
Until one day, someone saw the high-and-mighty, mercurial heir of the Pei family crouched on the floor, clumsily bandaging a cut on her finger. His eyes were rimmed with red, and his voice was hoarse as he said:
“Baby, it won’t hurt anymore. Hubby’s here.”
But one day, Jian Shuning suddenly realized that this marriage deal had been his scheme from beginning to end.
The broken supply chain, the contract with its exorbitant penalty: he had orchestrated it all just to put a “marriage partnership” in front of her.
She turned around. Pei Ye had appeared behind her at some point.
He looked at her reddened eyes and was silent for two seconds.
“What, thinking of running away?”
