After a Flash Marriage to a Powerful Tycoon, I Turn Out to Be Her Beloved

At our engagement banquet, my fiancée of many years publicly called off the wedding. Her words were full of contempt and disdain as she declared that I wasn't good enough for her.

Just as all the guests were mocking me, Lu Mingyi, head of a top financial dynasty in Hong Kong, appeared before me.

She was my former fiancée's elder, and the one person in all of Hong Kong no one dared to offend. Yet now she looked only at me and said earnestly, “If you're willing, we can go register our marriage right now. I'll give you a status that will make everyone look up to you.”

I was a retired special forces operative, and I had a special mission that required a suitable cover identity. So I accepted her proposal and became, in the eyes of outsiders, an ordinary man living off Lu Mingyi.

People in our circle laughed that I was just a tool Lu Mingyi used to placate her family. Even my former fiancée, who had broken off our engagement, came to warn me that Lu Mingyi had always had someone in her heart whom no one could replace.

But only I knew that the aloof, distant Lu Mingyi everyone else saw was always gentle and attentive with me, putting me first in everything.

Then one day, an accident led me to open the safe she never showed anyone. Inside, carefully preserved, was an old lighter: something I had accidentally left behind years ago.

Only then did I realize that the person she'd remembered for all those years, the one she'd cherished above all else, was me.

Later, when danger struck and someone tried to hurt Lu Mingyi, I stopped hiding my abilities. I swept away every threat and stood resolutely in front of her.

I wanted to tell her that for the rest of her life, I would be the one she loved most.
