[Marriage First, Love Later + The Powerful One Bows His Head + Sweet Romance]
After two years of marriage, Jiang Xu and Ming Qingchen are still strangers. Jiang Xu doesn't like her. In fact, after their wedding, he signed an agreement with her stipulating that they would divorce amicably after three years.
Ming Qingchen accepted it calmly. After all, the Ming family was worlds apart from the Jiang family, one of the country's most powerful families. She wasn't even the Ming family's biological daughter, just an adopted one.
Everyone was laughing at her, waiting for the day the Jiang family would throw her out.

Then one day, she placed the divorce agreement on his desk. When he saw it, he gritted his teeth in fury.
He rushed after her, only to find her chatting and laughing with her childhood friend, a gentle smile on her pretty face that she'd never shown him.
Ming Qingchen was pinned inside a women's restroom stall. The man gripped her waist, his sharp, dark eyes filled with a storm.
“Have you made up your mind to divorce me?”
Ming Qingchen was frightened and bewildered. “M-Mr. Jiang, wasn't that what we agreed to in our contract?”
“Don't call me Mr. Jiang!” he snapped, losing control for the first time.
Then he leaned in to kiss her, his voice almost pleading.
“Call me your husband, okay?”
“Let's not get divorced. I don't want to be apart from you.”
“Don't love anyone else. Love me. Please love me, okay, Chenchen?”
He was aloof and rational, with no interest in romance, yet he watched himself fall deeper and deeper until there was no way back.
