[Marriage First, Love Later + Substitute Bride + Both Leads Are Virgins + HE + Sweet Romance + Career Building + Sweet Love, Painful Family Ties]
After a family crisis and her younger sister’s elopement, Xu Ningxi is forced to take her sister’s place and marry Zhou Jinghuai, the disabled heir to the Zhou family.
Unable to resist, Xu Ningxi is led to the wedding altar, only to discover that the heir is devastatingly handsome and tall. He looks nothing like the disabled man in the rumors.
Her mother’s words, “You must make sure the marriage is consummated,” leave Xu Ningxi utterly disheartened.
Even after the wedding, Xu Ningxi clings to a sliver of hope for a loving family, only to be exploited by her parents and younger sister at every turn.
Her parents say, as if it were only natural, “Your place as Mrs. Zhou was always meant for your sister. You have to give it back to its rightful owner.” At last, Xu Ningxi understands that she is nothing more than an object to be used and traded.
So she tears away the pretense, cuts off her family ties, and returns every bit of mistreatment she has endured over the years.
Zhou Jinghuai, heir to the Zhou family, was left disabled after an accident.
Already a reserved and aloof man, he became a “robot” devoid of emotion.
The top-tier star of high society suddenly gets married?
The rumored celibate who keeps women at arm’s length? Not a chance. Once he gets a taste, he’s unstoppable.
A man of few words, cold and aloof? Then who’s this man who comes to pick up his wife every day?
When Xu Ningxi’s identity as a substitute bride is exposed, she plans to leave, but her husband doesn’t seem surprised at all.
Even her parents-in-law remain perfectly calm.
Now Xu Ningxi is the one who can’t keep calm.
Wait, you all knew who I was?
When Xu Ningxi goes to a bar, she unexpectedly saves an obscure male star and a stunningly beautiful waitress. This sets her on the path to success in the entertainment industry.
Just when she thinks everything is finally getting better, a banquet throws her peaceful life into disarray.
