[Sweet romance + contract marriage + both leads are each other's first and only + happy ending + five-year age gap]
His perspective: He has been plotting this for a long time
Her perspective: Marriage first, love later
Xin Xi: “Brother Zonglin, will you marry me?”
He Zonglin: “If I remember correctly, your fiancé is Yan Che!”
“So what? He doesn't really want to marry me, and I don't want to marry him!”
The corner of the man's mouth lifted almost imperceptibly. “So you're saying you want to marry me?”
He Zonglin, head of the He Group in Jingbei, was refined, composed, thoughtful, and decisive. But rumors in their social circle claimed he was interested in men.
Xin Xi, meanwhile, was a lively, radiant, spirited jewelry designer. She had been forced into an arranged childhood engagement, but as the years passed, her fiancé turned into a spoiled playboy who studied nothing and cared for nothing.
Unable to break off the engagement, she came up with the plan above in desperation.
She wanted to use the head of the He family, a man she believed could never fall for a woman, to escape this absurd family alliance.
She thought she had considered everything and had victory in the bag. Little did she know that from the moment she first entertained the idea, she had already fallen into the trap he had been waiting so long to set.
He Zonglin: “Becoming Mrs. He was all part of my careful plan.”
