Beyond the Engagement, Marrying a Divorced Man in His Second Marriage

When I was twenty, my family went bankrupt.

My father’s business partner framed him and got him sent to prison. My mother and I moved from our villa into a north-facing rental, and our creditors chased us through seven different homes.

When we were at the end of our rope, my mother arranged a marriage for me:

Li Xu, thirty years old, head of the Li Group, divorced, and handsome enough to have stepped straight out of a financial news headline.

He needed a convenient marriage to appease his family. I needed money to clean up the mess.

We each got what we wanted, with no strings attached.
