On the day she was recognized by the Lin family, Jiang Wan sat at the recognition banquet for three hours and understood one thing: what this family lost was not their daughter, but a chess piece used for marriage.
The fake daughter cried so much that the wealthy family who had raised her for twenty-six years was reluctant to part with her; but the famously cold-hearted heir of the Gu family spoke across a table of delicacies -
"Marriage is okay. I want the real one."
The house was full of color. Jiang Wan put down her chopsticks and smiled.
Want her to be a chess piece? Yes, but the chess move must be based on what she wrote. As a former M&A paralegal, she drafted the engagement contract overnight, with a nine-digit penalty, and the first clause was written in black and white:
Neither party in a marriage is allowed to have real feelings for each other. Whoever is tempted will purify himself and leave the house.
Gu Xingjian didn't even raise his eyelids when he signed: "Don't worry, I have no heart."
Later, everyone in Lancheng saw that Mr. Gu broke his engagement in public and accepted a nine-digit fine - just to block a basin of dirty water for her.
