A Fated Marriage: Somehow, You’re the One I Want

Shen Nian is a decisive mergers-and-acquisitions hunter in the financial world. Cool, forceful, and seemingly flawless in public, she privately carries the burden of old debts and has endured countless hardships alone. To repay the debts her mother left behind, she signs a contract and marries Lu Yanshen, the Lu Corporation president everyone in the industry fears. Outsiders all say Shen Nian has married above her station, and that her marriage to the cold, taciturn, and unsociable “Lu Hell King” is nothing but a mutually beneficial deal: one year, then they go their separate ways. But no one knows that this hasty contract marriage is the culmination of an obsession he has kept alive for twenty years. The world sees only his ruthless decisiveness and cold distance. No one knows how fiercely protective and quietly tender he is in private. He secretly clears away the obstacles she faces at work, quietly visits the graves of those she has lost, and gives every clumsy, wholehearted expression of affection to her alone. A tug-of-war over the contract, power plays at work, growing intimacy, and pretense slowly turning real. Just as Shen Nian begins to fall and believes their feelings are finally becoming mutual, buried secrets from the past are suddenly exposed. Misunderstandings pile up, and their love teeters on the verge of breaking apart. A long-awaited reunion after twenty years apart, and a mutual salvation that begins with a deal and ends in deep devotion. After all the twists and turns, amid countless people, it turns out that every meeting and every moment of waiting, every tenderness and every show of favor, was always meant for you, and could only ever be you.
