[A clear-headed, free-spirited, flirtatious sweetheart X a devoted, restrained big shot who acts aloof]
[Marriage first, love later + love at first sight + loving the older brother or loving freedom + an eight-year age gap + 1v1]
Jiang Qiyue went to the UK to unwind and ended up having a one-night stand.
When she woke up, she hadn't even gotten a clear look at her hookup's face before running off.
The day she returned home, she found out she was to marry the youngest son of the Lu family, a notorious playboy.
Jiang Qiyue: A wealthy family, a husband who's never home, and a happy life. Here I come!
On the wedding day, her intended turned out to be Lu Heng, the head of the Lu family.
Jiang Qiyue: He's handsome too. Works for me. I'll seduce him.

Lu Heng went to the UK on a business trip. At a friend's bar, a drunk young woman clung to him and kissed him. She was fair-skinned and beautiful, with long legs, a delicate, supple figure, and every feature matched his tastes. After decades of abstinence, Lu Heng gave in.
With the young woman in his arms, he had already planned when they'd marry and where their children would go to school.
But when he woke up, she had run off, leaving behind payment for his services.
He chased her back to China, only to learn that she was going to marry his younger half-brother.
Lu Heng's face turned cold. Who dared to marry her?
He won the marriage, only to discover on their engagement day that the young woman had forgotten him. Lu Heng could only smile bitterly.
Lu Heng dealt with the Lu family's attempts to make things difficult for her and put a stop to the Jiang family's snide remarks.
But he pretended not to love her. It was punishment for trying to run away.
-
Lu Heng turned love into a prison, while Jiang Qiyue, a bird yearning for freedom, willingly stayed in the cage called love.
