[Marriage Before Love]
[Playboy He Yujie x Sweet, Sensible Heiress Fallen on Hard Times]
[Love at First Sight + The Pursuit After the Breakup]
Pei Shuyi had once been a rich young lady from a prestigious family in the capital, with loving parents and a caring older brother.
Then her father fell victim to a scam, and the Pei family went bankrupt overnight, owing tens of millions in debt. Both her parents were hospitalized, while her older brother, a doctor working abroad, could not be reached. The burden of the whole family fell on Pei Shuyi overnight.
All her friends disappeared in an instant.
Su Linan, her childhood friend and longtime crush, never said anything to insult her, but his excuses and reasons all amounted to obeying his mother's orders and staying away from her.
With debt collectors after her every day and the hospital bills piling up, Pei Shuyi was at her wits' end.
Then she suddenly thought of the one person in their circle who wasn't under his family's control.
He Yujie.
And, as it happened, he was Su Linan's sworn enemy.

At the golf course.
"Mr. He, I'm here to ask you for a favor."
"I don't remember us knowing each other."
"Please marry me..."
It was both salvation and a trap!
He was arrogant and aloof.
And so began a marriage contract in which they were forbidden to fall in love. During their time together, Pei Shuyi broke the agreement and asked for a divorce.
Years later.
"Mr. He, what we had was a mistake, but I'm still grateful to you for helping me when I was at my lowest."
"Pei Shuyi, I'm sorry. Three years ago today, I failed to calm you down, and you acted on impulse. That was my fault."
"He Yujie, you're just as confident as ever. How do you know I left you on impulse back then?"
"I was the one acting on impulse. Come back to me."
