[Marriage First, Love Later] [Overbearing CEO] [Putting Trash in Its Place] [Sweet Romance] [Adorable Kids]
[Bold, Passionate Heiress vs. Devoted, Dominant Tycoon]
At the Fu family banquet, Jiang Li played a video in front of everyone, tearing away the cover-up of her fiancé Fu Yuxuan's affair.
Overnight, she went from being the Fu family's eldest grandson's fiancée to the laughingstock of all Jiangcheng.
No one expected that the very next day, she would take Fu Yuxuan's uncle, Fu Siyan, the man in charge of the Fu family, by the arm and go straight to register their marriage.
"I need someone to marry."
"Why me?"
"Because you're clean."
Fu Siyan was one of Jiangcheng's most powerful figures: ruthless and indifferent to women. Everyone assumed this marriage was a scheme by Jiang Li to marry above her station. Only he knew the truth:
He had read every project report she'd written since joining the company, and looked into every injustice she'd swallowed in silence.
"If you're upset, you can cry."
He had waited so long to say those words.
In this mutually beneficial arrangement, he gave her money, connections, and a safety net:
"If you want justice, I'll get it for you. If you want revenge, I'll put the knife in your hand."
Jiang Li thought she had married a powerful ally, a bargaining chip to bring down the Jiang family.
It wasn't until her rotten ex knelt before her and called her "Auntie," her scheming stepsister was so furious she nearly spat blood over the trending news, and she dealt with every last one of the Fu family's monstrous relatives...
that she realized the way this man looked at her had never been about a transaction.
He had planned this for a long time. He had been waiting for her all along.
