After Rejecting the Marriage, I Eloped with My Intended Match

*A scheming CEO with actress-level acting skills who has plotted for a long time x a laid-back tattoo artist who just wants to get by *Marriage first, love later | Long-planned scheme | Switch | Happy ending The Bai Company was poorly managed and on the verge of bankruptcy. Just when they were at their wits' end, the Lu Group offered to help, on the condition that Bai Yu marry into the Lu family. Bai Yu had been estranged from the Bai family for years and didn't care whether they survived or went under. There was no way she would marry someone she'd never met, whose name she didn't even know. Feeling irritable, she invited a friend out for drinks. “I heard the eldest young lady of the Lu family is a ruthless ice queen.” Bai Yu replied casually, “Then I definitely can't marry her. I only like gentle, beautiful older women.” Her friend had to leave early, and a strikingly beautiful woman came over to chat. The woman admitted that she was in a similar situation. The alcohol went to their heads, and they spent one night together. Bai Yu thought it was a one-night fling they both wanted. But when she woke up, the woman suddenly changed her tune: “Let's get married. We'll each get what we want.” On impulse, Bai Yu got a marriage license with her one-night stand to foil the Bai family's scheme. After the wedding, her wife, Chu Huaizheng, was gentle and considerate, indulging her in every way. This unexpected marriage was far more comfortable than Bai Yu had imagined. What began as a marriage of convenience turned into a real relationship. Then one day, Bai Yu discovered that the woman sharing her bed was the eldest young lady of the Lu family, the very woman in all those rumors. The gentle partner she thought she knew was nothing but an act put on by Chu Huaizheng. Their marriage had been a carefully planned deception from beginning to end. Bai Yu was furious. “Divorce!” Even after her identity was exposed, Chu Huaizheng didn't look the least bit flustered. She advanced step by step, trapping Bai Yu in her arms, her voice seductive and dangerous. “Didn't you say you liked gentle, beautiful older women? Am I not gentle enough, or not beautiful enough?” “You said I could ask for a divorce whenever I was unhappy. Are you going back on your word?!” Chu Huaizheng's burning lips brushed Bai Yu's vulnerable neck, revealing all the madness and obsession hidden in her eyes. “I only said you could ask. I never said I'd agree.” Theme: Love must be actively pursued.
