Tomorrow, We're Getting Married [Marriage Before Love]

Strangers to Lovers After an Arranged Marriage | Intense Push and Pull | The Powerful One Bows His Head

Barely knew each other before the wedding, wild passion after

Gentle, flirtatious Jiangnan beauty x austere, celibate Beijing aristocrat

1.

Huo Chengyu is the head of a century-old family in Jingzhou. Austere and dignified, noble and restrained, he is like snow on a mountaintop, cold and impossible to approach.

Lin Jinzhao, by contrast, is the least noteworthy daughter of the Lin family in a small Jiangnan town. Bright and carefree, she is a prickly wild rose in her friends' eyes.

When their engagement was announced, public opinion erupted. Everyone said Lin Jinzhao was a country sparrow reaching for a high branch, and that the marriage would not last.

But little by little, people noticed that

The pigeon-blood ruby he had bought for a fortune at an auction rested at her throat. No matter how late she stayed out with her friends, his car was always waiting in the shadows outside the club.

And what no one else knew was

He had incredible stamina, and though he was forceful, he was also gentle, leaving her sleeping until well after sunrise every day.

2.

Her best friend couldn't help calling, saying with satisfaction:

"Zhaozhao, I think Huo Chengyu really has become your devoted servant."

But Lin Jinzhao was clear-eyed. "Huo Chengyu is good to me out of a sense of responsibility and good breeding. No one can win the heart of a man like him."

A tall shadow fell across the half-open doorway.

The man was standing there. She hadn't noticed when he arrived. In his hand was the Basque cheesecake she had casually mentioned the night before.

His face lay in shadow, his expression unreadable.

3.

When their one-year contract expired, Lin Jinzhao packed her suitcase and moved out of the villa, only to be cornered by the man who had followed her to a hotel in a foreign country.

"Why did you leave without saying a word?"

For once, she saw turbulent emotions surging beneath the man's usually calm gaze.

"Huo Chengyu," Lin Jinzhao said, her lashes trembling and her voice shaking, "the contract has expired. We should go our separate ways."

Separate ways?

She soon couldn't say those words again.

His burning palm gripped her slender, pale ankle. As her consciousness slipped away, she still tried to make sense of it all:

"Huo Chengyu, what does this make us...?"

"The contract may have expired, but we're still married." He looked up during a brief pause and patiently asked, "Mrs. Huo, what do you think this makes us?"
