Jiang Yansheng had originally hoped to form a marriage alliance with the Ji family, but his family insisted that he marry Ran Xinghe of the Ran family.
To him, marriage was nothing more than an exchange of interests, so he simply went along with his family's arrangement.
-
Being married into the Jiang family, one of the most powerful families, made Ran Xinghe the envy of everyone in their social circle for a time.
But Jiang Yansheng had once been interested in someone from the Ji family, and that had always been a thorn in her heart.
In the second year of their marriage, she asked for a divorce. Her family refused, and Jiang Yansheng never agreed either.
After that, she used him at every turn: spending his money, leveraging his influence, and taking over his projects. Every single thing she did pushed at his limits, all in the hope that he would be the one to call it quits. But he never gave in.
The Jiang family heir, known for his hard-handed ways, would lower his head and coax her at home: "Still upset? Which of my projects do you want this time? Pick one."
Marriage first, love later
