[Marriage first, love later / Mutual pining comes true / Chasing his wife to the crematorium / SC, 1v1] Starts in late July
Shang Chi, the wealthy heir voted the man women most want to marry, is low-key and composed, and hardly ever shows interest in women.
A fortune-teller in Hong Kong once read his birth chart and said he would fall in love with a very, very gray Cinderella.
As soon as the rumor spread, countless young women went wild, all hoping to become the Cinderella destined for him.
At a Christie's auction, the media caught Shang Chi spending a fortune on a Queen Cateline emerald necklace, all to make the beauty beside him smile.
The beauty wore a bright red dress, as dazzling as a flame, and held herself as proudly as a peacock.
The young women were heartbroken and bitterly remarked that this "Cinderella" was lucky, getting arrogant as soon as she landed the young heir.
Then a photo from years ago appeared online:
Onstage, Gu Xi wore a classical dress with a fitted waist and her long black hair in an elegant updo. Her face carried an air of arrogance far beyond her years. Two girls sat beside her, one of them desperately trying to squeeze her foot into a glass slipper.
Shang Chi stood nearby, his well-tailored prince's outfit making him look even taller and more imposing. The backdrop behind him clearly read "Yuying High School Drama Competition."
Netizens were stunned.
Isn't that the most prestigious private high school in the country?!
What the hell, this isn't Cinderella. She's Cinderella's stepmother!
