Gentle Submission

The marriage alliance between the Han and Chi families caused a sensation across the city.

At the time, Chi Wenwen was a beloved heiress whom everyone pursued, while Han Duo was excluded from the inner circle. Everyone mocked him for still being covered in country-bumpkin dirt.

Everyone knew Chi Wenwen was deeply in love with Han Duo and had pursued him for months. At last, annoyed by her persistence, Han Duo agreed to marry her.

After the wedding, Han Duo remained cold and distant, busy with work. Chi Wenwen continued to treat him with tenderness and devotion, and her public displays of affection frequently made the news.

Later, Han Duo became a tycoon worth tens of billions, and their marriage was held up as a model union.

Everyone believed Chi Wenwen was deeply in love with Han Duo, including Han Duo himself. Even though he was cold-hearted and didn't love her, her love for him often made him feel guilty.

That was until he heard with his own ears Chi Wenwen, who had been sweet-talking him just two days earlier, say earnestly, "What's love got to do with it? You learn to love the job you're in. This offer to become a rich man's wife wasn't easy to get."

Han Duo: Hmph. A woman's words are just lies!

He was so focused on work that he treated his wife like a responsibility. Who knew his wife was even more heartless, treating him like a job!

What goes around comes around. No one escapes fate.

[If we're destined to be together, then I'll surrender to fate.]
