Originally titled: I Won Over the Cold and Ruthless Tycoon
On her eighteenth birthday, Yu Chenyue suddenly learned that she was betrothed to Zhou Jin. They had been promised to each other as children.
Marry a man she'd never even met? What kind of joke was that?
Yu Chenyue swore she would never bow to this marriage.
Zhou Jin was the head of the wealthy Zhou family, a famous business magnate, and a man renowned for his icy, arrogant nature. They said the thing he hated most was women who dreamed of clinging to him for wealth and status.
So, on the day they first met, Yu Chenyue dressed to the nines, put on the highest heels she could find, struck her most alluring pose, and used the most blatantly unconvincing acting to fall into his arms.
"Oh!"
There was a soft thump.
Yu Chenyue was caught securely by a strong arm.
She hurriedly looked up, pitching her voice high and sweet. "Thank you, Brother Zhou! You're so nice."
The entire room fell silent.
The people around her gaped at her audacity, too afraid to even breathe, lest they anger the man before them along with her.
Yu Chenyue thought, He's definitely disgusted. He's going to have someone drag me out.
Goodbye, betrothal! I'm free!
But when the silence finally passed, Zhou Jin gave a quiet "Mm" and simply let her go.
Yu Chenyue: ?
What was that "Mm" supposed to mean?
#This Isn't Quite How It Was Supposed To Go#
Yu Chenyue stepped up her efforts, showering him with sweet talk and acting spoiled and outrageous, just waiting for Zhou Jin to get fed up and break off the engagement.
But why...
Did the look in his eyes seem to be getting stranger and stranger?
-
Much later, she learned she'd gotten the wrong people mixed up.
The betrothal had actually been arranged between her cousin, who had died unexpectedly as a child, and one of Zhou Jin's many, many distant cousins.
Yu Chenyue breathed in the sea air aboard a cruise ship, looking at the enormous diamond ring and the tycoon before her.
The usually aloof tycoon lowered his lashes and imitated her tone. "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to get engaged at sea? Changed your mind today? Yueyue, what else do you want? Big Brother can give you anything."
Yu Chenyue: "..."
I... Can I still come clean and plead for leniency?
#Help, Help, Don't Throw Me Overboard to the Sharks QAQ#
#Wait, Isn't This the Way to the Room?#
#Hey, you jerk, what are you doing?#
