After a Whirlwind Marriage to a Frail Tycoon

Qi Xunsheng had an erotic dream. She clearly remembered the dream lover's face. The two of them wore bright red wedding clothes from ancient times and made love on a bed. Her friend said it was an ill-omened romance with a ghost, and that she shouldn't dwell on it. That was until she met an exquisite older woman who looked exactly like the person in her dream. She seemed cool and aloof, but in private she was as passionate as fire. That night, they spent an unforgettable night together. Later, Xunsheng saw in the news that the woman was Qi Zhao, a renowned business magnate in Luocheng, and the person her hated stepsister had a crush on. According to rumors, Qi Zhao was born frail and with a heart condition. While still young, she used ruthless methods to build her own business empire. The people of Luocheng feared and revered her. But Xunsheng thought Qi Zhao was incredibly gentle. She wasn't frail at all. She was very strong, like she was going to devour her. - Xunsheng never expected that Qi Zhao would hear the harsh words she'd casually said to her stepsister. That day, Qi Zhao asked her, "I heard you want to marry me?" Xunsheng denied it without a second thought. "I'm only nineteen. Why would I get married?" Qi Zhao: "I was born with a heart condition, and I won't live past thirty. When I die, all my property will go to you." Xunsheng's eyes lit up. "I mean, nineteen is the perfect age, when you're young and full of energy. It's the best time to get married." Qi Zhao: . - A thousand years ago, Qi Xunsheng once asked Qi Zhao what she hated most. Qi Zhao had answered, "Waiting." But a thousand years had passed, and her soul had reincarnated endlessly. She had never once felt that a thousand years was long. The loneliness of eternal life had made her accustomed to waiting. Bonus scene: Later, Xunsheng realized that Qi Zhao was showing up everywhere in her life. When she was at school, Qi Zhao was a guest lecturer. When she went to a party, Qi Zhao was the owner of the venue, which she'd apparently bought that very day. When a senior student confessed to Xunsheng, Qi Zhao happened to overhear. And then... For three days straight, Xunsheng couldn't leave the bedroom. She cursed inwardly. A woman who'd been single for a thousand years is terrifying. ● The setting is so fictional it couldn't be more fictional. Please don't relate the plot to real life. ● A mischievous cutie x someone intensely possessive ● Past and present lives, 27 x 19 Synopsis for The Seductive Actress's Rise to Fame: Ever since she was little, Jiang Tingyu knew that she was a child adopted by the Jiang family, and that she was engaged to the Jiang family's eldest daughter. She spent nearly twenty years following Jiang Weiyin around, but never got so much as a glance from her. Eventually, even the faith she had always believed in collapsed. Jiang Tingyu asked the Jiang family to call off the engagement and accepted her first romantic role. With Jiang Weiyin interfering, the cast lost not only the actor they'd already arranged to play opposite her, but also the funding the production had secured. With the project at a standstill, Jiang Tingyu was about to give up when the production became a trending topic online. Ning Zhaoxi, a best actress who had won countless film awards during her eight years in the industry, was suddenly linked to the ill-fated production. Although Jiang Tingyu thought Ning Zhaoxi was a kind person and a good actress, their past interactions hadn't exactly been pleasant. Nervously, she sent Ning Zhaoxi a greeting after seeing the trending topic. [Hello.] To her surprise, Ning Zhaoxi replied immediately: [I'll fund the whole thing.] Jiang Tingyu was baffled: [Huh?] Ning Zhaoxi: [I'll fully fund the production and join the cast. How about it?] - Filming with Ning Zhaoxi was easy and enjoyable, and Jiang Tingyu was learning a lot. She told a friend how happy she was. Her friend was horrified. "Are you crazy? She's so strict when she acts opposite people, she never drinks milk tea, and she never goes to group dinners. Doesn't she always leave right after filming and never waste time?" Jiang Tingyu looked at the new message from Ning Zhaoxi asking whether she wanted a late-night snack and said, bewildered, "Huh?" There was an intimate scene in the production, but Jiang Tingyu knew Ning Zhaoxi never took kissing scenes, so she didn't bring it up. Until the day Jiang Weiyin visited the set, when Ning Zhaoxi said, "We're filming the kissing scene today." She blinked. If she remembered right, the kissing scene was scheduled for half a month later. Jiang Weiyin had come to visit the set under the pretext of being a sponsor. Her face turned livid as she tried to pull Jiang Tingyu away, but before she could even take her hand, Jiang Tingyu had already fallen into Ning Zhaoxi's arms. A cold, taunting voice came from beside her ear: "She's my leading lady now. It's time for you to leave." Bonus scene: At the end-of-filming party, the media asked Ning Zhaoxi why she had accepted the role. Ning Zhaoxi glanced at her and said lazily, "Because of Teacher Tingyu." Jiang Tingyu: ? "Teacher Tingyu is good at it. I mean, she's a good actress, serious and kind. There are still so many things I'd like to ask Teacher Tingyu about in the future." Tingyu: ? Did she mean the kind of lesson where one person was on top and the other underneath last night? Her words made the topic trend again that night. Someone was furious enough to blow up her phone with calls, while others went completely wild shipping them. Theme: In the face of absolute love, even death is nothing to fear.
