My Heartbeat Falls for You

Song Shu is a ballet dancer. At just twenty-three, she has already won gold at international competitions multiple times, earning her the nickname "the most beautiful white swan" in the industry.

One day, paparazzi photographed her getting into the Maybach of Ji Sicheng, heir to the Ji family.

People dug up the fact that she was the Song family's only cherished daughter. But the family had fallen on hard times, and her parents had left the capital with their only son, abandoning Song Shu for more than ten years.

The Ji family controls the city's economic lifeline, and Ji Sicheng is one of the most elite young gentlemen in high society.

Song Shu had gone from a rich heiress to a poor little waif with nowhere to go. Who knew what kind of relationship she had with Ji Sicheng?

And how had she won all those gold medals?

The internet was soon abuzz with speculation.

But the day after the incident, both parties posted on Weibo.

[Ji Sicheng: Our families arranged our engagement when Shushu was born. We are now married, and she is my lawful wife. @Song Shu]

[Song Shu: We are legally married, but the divorce process is already underway.]

Ji Sicheng had just asked his assistant to tell the company's legal department to prepare a lawyer's letter as quickly as possible and sue those spreading rumors. He stared at the post. "?"

Song Shu placed a contract in front of him. "The agreement has expired. It's time to start talking about divorce."

The arm Ji Sicheng had been about to put around her waist froze. His refined, handsome face looked as if he had just swallowed something bitter. "..."

He had actually forgotten about that.

Song Shu had just celebrated her twentieth birthday when she and Ji Sicheng registered their marriage. It was no secret in high society.

Before marriage, Ji Sicheng would work, eat, and sleep at the office, getting only three or four hours of rest a day.

After they married, he kept regular office hours and picked Song Shu up and dropped her off at school and work every day, rain or shine.

Everyone was dumbfounded. They couldn't understand why Young Master Ji cherished this unwanted little waif above all others.

But no one knew their marriage was contractual.

In fact, Ji Sicheng himself gradually forgot.

That is, until Song Shu brought out the contract and asked for a divorce.

She even left the marital home where they had lived for three years, carrying their unborn child with her, and never looked back.

Only then did Ji Sicheng learn how much it hurt to shoot himself in the foot.
