[This story will have sporadic updates until it's contracted. It was one of the ideas I had when I first applied for a contract. After it didn't get accepted, it wasn't featured in the natural rankings, and with the modern romance genre so competitive, I got inspiration for a new story while writing this one. I'll focus on stockpiling chapters for the new story and come back to fill in this one whenever I feel like it.]
Beautiful author VS investment tycoon
Ji Nanwan got married in a flash.
To fulfill her grandmother's wish, she married Shen Jiangzhi, a man who had helped her countless times: a successful investor ranked among the world's top 100 richest people and chairman of a renowned private equity fund.
Ji Nanwan had no idea why a handsome, wealthy man who was so ruthless and decisive in business would want to marry her.
But she knew that if she married him, her grandmother would receive the best possible care, and she wouldn't have to give up her dream of becoming a writer.
So Ji Nanwan married him.
She always thought it would be a quiet, uneventful marriage.
But every night, the way Shen Jiangzhi looked at her made her heart race.
His gaze was so full of passion and intoxication.
As she became immersed in his ardent pursuit, Ji Nanwan realized that falling in love with this man seemed inevitable.
Until one day, she came across her ex-boyfriend, Duan Ming, in her own home.
Her husband's nephew.
The secrets of the past came rushing out into the open, one by one.
A little scene:
In financial circles, Shen Jiangzhi was hailed as the "Hand of God." Every stock or company he believed in had, in time, proven the exceptional nature of his investment instincts and methods, earning him an astonishing fortune.
When a TV financial host asked this legendary figure which investment he was proudest of in his life, he answered without hesitation: his wife.
His answer made netizens intensely curious. They dug up the fact that his wife was Ji Nanwan, a renowned novelist and screenwriter, and that she had only begun to display her genius for writing after marrying him.
Everyone immediately understood what he meant.
They all remarked that he really was a tycoon, able to spot his future wife's potential before anyone else.
But only Shen Jiangzhi knew what he had really meant.
He hadn't invested in Ji Nanwan's writing ability. He had invested everything in the hope that she would fall in love with him.
He had had his eye on this "stock" for ten years.
