Hong Kong Island in a Trance [Marriage Before Love]

Everyone in Hong Kong knows that a penniless girl is engaged to the second young master of the Yan family.

After her family was destroyed and her loved ones died, the Yan family took her in.

Three years ago, the second young master Yan threatened to kill himself unless the engagement was called off. The media reported on it relentlessly, but not a single photo of the people involved was leaked.

For a long time, the name "Rong Yun" was a laughingstock in Hong Kong. People mocked her, saying that no matter how hard she schemed, she could never become a phoenix.

"Miss Rong" is the country's hottest haute couture design studio of the past three years. Its director, Yuna, has won countless fans with her outstanding designs and stunning looks. Her popularity rivals that of a female celebrity, and she's surrounded by rumors and scandal.

At a livestreamed fashion party, she arrived in a fitted black dress that showed off her waist, earning her the nickname "the ultimate mix of innocence and seduction."

The second young master Yan, now a top-tier idol, stopped her.

He confessed passionately, "Yunyun, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have broken off our engagement. I want us to start over."

The internet erupted. Yuna was actually Rong Yun, his former fiancee whose engagement he had broken off?!

The livestream was cut off at once. Rumors soon spread that Rong Yun had been taken away by a stunning man with a cold expression.

Someone at the scene recognized him as Yan Xingzhou, the second young master's uncle.

The internet was in disbelief: No way!

Yan Xingzhou had never shown interest in women, and he was the head of the Yan family. Rong Yun couldn't hold a candle to him.

In a room, Rong Yun was pressed against a soft cushion, her shoulder against the man's as she tried to stop him from going any further.

"We're only married by contract. The contract is over."

The man pressed her hand against a spot on his chest, where a faint mark remained.

He leaned closer. "When you held me down and bit me at home last month, why weren't you thinking about our contract then, hmm?"

Rong Yun: "..."

Countless celebrities and socialites attended the Yan family's charity gala, held to promote their new product.

Onstage, the host smiled and asked, "Mr. Yan, I've heard you have some happy news. Would you care to share?" He was trying to steer the conversation toward the Yan family's new product.

Yan Xingzhou glanced at the second young master Yan, who was edging closer to Rong Yun below the stage. He turned the ring on his left ring finger. "I designed this ring for our third wedding anniversary. My wife doesn't like wearing rings. It took me a long time to persuade her."

The host was stunned. Yan Xingzhou looked straight at Rong Yun in the audience, their eyes meeting.

As if no one else were there, he asked, "Do you like it, Mrs. Yan?"

Only then did everyone notice the identical ring on Rong Yun's left ring finger.

Everyone: What the hell?!

*

Rong Yun had never forgotten the moment she stood in the Yan family's living room, humiliated as her engagement was broken off. Yan Xingzhou had walked up beside her and said to everyone, "I'll marry her."

A devastatingly handsome, doting husband x a sultry haute couture designer

My devotion to you will never expire.

[Bonus Scene]

A video surfaced not long afterward.

At a banquet filled with clinking glasses, the second young master Yan passionately confessed his love to Rong Yun.

Rong Yun said calmly, "You were wrong. You should call me Auntie."

The second young master Yan: "But you two..."

The tall, stern man stepped forward and drew Rong Yun into his arms, looking down at the second young master Yan. "Well? Aren't you going to call her that?"

Under the pressure of his uncle's imposing presence, the second young master Yan lowered his head in reluctant embarrassment and called her Auntie.

P.S. A sweet one-on-one romance.
