Xu Shiyao's life at twenty-eight seemed to be on fast-forward.

First, she ran into Zhou Xiangchen, a high school classmate she hadn't seen in years, who had since become the president of an entertainment company.

Then, after an accident, she spent a night with him. More surprising still, she got pregnant.

This was the first time Xu Shiyao had ever faced a string of mishaps like this. She confided in her two best friends and asked whether she should tell Zhou Xiangchen.

But that very night, Zhou Xiangchen showed up at her door and proposed on the spot.

Xu Shiyao was completely dazed. In her confusion, she thought she might have nodded, but she wasn't sure.

All she remembered was that afterward Zhou Xiangchen took her to meet his parents. Then they got their marriage certificate and married, as naturally as if things had simply fallen into place. It was as if her life had gone into double speed.

During her final year of high school, Xu Shiyao was under too much pressure. She met a caring older sister on an app, and the two of them talked about everything. The woman's comfort, reassurance, and advice helped Xu Shiyao make it through that difficult, stifling year.

Although they never got the chance to meet in person, whenever Xu Shiyao had a problem, her caring older sister was always there to offer advice and help her work it out.

Xu Shiyao always wanted to thank her face-to-face, but no matter what she tried, she couldn't get her to meet up.

Until much later, when she happened to spot that all-too-familiar social media account on Zhou Xiangchen's laptop.

She couldn't believe it: Zhou Xiangchen was the caring older sister she had never managed to meet?!

Only then did Xu Shiyao realize that the marriage-before-love story she thought she was living was actually the culmination of her husband Zhou Xiangchen's long-standing, grand love for her.

Married first, love later / pregnant first, love later / marriage of convenience / husband pursues wife after marriage / face-slapping / possessive daddy / leaves with the baby

Because of an engagement arranged by their parents, Song Ci had no choice but to marry Pei Zhiyan, a powerful figure in the business world.

Song Ci naturally didn't want to, but for various reasons, the two unwilling partners still married under pressure from their families.

After the wedding, Pei Zhiyan immediately had her sign a marriage agreement. She would play the role of the understanding Mrs. Pei for three years. When the marriage term ended, he would divorce her without conditions and let her go, giving her one hundred million as a divorce settlement.

But one mishap followed another. In the second year of their marriage, a drunken accident led to Song Ci accidentally getting pregnant with Pei Zhiyan's child.

Remembering how cold and heartless he usually was, Song Ci assumed he wouldn't want the baby. She made a doctor's appointment herself and prepared to have an abortion.

But on the day of the procedure, Pei Zhiyan rushed over from work and pulled her off the operating table. The procedure never happened. She thought he simply wanted a child of his own.

Song Ci gave birth, and the term of their marriage agreement came to an end.

For various reasons, she couldn't take the child with her, so she left alone with the settlement money.

Pei Zhiyan was a rising star in the business world: decisive, aloof, and peerlessly refined. He had only married Jiang Nanxi, a woman from an ordinary family, to appease his relatives over the so-called engagement.

His plan had been to stay married for just three years before divorcing her.

But then he unexpectedly discovered that Song Ci had a "white moonlight" she loved but could never have. When their marriage agreement ended, she would rather give up the tens of millions in divorce money than take their child and seek refuge with her beloved.

Pei Zhiyan, a business tycoon who had always been cold-hearted and never broken an agreement, tore up their marriage contract for the first time. He broke his word and refused to divorce her.

Who would have thought that after giving birth, Song Ci would disappear without a trace, leaving him searching for her in vain?

They met again five years later. By then, Song Ci had forgotten all about him and their past, and even had a blind date lined up with a man she was planning to marry.

Pei Zhiyan, who had never let his emotions show, lost control for the first time.

He decided to steal the bride.
