He Plotted Every Step [Marriage Before Love]

Complete

Wealthy Family Substitute Bride | Powerful Man Bows His Head | Sweet Romance and Healing | A Guiding Lover

Cheng Huanhuan came to the Su family in Bincheng when she was twelve.

Her stepfather looked down on her, her stepsister saw her as a thorn in her side, and the Su family’s young heirs took pleasure in bullying her... all except the eldest son, Su Chenyang.

Su Chenyang was six years older than her, handsome and refined, gentle and cultured, and the next-generation heir to the Su family.

He protected her and took care of her, just as he would a younger sister.

For ten years, while living under someone else’s roof, Su Chenyang was the only light in her heart.

Cheng Huanhuan kept her feelings hidden, hoping that one day she could keep up with him

Until the day the engagement banquet between the Song and Su families was just around the corner, and her stepsister eloped with someone.

While everyone was scrambling to deal with the crisis, Su Chenyang suddenly looked at her. “Would you be willing to take her place and get engaged?”

The Su family’s Yuanhong Real Estate had been declining for years and was on the brink of bankruptcy.

Across all of Bincheng, the only person who could save the Su family was Song Yanxun of Chuangshi Group.

This young man had clawed his way up from rock bottom. He was ruthless and powerful, and he never let an insult go unanswered.

And... he hated betrayal most of all!

Cheng Huanhuan refused and secretly packed her things, preparing to flee the Su family.

But at the crucial moment, she discovered that her younger brother had gone missing.

The man who had always cared for her asked in a voice both gentle and cold, “Did you think that if you left the Su family, none of this would have anything to do with you?”

Cheng Huanhuan finally nodded.

Not long afterward, the Song and Su families’ marriage alliance caused a sensation throughout the city.

As outsiders had predicted, after their wedding Song Yanxun was cold and domineering, and would brook no argument.

Yet this man, who always had the final say, gave her unexpected respect and protection.

Cheng Huanhuan thought she had hidden her true feelings well, and that she had used the man to her advantage quite successfully.

Until her stepsister suddenly returned from abroad and exposed the lie behind the substitute marriage.

In front of the entire Song family, Cheng Huanhuan’s heart turned to ashes as she watched Song Yanxun slowly approach. His oppressive aura nearly stopped her from breathing

The next second, a broad hand clasped hers firmly.

The man’s indifferent gaze swept over everyone. “She was the one I intended to marry from the very beginning.”

Later, Su Chenyang regretted everything.

At a dinner party, taking advantage of the alcohol, he cornered Song Yanxun and demanded that he divorce Cheng Huanhuan, offering in exchange the coastal land Song Yanxun had always wanted.

Su Chenyang’s tipsy eyes were red. “She was mine to begin with.”

Song Yanxun casually undid his cuff, revealing a red mark from fingernails on his sharply defined wrist. He spoke slowly and calmly. “Now that we’re married, she’s Mrs. Song.”

A battle among heirs of wealthy families.

Upcoming: After Breaking Up with My Cold Ex

To save her stepfather’s company, Su Moyao got involved with Jiang Tangsong, a man seven years older than her.

As the head of his group, Jiang Tangsong was young and wealthy, but also cold and heartless.

That unsmiling face only softened a little in bed.

Su Moyao was with him for three years, and loved him for three years.

Until she heard that Jiang Tangsong had someone lined up for a marriage alliance.

When Su Moyao suggested breaking up, Jiang Tangsong’s stone-cold expression barely changed. He simply asked two extra words, rare for him: “Are you sure?”

Su Moyao: “Absolutely, positively, one hundred percent sure.”

Jiang Tangsong said nothing more and generously gave her an expensive breakup settlement.

Su Moyao accepted the money, opened her own dance studio, and devoted herself to her career.

Not long after, at her stepsister’s request, Su Moyao began looking after her distant cousin, Huo Chengxiao, who had come from Hong Kong.

Huo Chengxiao was the youngest son of the Huo family. He had loved music since childhood, and before finishing college, he defied his family and charged into the entertainment industry. In just a few years, he had won countless awards and, while still young, joined the ranks of the world’s ten most unconventional music composers...

There was just one problem: he had a terrible temper and was notorious for being difficult to deal with.

When Jiang Tangsong heard about it, even he, a man who rarely showed his feelings, frowned.

Some time later, the media was flooded with news about Huo Chengxiao.

The proud and unruly young master Huo took his chauffeur-driven car to Su Moyao’s dance studio every day without fail to bring her lunch. For every holiday and occasion, flowers and custom-made gifts arrived right on time. He wrote a new song about Su Moyao, and even got down on one knee to propose when she won a dance competition...

The always composed and self-controlled Mr. Jiang finally lost his cool!

Maybe it’s a groveling-to-win-her-back story, maybe the second male lead gets the girl. Either way, it’s a rivalry for her heart.
