● Forced pursuit | Marriage first, love later | Revenge
[Unhinged, obsessive, ruthless man in power × pure, kind, innocent girl]
1.
Chi Qingye received an old marriage alliance agreement from her mother.
The only daughter of the Chi family, she was forced into a marriage alliance with Yan Shulin, the newly appointed head of the Yan Group, in the second month after graduation.
Five years ago, the entire Yan family was wiped out in a massive disaster. News reports said there were no survivors, and the Chi family was undeniably implicated.
Five years later, just as everyone thought the Yan family had vanished for good, Yan Shulin, the sole heir to the Yan business empire, came back from the brink of death. Half a month ago, he quietly returned to the country and made a bombshell announcement that he was taking control of the Yan family once more.
What shocked everyone was that the first thing the young master of the Yan family demanded upon his return was to renew the marriage alliance with the Chi family.
Yan Shulin was ruthless and vicious, a true demon.
He had come for revenge, and Chi Qingye trembled with fear.
Chi Qingye knew he wasn't marrying her because he loved her.
But she never expected that, just to bring down the Chi Group for good, he would be willing to sacrifice his own marriage.
On their wedding night, the young man stood by the bed, tall and straight, his face lean and refined. His handsome eyes and brows were tinged with madness, and his presence was dark and terrifying.
Yan Shulin hooked a finger under Chi Qingye's chin and sneered, "Mrs. Yan, watch yourself." Then he turned and left, leaving Chi Qingye alone in the bridal suite.

Everyone worried about the girl from the Chi family. The young master of the Yan family had married her as soon as he returned, clearly planning to take revenge. She was in for a terrible time.
And yet Chi Qingye was not only unharmed, she was able to keep working.
At her first auction as host, Chi Qingye was nervous. No one bid on her lot, and nobody came to show support. Her heart sank.
She never expected Yan Shulin to show up. He bid frantically, spending lavishly as though he planned to squander his entire fortune.
He even got into a fierce bidding war with the young master of the Ye family over a lot, making quite a scene.
At this rate, he really would go bankrupt.
Chi Qingye stopped the man, who was still bidding like a madman, and said helplessly, "Sir, please know your limits, stop while you're ahead, and spend responsibly."
Yan Shulin furrowed his brow.
Know his limits? What a joke! She had no idea what he was capable of!
Stop while he's ahead? No chance!
Spend responsibly? He was being perfectly responsible!
The president of a renowned publicly listed company seemed to be getting kicked out, while the assistant beside him trembled in fear.
Sure enough, the man's elegant, refined face showed his displeasure. He lifted his eyelids, glared at the young master of the Ye family, then turned and spoke to the girl onstage in full view of everyone:
"Isn't it only right that I come support my wife's work?"
Everyone: ???!!!
Media: "Click!! Click!!! Click!"
Chi Qingye: ...
★ "Amid the raging waves, I sank beneath the sea, yet still held fast to my love for you in the deep."
■ Notes:
1. A touch of forced pursuit | Marriage first, love later | Revenge | Tense romantic push and pull | A little business intrigue | A little workplace drama
2. Both leads are each other's only partners, and it's a happy ending.
3. At its heart, this is a story about a tragic, powerful man winning back his wife. Both leads have angsty parts, so proceed with caution if that's not for you.
