Spoiling Her Rotten

A stunning, clear-eyed innocent beauty + an older, powerful man / married first, love later / the powerful man lowers his head / long-planned romance. After six years together, just as they were about to marry, her boyfriend dumped Yu Yan with the words, “My dad would never let someone with your background into the family.” Yu Yan felt a bitter sting of irony. She knew He Fan's first love had returned, and it was time for her to step aside. Just as she was reeling from the breakup, He Chiyan, the true power behind the He family and Lingcheng's most eligible bachelor, handed her a marriage contract.

“Marry me, and you'll get everything you want. You'll also get your revenge on him.”

The good news: ten million in monthly spending money, generous support and resources, a husband who was supposedly always away on business, and a promise to stay out of each other's way. She could even lord her seniority over her ex.

The bad news: her husband being away on business was a lie, and so was staying out of each other's way. On the very night they got their marriage licenses, he kissed her until she was breathless. Before long, he was coming home every night.

Later, when He Fan knelt in public and begged her to take him back, He Chiyan put an arm around her waist. “He Fan, say one more crazy thing and you're out of the He family.”

In the dead of night, He Chiyan buried his face against Yu Yan's neck. “Yu Yan, forget everyone else and love me, okay?”

“Yu Yan, who are you thinking about?”

“Yu Yan, you can only think about me.”

“Yu Yan, let's have a baby, okay?”

…

Yu Yan had always thought her marriage to He Chiyan was just a transaction in which they each got what they wanted, and she never dared to give him her heart. It wasn't until the truth came to light that she learned this marriage, which had rescued her from a desperate situation, was the result of his careful scheming and six years of planning.

(A mutually devoted couple, a male lead who can express himself, no abuse of the heroine, no frustrating misunderstandings, and a story that's good for your health.)
