We Agreed to a Contract Marriage, So Why Did President Pei Fall for Me First?

"Gu Nian, if you want a divorce, fine. Give up custody of the child."

"If you can't bear to part with the child, then in return for the four years of good sleep you've given me, I'm willing to renew this marriage of convenience for another four years."

Four years ago, the Gu family was ruined.

Her mother jumped to her death, her father went to prison, and her fiance vanished without a trace. In the early stages of pregnancy, Gu Nian went from a rich young heiress to a beggar overnight.

"I need a wife. Marry me, and I'll raise the child you're carrying."

When she had nowhere else to turn, Pei Huaian took her in.

For four years, they were affectionate in public and distant in private, passionate at night and polite by day.

When their agreement expired, she thought divorce would be a natural next step. Instead, he refused and demanded her day and night.

Gu Nian accidentally discovered that Pei Huaian had used all sorts of despicable methods to get her.

Feeling deeply deceived, she declared, "Pei Huaian, this time, I am getting a divorce no matter what!"

When he refused, she filed for divorce herself and even told people he was impotent.

Everyone in the capital's social circles said she had thoroughly enraged Pei Huaian, and that he would make her pay with her life.

Who could have guessed that at the ceremony where Gu Nian received the Best Designer award, he would kneel before everyone and say, "Niannian, if you'll marry me again, I'll give you anything you want. And... I've already had myself checked. The doctor says I can have a second child."
