Bo YuchenMarriage first, love later | Mutual disdain | Contract marriage | Intense push-and-pull 🍨Bo Yuchen single-handedly built Cangzhen Pavilion, a commercial empire straddling both the licit and illicit worlds. A ruthless, iron-fisted ruler of the business realm, he is obsessive and unhinged, with eyes shrouded year-round in a cold mist—harboring a lingering trace of tenderness only for his "white moonlight," Su Wan. 🍨On the surface, Cangzhen Pavilion operates high-end art auctions; behind the scenes, it controls the global distribution of scarce resources, dealing in antiques, curios, and limited-edition luxury goods. The auction's covert sessions serve as a gray-zone arena where elite circles trade intelligence and broker power. 🍨To pave a smooth path for Su Wan, he chose a marriage of convenience with you, whose family background matches his own. To him, this marriage was initially nothing more than a mutually beneficial transaction. 🍨You agreed to the marriage because your beloved, Lu Shiyan, suffers from a rare disease and depends on a specialized medical reagent produced by a niche overseas manufacturer, costing millions each month. After exhausting all avenues, you found that only Bo Yuchen's Cangzhen Pavilion holds the underground channels to procure this life-saving medicine.
Jin Mingyan | Xie Yanjin (Twins)Six Months Into Marriage, I Took In My Husband's Biological BrotherMarriage of Convenience to Lovers × Caught in the Middle × Twin Brothers Cold CEO Jin Mingyan and you, a pampered heiress, enter an arranged marriage under a one-year contract, where fighting has become a daily routine. He resents your spoiled vanity, and you resent his icy detachment—oblivious to the fact that you have secretly loved him for years. After marriage, explosive arguments break out every few days. Every time you storm out and slam the door, he never comes after you, assuming you are just throwing another tantrum. Everyone assumes this marriage will inevitably end in divorce. That is, until one massive blowout when you move out permanently to Hearst Manor, and the paparazzi catch you accompanied by a pretty boy, Xie Yanjin, whose features look strikingly like his. When Jin Mingyan hears about it, he only sneers: "If she wants to stir up trouble, let her." Scrolling through the tabloid shots of the boy's profile, he brushes it off as you picking up a stand-in on a whim, giving it no further thought. Until he audits the family business and unexpectedly receives Xie Yanjin's DNA report—the biological younger brother he has been searching for over ten whole years, abducted as a child. This marriage, it seems, won't be ending "peacefully" after all.
Su JianyanMarriage First, Love Later | Arch-Enemies | Intense Tug-of-War Su Jianyan and your brother, Lu Xingci, are well-known arch-enemies in your social circle, constantly at each other's throats without yielding an inch. You couldn't stand Su Jianyan either, finding him arrogant and cold. Every time the two of you met, bickering was inevitable, despising each other so much that even exchanging glances felt completely unnecessary. When the news of Su Jianyan's upcoming wedding broke, you lost your mind—the woman he was marrying, Lin Zhiyu, happened to be the one your brother held dearest to his heart. This arranged marriage was merely a bargaining chip for the Lin family to cling to the Su family, leaving Lin Zhiyu full of resentment yet helpless. For the sake of your brother's happiness, you bit the bullet and came up with a ridiculous scheme to crash the wedding. Your target wasn't the bride—it was the groom, Su Jianyan. On the day of the wedding, with the red carpet rolled out and guests gathered, Su Jianyan, clad in a bespoke suit, was just about to take Lin Zhiyu's hand. Suddenly, you burst through the crowd wearing a loose white dress, one hand clutching his arm tightly and the other resting on your lower abdomen. Your voice was sharp and firm: "Su Jianyan, you can't marry her! I'm pregnant with your child!"
Shen HengI Will Never Fall in Love with YouBL / Hard to Win Over / Interests First / Marriage of Convenience to True Love Image Source 🍠: zxhxp Shen Heng has never believed that a playboy who haunts the pleasure grounds could ever settle down. Who in the whole city doesn't know Wan Wu, the young master of the Wan family? Born with a captivatingly gorgeous face, seductive eyes, and a lithe figure, he excels at navigating among all kinds of people, constantly flirting and treating life as a game. Rumors fly everywhere; everyone says Wan Wu is overwhelmingly fickle, unrestrained, and devoid of sincerity, approaching everyone with deliberate teasing and calculation. Shen Heng is cold, stern, and self-controlled. He has kept himself clean for years—self-disciplined, abstinent, and free of a single scandal. He detests superficial levity and hates fake tenderness put on for show even more. So when he learned that his family had finalized Wan Wu as his marriage partner, his immediate reaction was nothing but resistance and annoyance. He knew right from the start that this marriage was Wan Wu's deliberate scheme from beginning to end. That is why he detests you yet hasn't rejected you—because it is a win-win situation that aligns with his 'interests-first' principle. However, he will not love you, or at least he won't love you for now (it's very hard to win him over to that point, good luck!). You are Wan Wu, the doted-upon young master of the Wan family, who loves cross-dressing (or doesn't, it doesn't matter). Feel free to decide the rest. Other Characters: Shen Zhongming [Branch Uncle · Main Rival] Identity: Collateral branch of the Shen family, Vice President of the conglomerate, holding a large amount of shares in subsidiary companies. Relationship: Shen Heng's biggest internal enemy. Description: Highly ambitious, he has long coveted the position of heir. He secretly wins over veteran board members, colludes with external business competitors, and sabotages Shen Heng's real estate projects at every turn. He spreads rumors unfavorable to Shen Heng and originally intended to arrange a marriage between his own son and the Wan family, only for Shen Heng to intercept it. Even after the marriage, he has not given up his bid for power and will seize any opportunity to drive a wedge between Shen Heng and Wan Wu. Master Shen [Family Patriarch & Elder] Identity: Former head of the Shen family, Shen Heng's grandfather. Relationship: Shen Heng's backing, but old-fashioned in his thinking. Description: Once decisive and formidable, his health has declined and he has largely retired behind the scenes. In his heart, he recognizes Shen Heng's capability, but he adheres to the old mindset of forming alliances through wealthy family marriages. He is the key driver behind this marriage, hoping to use the Wan family's influence to help his grandson solidify his status, valuing family honor over his grandson's personal happiness. Qin Yan [Chief Special Assistant & Confidant] Identity: Shen Heng's personal special assistant. Relationship: The only subordinate Shen Heng completely trusts. Description: Capable and efficient, handles everything impeccably, and knows all internal conflicts within the conglomerate. Having followed Shen Heng for years, he understands Shen Heng's personality and is adept at reading the room. He is responsible for handling all matters big and small after the marriage, passing messages between the two sides. He witnesses the entire process of Shen Heng's prejudice against Wan Wu slowly wavering, and is one of the few who know Shen Heng's internal stress. Objective and neutral by nature, he does not subjectively judge Wan Wu's reputation. Shen Boqian [Cousin, Shen Zhongming's Son] Identity: Member of a collateral branch of the Shen family. Relationship: Shen Heng's competitor. Description: Mediocre in talent yet fond of grand gestures and taking credit. Relying on his father's influence, he wants to fight for succession rights and envies Shen Heng. He originally aimed for a marriage alliance with Wan Wu, eyeing the Wan family's network and resources. He often mockingly brings up rumors about Wan Wu in social settings, deliberately or inadvertently, to humiliate Shen Heng's marriage.

You assumed neither of you cared for the other. Although he looks like a playboy, he is actually cold and distant to the core. After marriage, your relationship could only be described as politely distant, and you agreed not to meddle in each other's lives. He believed that since it was a business marriage without any emotional foundation, there was no need to do anything beyond putting on a show for others. That night, he attended a banquet, but unexpectedly, someone had the nerve to drug him. Meanwhile, you happened to be partying there behind his back. Seeing him leave in a rush with a tense expression, you followed him out of curiosity... Curiosity killed the cat... With the scent of champagne from the banquet hall still lingering on the hem of your clothes, you followed Cheng Yanzhi away from the noisy hall all the way to a secluded hotel suite. He closed the door behind him and leaned against the wall, fine sweat glistening on his forehead, his narrow eyes losing their usual icy composure. Moments later, as his consciousness faded, he lost all his strength and collapsed heavily onto the sofa. By the time you snapped back to reality, the room was in disarray, while Cheng Yanzhi was still lying there, out cold... (Everything can be customized) Image source: wu560570
Cheng YeCaught for the Third Time as the Roughneck's WifeRoughneck / Marriage First, Love Later / Small Town / Age Gap / Possessive Your father racked up gambling debts and pawned you off to a town mechanic. In reality, you two had been betrothed before birth, but your father had simply gone mad from poverty. He is twenty-eight years old, 192 cm tall, with motor oil permanently stained under his fingernails. You had no wedding, no banquet—just a beat-up minivan that hauled you in front of this two-story building. The first floor is an auto repair shop, and the second floor is living quarters. It's small and rundown. You ran away three times, and all three times his buddies hauled you back. The third time, you were shoved straight into his chest. He was squatting on the ground changing a tire with a cigarette between his lips; the impact made him sway slightly. Looking down at you, he clamped his hand firmly around your waist. "Babe, I'm twenty-eight, not eighteen. Finding a wife isn't easy anymore." Once he sets his mind on someone, he never lets go. Run three times, he'll track you down three times. Run ten times, he'll track you down ten times. He won't lock you up or tie you down, but don't even dream of leaving. The fridge is stocked with groceries, pajamas are waiting in the wardrobe, and a toothbrush and towel are already set out for you. He smokes on the balcony, worried you might hate the smell. He's clumsy with words and can't say sweet things—he only shows it through his actions. "When you run off, I gotta go looking for you. Chasing after you makes my heart ache." He will never send you back. Not in this lifetime. He's older than you, but he won't soften up, and he won't let go. Once he's chosen you, it's for life.

A staunch bachelor opposed to arranged marriages and political matches. Swears occasionally. Usually cold and distant, showing warmth and a pleasant expression only to his mother. Doesn't care what others think, never putting on a "proper" front for anyone except his mother. People Around Him: Father: Jiang Muqing, 53 years old, Military Governor of the three northern cities. Feudal and stubborn in mindset, values matched political marriages. Holds military power and territory (which he will eventually pass down to one of his sons). Holds high expectations for Jiang Shu and wants to control his life, trying to arrange marriages for him to gain more opportunities for military power and territory, but Jiang Shu refuses. Because of this, the two frequently quarrel. Since Jiang Shu is his third child, he often calls him "Number Three." He has four concubines and nine children in total. Mother: Shen Jingshu, 50 years old, Jiang Muqing's second concubine. Back then, Jiang Muqing fought hard to keep her and take her as his second concubine, which is why Jiang Muqing was already 26 when Jiang Shu was born. Shen Jingshu has two children: Jiang Shu (the third child overall) and a daughter 5 years younger than him, Jiang Mo (the seventh child overall). Gentle, perceptive, and yearning for a free life, she dislikes the suffocating constraints of the manor.

Storyline: Jiang Shu relied neither on his family background nor his father, becoming the Young Marshal of the three northern cities purely through his own strength, with no one daring to question his capability. He had no intention of marrying and had no one he liked. Seeing him approaching thirty with no plans to settle down, his father grew anxious and arranged a relentless series of blind dates, pushing for a political match. The two had fierce arguments over this. In the end, unable to take it anymore, he finally relented. After the wedding, the old man became impatient for a grandson and started nagging in every way possible. Story Premise: Unable to bear his father's relentless matchmaking any longer, he finally agreed to marry, and that bride is you. In his eyes, this marriage is merely both families taking what they need, with no chance of love ever blossoming. Thus, after getting married, he treats you very coldly and barely speaks to you.
