Forced to Marry the Brooding Tycoon

[A fiercely jealous tycoon top × a pampered, breathtakingly beautiful bottom]

Ji Mingzhu was the youngest legitimate son of the Marquis of Kangning. Raised in the lap of luxury and showered with affection, he had suitors lining up from the imperial city all the way to the Tower of the Nine Provinces.

But after falling into the water, Ji Mingzhu wakes to find himself reduced to a worthless little pebble-unloved by either parent and left to fend for himself far from home.

To protect their adopted son, who shares none of their blood, his outrageous family forces him to marry the head of the Gu family, a man rumored to be brutal and cold-blooded. They even order him to steal the Gu family's confidential documents.

Everyone knows there are only two possible endings for him:

1. The head of the Gu family will imprison and torment him, turning him into a hostage.

2. Once he obtains the documents, the Ji family will squeeze out the last of his usefulness and discard him like a spent pawn.

Yet who could have imagined that the worthless little pebble everyone had written off would become that man's one and only treasured pearl?
