Marriage by Mistake, Love by Chance: The CEO Can't Live Without Me

“Wrong Marriage, True Love: The CEO Won’t Let Me Go” tells the story of a marriage that is forced to begin through an unexpected “arrangement.” The female protagonist, Lin Xiaoxia, is an ordinary girl whose life is simple yet filled with the warmth of everyday living. She and her grandmother rely on each other, running a small shop in their hometown. One day, in order to improve their financial situation, her grandmother unilaterally “sells” her to a wealthy aristocratic family she has never even met—their grandson happens to be a super‑rich heir—on the condition that they pay a huge bride price. Faced with this sudden turn of events, Lin Xiaoxia feels both angry and helpless, and she can’t help but wonder whether the other party is hiding some dark secret. Meanwhile, the male protagonist, Gu Chenzhou, as that “wealthy young master,” appears gentle and refined, with every advantage at his disposal, but he too harbors untold hardships. Against their mutual reluctance, the two are drawn into this marriage, and from initial resistance to gradual understanding, their feelings for one another steadily deepen. However, the intricate web of intrigue behind the high society world and the ruthless struggles for family interests make their relationship fraught with challenges and trials. The story unfolds with a light, humorous touch, while weaving in the bittersweet realities of life, showing how two very different people navigate misunderstandings and learn to compromise, ultimately finding their own kind of happiness.
