The One Who Forbade Her to Love, Fell First

share time: 2026-03-03 12:30:59

Chen Junye, a wealthy heir, signs a "contract marriage" with Zhang Lei—who has loved him for years—to avoid family arranged marriages. The rule is clear: she must not fall in love with him, only acting as a nominal Mrs. Chen. Zhang Lei hides her true feelings and keeps her distance until a friend's gathering, where she drunkenly calls out "A Yuan"—her high school crush. Chen Junye's face darkens instantly; he yanks her into his arms: "Zhang Lei, how dare you still think about someone else?" Only then does he realize he's already been captured by her tenderness, her tolerance, and the lamp she keeps on for him late at night. When Zhang Lei hands him a divorce agreement and says "I don't want to be a stand-in anymore," Chen Junye tears it up with red eyes, pinning her against the wall: "A stand-in? You're the one I want to hold onto for life. Divorce? Dream on!" He made the rule to stop her from loving him, but he's the first to break it—by falling hard.
