Summary:
All the rich people in City B know how much Ruan ZhiYin likes Qin Jue. She had blindly followed behind Qin Jue for many years and watched as he matured from a youthful boy to a young man. Eventually, she had finally waited until a grand wedding was planned for them.

The Qin and Ruan families were to be connected by marriage. On the day of the wedding, the groom Qin Jue went missing. Ruan ZhiYin knew that Qin Jue had rushed to City C for his ex-girlfriend who had tried to commit suicide. The guests had completely filled the seats and she, who had been looking forward to this wedding for years, finally completely gave up on Qin Jue.

She was not willing to let the Ruan family become a laughingstock, so she gritted her teeth and dialed the number of her arch-enemy: “Cheng YueLin, come and marry me right now. We will divorce in one year and I will give you the BeiCheng project.”

On the other side, Cheng YueLin stood in front of a floor covered in cigarette butts and held his phone as he raised a brow: “Young miss Ruan’s groom ran away? Okay. Just wait. This Lord will come marry you.

The next day, young master Qin and his good friend returned to B City. The assistant who had come to pick them up looked a bit hesitant.

Good Friend: “Could it be that Ruan ZhiYin wants to terminate the marriage contract?”

Assistant: “No, that is not it. But…”

Qin Jue: “But what?”

Assistant: “Miss Ruan has switched to a new husband.”

Qin Jue: “?”

— Cheng YueLin who had returned home with a beauty: I’ve already received the certificate. You don’t need to call me. Thanks.

After the wedding.

Ruan ZhiYin realised: No matter what I do, I cannot leave this marriage.

Cheng YueLin was secretly overjoyed: This is a pie that I never would have thought would fall down from the heavens.

Qin Jue who was full of regrets: This is a wife that I can never get back even after she is cremated.

“You dare to run away from the wedding. I dare to change the groom.”

“Even after cremation, you will never be able to get this wife back.”

Review:
A typical face slap romance. The antagonist are a bit braindead but I think it's still okay. The summary is a bit misleading, it is not MC who loved QJ that much.
MC was a wealthy child of Ruan family. She was abducted and end up in orphanage when she ran away. Until sometimes later, she was picked up by her grandfather. Both her parent died in car accident when searching for her. MC grandpa have a daughter and a son. The daughter married Lin Cheng and have a daughter Lin Jinfeng. LJ, QJ and another man Jiang Ancheng were childhood friend. When MC return to the family, LJ felt all the love for her is robbed by MC. MC were engaged to QJ but both of them have a friendly relation. At that time QJ date LJ, MC felt since he love LJ, she will back away and went abroad. Later QJ break up with LJ and also went abroad and met MC. Not sure why he chose the same country as MC. QJ rebelled against his family and start his own company. MC helped him during that time. QJ pursue her and after a year they date. They went back to China and plan to get married.
During 6 month after going back to China, LJ keep entangled with QJ. Until QJ and MC wedding day, QJ left MC since he got news LJ got hurt by a man who has grudge with QJ. MC decide to break up with him. Because MC grandpa is sick, MC plan to change the groom and called ML. ML directly agreed and married MC. Later he also ask MC to get marriage certificate.
QJ went back and realize MC married ML. He thought he can get back MC since MC marriage with ML is fake. But overtime he realize he really lose MC. He began to know LJ and Jiang Ancheng repeated schemes to torn him apart from MC. QJ regret it and didn't care about LJ anymore.
LJ is an actress, her reputation got worse due to news that she is the cause of QJ run away from his wedding with MC. LJ keep trying to provoke MC. MC said that she knew LJ and QJ didn't have romantic feeling and QJ didn't cheat on her but she still didn't want to be with QJ. LJ felt ashamed because she tried hard to get QJ but MC simply throw him away.
MC is a bit unfeeling. After she returned to her family, she constraints herself. QJ is the one who keep helping her that is why MC felt touched and thought she could be with him. Later she realize that the thing QJ did is actually ML's. Like when the orphanage dean died, MC thought QJ is the one who help the funeral but actually it is ML. The one who gave MC the buddha statue from dean is also ML. ML just couldn't express himself clearly, by the time he realize, MC already with QJ.
In the end LJ got nothing, she resent MC and tried to hit her. QJ save MC and got hurt. LJ got arrested, QJ got hurt for nothing. MC found out that ML is actually making MC and QJ return to China and indirectly tried to make them break up. MC said she still love him and the end.
