Married to the Cold CEO at 18, I Demand a Divorce at 21—But He Offers Me a Billion Dollars InsteadUpdated at Dec 8, 2025, 04:36
English Blurb
Married at eighteen to a man she has never met, Yan Yaxuan has spent three years as a “paper wife” to the untouchable CEO Huo Lingchen.
On her 21st birthday she decides she’s had enough—she signs the divorce papers, plans to drop out of school, get a job, and finally take control of her own life.
But the night she celebrates her freedom, she accidentally kisses a devastatingly handsome stranger in a bar…
The next day she discovers that stranger is her legal husband—who has just flown back to China, signed her divorce agreement, and realized for the first time who his wife actually is.
Cold, domineering, and used to getting his way, Huo Lingchen refuses to let her go.
He moves into her villa, forbids her from living in the dorms, personally tutors her worst subjects, buys her an entire shopping mall “because she likes lipstick”, and casually throws out:
“If you want money, I’ll give you a hundred billion. Stop talking about divorce.”
She just wants to earn her own salary, sing at a bar once in a while, and maybe punch a few scumbags.
He wants her to call him “husband”, sleep in his bed, and stay as far away as possible from every other man—including her childhood crush.
In a city where every woman dreams of climbing into Huo Lingchen’s bed, Yan Yaxuan is the only one plotting how to kick him out of hers.
Hidden marriage, forced cohabitation, jealous exes and overprotective “friends”—
when a little wildcat crashes head‑first into a battle‑hardened CEO, who will be the first to surrender?
