Marrying Her by Design Plot:

Gu Jingshen, desperate to save his family's failing business, targets Su Wan—the daughter of a late family friend. Only by marrying her can he access her inherited trust fund. He crafts a tender trap: a 'chance' reunion, 'intentional' companionship, every move calculated to win her over. But when Su Wan asks through teary eyes, 'Did you ever really like me?', he panics—those late-night medicine runs, the panic of picking her up in the rain... were they all just acts? Meanwhile, Su Wan hides an old photo under her pillow, the teenage Gu Jingshen's face worn thin from years of touching. This 'marriage plot' was always a two-way gamble: whoever falls first loses, but who wants to win?
