The Marriage Contract

Philippe Bastien is the heir to one of the wealthiest conglomerates owned by Émile Bastien in Paris. He is used to having the world at his feet and people at his beck and call. Unknown to him, the source of his family’s wealth is deeply tied to a society and to a clause that guides its members. It’s stated that as the heir, Philippe would have to marry one of the daughters of his father’s business partners and fellow society members, in order to renew their partnership and in turn, preserve their wealth. Ava Dubois, the only daughter of an equally wealthy French businessman, Martin Dubois has always hated the life she was born into. The dislike for excesses, party lifestyle, and intrusion from the paparazzi has made her become a low-key person. She avoids anything that would bring her back to the spotlight so imagine her surprise when she’s summoned to fulfill the marriage contract. Ava is irritated by Philippe’s image and rich playboy persona but is obligated to marry him to please her father. When Philippe, who never goes for plain-looking ladies, meets Ava, he is taken aback by her simple appearance and wonders how she could be from such a family. Their personalities clash and it becomes clear that their marriage would be anything but rosy except they find a way out or magically fall in love with each other…菲利普-巴斯蒂昂(Philippe Bastien)是埃米尔-巴斯蒂昂(Émile Bastien)在巴黎拥有的最富有企业之一的继承人。他习惯了世界在他脚下,人们对他呼来唤去。他不知道,他家族的财富来源与一个社会以及指导其成员的条款有着深刻的联系。据说,作为继承人,菲利普必须与父亲的生意伙伴和社会成员的女儿之一结婚,才能延续他们的合作关系,进而保住他们的财富。艾娃-杜波依斯是同样富有的法国商人马丁-杜波依斯的独生女,她一直讨厌自己出生时的生活。她不喜欢奢华的生活,不喜欢派对生活,也不喜欢狗仔队的骚扰,因此她变得很低调。她回避任何会让她重回聚光灯下的事情,所以当她被传唤去履行婚约时,她的惊讶可想而知。艾娃对菲利普的形象和有钱花花公子的身份感到恼火,但为了取悦父亲,她不得不嫁给他。菲利普从不喜欢相貌平平的女子,当他见到艾娃时,被她朴素的外表吓了一跳,不明白她怎么会出身于这样的家庭。他们的性格发生了冲突,很显然,除非他们找到出路,或者神奇地爱上对方,否则他们的婚姻将不会美好…
