Lilian Sanchez and Ren Bradford are the leading female and male protagonists in the novel *Sold to the Cold - hearted Billionaire: His Plus - Size Substitute Bride*. In this novel, the female protagonist, Lilian Sanchez, is a 21 - year - old young lady who is chubby, short, and has endured a lifetime of bullying and rejection due to her appearance. Abandoned by her mother at just six months old and now burdened with a sick father, she also has to deal with the constant abuse from her cruel stepmother. The male protagonist, Ren Bradford, is a wealthy and strikingly handsome CEO of the mighty Bradford empire. However, his exterior charm masks a cold - hearted and arrogant personality. This novel unfolds the story of how Lilian, a girl who has been beaten down by life's hardships, and Ren, a seemingly unfeeling billionaire, are unexpectedly thrown together by a series of cruel and unforeseen twists of fate, setting the stage for a complex and stormy relationship.
Lilian's life journey has been a long - standing struggle. During her school days, she was the target of relentless bullying. Her classmates made fun of her weight and appearance, leaving deep emotional scars. At home, things were no better. Her stepmother, who married her father when Lilian was ten, took every opportunity to degrade her. Mean remarks like "Lose weight already, you pig" and "You're too chubby and clumsy" were a daily occurrence, further eroding her self - esteem.
Desperate to improve her family's financial situation, Lilian mustered up the courage to attend an interview at Ren's company. She saw this job as a ray of hope, a chance to pay the rent and ease the burden at home. But her hopes were quickly dashed. Ren, upon seeing her, showed no mercy. With a look of pure disgust on his face, he called her a "pig" and unceremoniously kicked her out of the office. This encounter not only crushed her dreams of getting a job but also deepened her sense of self - loathing.
However, the worst was yet to come. Lilian was shocked to discover that her stepmother had borrowed a large sum of money from Ren and, unable to repay it, had offered her as collateral. Forced into a life of servitude in Ren's luxurious mansion, Lilian thought she had reached the lowest point. But Ren's behavior made it even worse. One night, after she had taken a bath, he barged into her room with sinister intentions. Terrified, Lilian resisted with all her might. Eventually, Ren, in a rare moment of mercy (or perhaps just because he was in a good mood), spared her for that night but issued a terrifying threat for the future.
Just when Lilian thought her life couldn't get any more miserable, fate intervened in a most unexpected way. Ren was on the verge of marrying his beloved Tracy. The wedding day was supposed to be the happiest of his life. But Tracy vanished without a trace. Her brother had gotten into serious trouble, and she had to rush to his aid. In a fit of panic and desperation, Ren made a rash decision. He chose Lilian to be his substitute bride.
Lilian was whisked away to a mall, where she was forced to try on a large - sized wedding dress. The onlookers' reactions were brutal. Whispers of "Why's she so fat?" and "Gosh! She's so ugly" filled the air, making her feel even more humiliated. At the wedding, the situation deteriorated further. The ring didn't fit her finger, and the guests openly sneered and whispered about her. Despite all this, Lilian found a newfound strength within herself. She began to question her worth and her place in this cruel world.
As the story progresses, the relationship between Lilian and Ren is bound to undergo significant changes. Will they be able to break through the walls of hatred and misunderstanding that separate them? How will Lilian find her way in this new and challenging life? To discover all the answers to these burning questions and to experience the many more exciting plot twists that lie ahead, you must continue to read the full text.
