A marriage alliance between two top families in the capital, with spouses who pretend to be loving while secretly battling each other
On the night the Shen and Gu families sealed their alliance through marriage, the groom, Gu Chengyu, slid a wedding ring onto Shen Zhiyi's ring finger. His eyes were icy. "Don't expect love. You're just the most suitable ornament."
Shen Zhiyi tossed the ring out the window and smiled brightly. "Perfect. I think the thing is a nuisance."
In public, they played the loving couple. In private, they fought on the business battlefield. He snatched projects away from her, and she sabotaged his acquisitions, until Gu Chengyu discovered that the girl who had given him an umbrella in the rain years ago was none other than his new wife, who now opposed him at every turn.
And Shen Zhiyi finally saw that the sinister scar on his left wrist came from the snowy night she went missing at sixteen...
When all their disguises fell away, Gu Chengyu held her trapped in his arms, his eyes red. "We've played this game long enough. Mrs. Gu, it's time to come home."
