A Secretly Seductive Allure

[Secret crush + long-laid plans + marriage before love]

[Mild angst]

[Warning: They are not each other's first love!]

A younger, aloof, sharp-tongued, alpha-type CEO vs. a brilliant female designer who is both beautiful and bold

-The story begins with her smiling openly as they discuss terms.

“Mutual benefit, no talk of love.”

“Fine,” he replies coolly and calmly.

-But as they get to know each other, her gaze keeps landing on him despite her best efforts.

First, she starts caring without realizing it. Then she falls for him, unable to hide it...

She says, “Honestly, I regret agreeing to this arranged marriage.”

The man sees right through her at a glance. “You fell for me, didn't you?”

In this marriage of convenience, who will be the first to lose control of their heart, her or him, with his long-laid plans?

-An old matter resurfaces, and his hidden, possessive ruthlessness comes to light:

“I've thought that perhaps no matter how many schemes and tricks I use, I can never have all of you. So if I can just keep you by my side, that will be enough.”

Wei Yutong always thought her husband was just a meek, timid, and aggrieved little puppy...

Until she was forced to unlock one scenario after another... and give in time and again.

“Don't even think about it.”

“...I'll let it slide this once.”

“Do you know that keeping someone prisoner is a crime?” she teases.

His voice is gentle yet firm. “People are always greedy. If I can go to any lengths to have you, then I can go to just as much trouble to keep you by my side.”
