[Top-tier wealthy family + dating by contract + pretending turns real + devoted to each other + mutual salvation]
[Gentle but strong heroine vs. cold on the outside, warm on the inside hero]
Desperate to save her mother, Jiang Xihan climbs into a man’s bed. She never expects to get involved with the Xiao family’s second young master and be dragged into a feud among the elite.
She thinks it will be a one-time deal, but it turns into a one-year dating contract.
Xiao Jinting, who has always kept women at arm’s length, appears in public with a woman in his arms. The whole city of Sucheng is stunned, and everyone starts guessing who she is.
He only meant to deal with an urgent problem, but before he knew it, he’d let his heart get involved too.
She fights by his side, and he clears every obstacle in her way.
From then on, she has armor, and he has a weakness.
When the contract ends, they both realize their fates have long been intertwined.
“I waited fifteen years for you,” Jiang Xihan says coyly, a hint of reproach in her voice.
“This time, I won’t let you go again.” Xiao Jinting takes her hand, his voice firm with conviction.
