[Both Are Inexperienced | One-on-One Romance | Healing Each Other]
A contract for one year binds them together.
She needs his help; he simply wants a child.
For a year, he shows up on schedule to fulfill the contract, and she cooperates without question.
But things don’t go as planned. She doesn’t get pregnant as stipulated in the contract, and the matter she was hoping to resolve still hasn’t progressed at all.
When the contract expires, she receives the final payment, hides her heartache, and walks away without hesitation. “We’ve settled our accounts. Neither of us owes the other anything. From now on, we’re strangers. If we ever meet again, I hope we can leave each other in peace. Goodbye!”
She does exactly that!
She returns to the workplace, busy and fulfilled, and even catches the eye of a promising young man.
He regrets everything.
By day, he is an undefeated legal titan, commanding the legal world and never losing a case.
In the quiet of night, he turns into a lovesick, sobbing mess.
Later, holding a silver ring and a list of his assets, he drops to one knee. “Jiang Yanzhi, can we renew our contract? For ten thousand years!”
