Lu Jingshen, a regular fixture in the financial headlines, was forced to marry an orchard doctor covered in mud so he could inherit a hundred-billion-yuan agricultural empire.
Overnight, a tech tycoon became a fruit farmer. The board wanted him to hand over a smart irrigation system proposal, his father-in-law’s will demanded that he revive a century-old apple orchard, and his contract wife, Lin Wan, was crouching by the field with a cold look in her eyes. “President Lu, you’re standing on my experimental saplings.”
At first, it was just a deal: he would provide the funds to save her endangered orchard, and she would provide the expertise to help him pass his inheritance assessment. He went to board meetings in a sharp suit, while she spent all night in work clothes monitoring soil data. He calculated investment returns; she calculated the pollination success rate of the fruit trees.
Then a rival deliberately set fire to the orchard, and he rushed into the flames in the middle of the night to save her five years of research notes. When an early frost, the worst in a century, struck, the two of them stood side by side in the orchard at three below zero, keeping watch until dawn.
The shareholders noticed that President Lu, who used to care only about financial reports, had started asking about soil pH. Lin Wan, meanwhile, realized that a hand warmer he had quietly slipped into the incubator in her lab was always waiting for her.
The day before their contract expired, Lu Jingshen pushed a newly drafted contract toward her.
He had deleted the entire section on dividing their shares. Only one handwritten line remained:
“Renewal term: A lifetime. Penalty for breach: Everything I own.”
【Ruthless tech tycoon × down-to-earth female orchard doctor】
【Marriage first, love later / Cross-industry business / Two strong leads building a business together】
When a tycoon in a tailored suit learns to graft fruit trees, and a lab coat becomes scented with earth…
The best business acquisition is to acquire both the person and their heart.
