Jiang Tingling made it through the million-strong army of graduate school hopefuls and earned her place.

She froze when she saw the young man in her advisor’s office. Her advisor smiled as he introduced them: “This is Shen Que. You’ll be studying in his research group for the next three years, under his supervision.”

Who was Shen Que? The very man she had just married on paper.

What were the odds that her arranged-marriage husband would become her immediate boss?

Shen Que was sharp-tongued and strict, and nothing interested him besides research.

Even his new wife was little more than a decoration to him.

Fortunately, she felt the same way. That suited him perfectly.

But at some point, without his knowing when, his feelings began to change.

His gaze kept drifting to her. Whenever he saw another man laughing and talking with her, he felt the urge to hide her away.

He realized he had fallen for her.
