She was born a rich heiress, but after her family schemed against her, she was forced to marry into another wealthy family in her younger sister’s place.
Rumor has it he is North City’s most mysterious business tycoon, wielding immense power, yet gravely ill and nearing death. Everyone says she has jumped into a fire, a scapegoat in someone else’s place.
On her wedding day, dressed in a pure white gown, she steps into the cold mansion, never expecting to be greeted by his deep, fathomless eyes, hiding a scorching intensity. “From today on, you’re mine. I’ll keep you safe.” His voice is low and hoarse, as if imbued with an irresistible magic.
She thinks their marriage is merely a transaction in which each gets what they want, but gradually discovers that around her, the sickly CEO becomes a gentle, attentive husband. When she’s tired, he prepares a warm dinner for her. When someone bullies her, he steps in with commanding force and makes them pay dearly.
But her family’s schemes don’t end there. Her younger sister’s jealousy and the world’s doubts crash over her like raging waves, again and again. Each time, he shields her, standing shoulder to shoulder with her as they weather the storm together.
Amid the twists and turns of life among the wealthy, their hearts draw ever closer. Their past misunderstandings and prejudices gradually fade as they spend each day together. At last, she understands that this marriage in her sister’s place was the most wonderful gift fate could have given her, and he is the warmest haven she could ever find.
