As a talented young woman from the Zhen family, I used to live a carefree life. But then a rival deliberately sabotaged the family business, severing its cash flow and pushing it to the brink of bankruptcy. In an instant, I hit rock bottom. Watching my father wear himself out trying to save the company while my stepmother, Madam Lin, and stepfather, Zhang, thought only of how to divide up what remained left me frantic with worry.
Just then, I heard that business tycoon Qi Sheng was looking for someone to marry on a contract. He was ruthless in business and cold by nature, making people shrink back in fear. To save my family, I gritted my teeth and decided to contact him myself. When I met Qi Sheng, his formidable presence made me terribly nervous, but I still summoned the courage to explain why I had come. After some negotiation, we signed a one-year marriage contract. We agreed not to interfere in each other’s private lives and to part ways without strings attached when it expired. I would help him deal with his family’s pressure to marry, and he would provide the funds to save the Zhen family business.
After the wedding, I moved into Qi Sheng’s luxurious villa. At first, he treated me coldly. Apart from necessary exchanges, we barely interacted, which left me feeling a little dejected, though I understood this was only a transaction. But one day, I slipped and injured myself in the bathroom. When Qi Sheng heard, he immediately dropped his work and rushed home to tend to my wound himself. The concern in his eyes warmed my heart. After that, he began quietly looking after me. He would make me hot milk when I stayed up late, and offer insightful advice when I ran into problems at work. These gestures gradually changed the way I saw him.
But happiness didn’t last. The two-faced Su Yao appeared...
