[Both leads are each other’s first and only + love after divorce + second chance romance + everyday life]
Wen Ran was entrusted to the powerful Pei family in the capital by her dying grandfather.
She knew she was nothing more than a canary kept by the Peis, destined sooner or later to become a pawn in their pursuit of power and profit.
Every day, she played the part of a well-behaved girl, all the while living in fear that she would be married off to some balding man in his forties or fifties.
With no other choice, Wen Ran decided to save herself, willingly throwing herself into the line of fire.
Her target was Pei Yun, the Pei family’s second son.
She knew that aside from love, Pei Yun could give her anything she wanted.
What she didn’t know was that from the moment she began scheming, she would lose not only her virginity, but her heart as well.
When they married, he made it clear: “Wen Ran, I’ll give you the money, power, and marriage you want. The one thing I can’t give you is love!”
After the divorce, he cornered her time and again, gripping her waist with bloodshot eyes as he pleaded.
“My demands aren’t much. How about an exchange of equal value?”
“What are we exchanging?”
“I’ll trade you my whole heart for your broken one.”
