Shen Yanzhou only wanted to rent a place, quietly work a job, and look into a few little secrets on the side. He never expected that as soon as he moved into his new home, the cool, glamorous boss, Jiang Wanyin, would set her sights on him.
“You can cook? Stay.” “You’re strong? Help me move some things.” “Your salary is low? I’ll give you a raise.” “Why are you so easy on the eyes? Why don’t you just marry me?”
Shen Yanzhou: “...?” He thought he was doing a convincing job of pretending to be poor, but he’d accidentally charmed a formidable woman.
Then one day, his hidden identity was exposed. Jiang Wanyin glanced at the identity records he had kept concealed for years and said calmly, “Are you here to rent a place, or to trick me into marriage?”
What had started as a simple rental arrangement quickly became shrouded in mystery. Shen Yanzhou discovered that he had been drawn into Jiang Wanyin’s complicated past and a massive power struggle. Even more unexpectedly, he gradually realized that there was more between them than workplace entanglements: their connection ran much deeper.
Jiang Wanyin seemed cold on the surface, but harbored complicated feelings within. Her attraction to Shen Yanzhou had long since gone beyond a simple employer-employee relationship. Their subtle bond grew ever stronger amid the tangled threads of desire, self-interest, and love, and neither could predict how things would end.
A secret concealed for years, a struggle where love and revenge intertwine. Can Shen Yanzhou unravel the mystery and break free of fate’s shackles? Can Jiang Wanyin put aside her hidden pain and bravely pursue her true love?
Where will their fate lead amid this tangled romance and mystery?
