A Powerful Family Match: The Cold CEO and the Noble Heiress

Li Wan, a wealthy heiress hailed as a “design genius,” runs a top design firm and dazzles the fashion world in a red dress. Yet at a family banquet, she is assigned to marry Gu Nanzhou, rumored to be a “living King of Hell”: the cold-eyed head of the Gu family, who has forged a ruthless business empire.

One is a sharp-edged design queen; the other, an icy CEO who keeps everyone at arm’s length. Their first encounter crackles with barbed words, followed by a clash of wills when they are forced to sign a “one-year marriage agreement.” She calls the shots at haute couture shows, while he deals decisive blows on the battlefield of mergers and acquisitions. Yet under their parents’ “loving gazes,” they have no choice but to play the devoted couple.

When Li Wan’s designs are maliciously leaked, Gu Nanzhou stays up late reviewing surveillance footage frame by frame. When Gu Nanzhou falls into a business trap, Li Wan and her team use a design exhibition to open up a new front in the battle for public opinion. Two souls who should never have crossed paths gradually discover genuine warmth in their fake marriage.

When the contract expires, will they go their separate ways, or will they turn this marriage from a “transaction” into true love amid the undercurrents of a wealthy family’s power games? A clash between design ideals and business rules, and a wealthy-family saga that begins with mutual advantage but becomes a matter of the heart, unfolds here.
