At her engagement banquet, Mu Qing caught her fiancé cheating with her best friend. She took a photo, sent it straight to the scumbag, and decisively cut ties with him.
But one phone call from her father plunged her into despair:
“The Qingkong Group is facing a cash-flow crisis. Only the Lin family can save us.”
Her arranged-marriage match was Lin Ziyang, the “Underworld King” feared throughout the business world.
He gripped her chin and forced her to sign a contract marriage agreement, his eyes cold as ice. “Two years of marriage in exchange for your father’s survival.”
But on their wedding day, her aunt produced an old photograph stained with blood:
Twenty years ago, Xu’s father dragged Lin’s mother off a building. Young Lin Ziyang had witnessed the whole thing.
They were loving spouses on the surface, but behind closed doors, they fought like enemies.
She investigated the accounts; he laid traps. She was poisoned; he went mad.
At last, Xu Muqing tore up the contract. “Lin Ziyang, I’ve fallen in love with you, but this is where it ends.”
He smashed through her door, his eyes bloodshot.
“The contract was fake, but wanting to love you for the rest of my life... that’s real.”
