Living under someone else’s roof? She was once an orphan.
Her designs stolen? She declared war under her own name!
Blacklisted across the internet? She refused to back down!
But the Shen family’s murky waters were far colder and more vicious than she had imagined.
Ji Yalan’s seemingly kind “concern” was a matchmaking setup that pushed her into the arms of a stranger, all to cut off her son Shen Xiuyan’s forbidden gaze for good.
Behind Su Wanqing’s victorious smile lay a naked threat: if she dared enter the competition, Su would ruin her reputation and make her disappear forever!
When she had no one left to turn to, his arrival was like a beacon in the dark.
Xu Niannian never expected that, in a quiet and elegant reception room, she would find the man who had once cast her a fleeting glance when she was in despair: Gu Chengzhou.
He was graceful and composed, yet saw straight through the hurt and defiance in her eyes.
A contract she could not refuse was laid before her:
A contract marriage, for three years.
She would become a stand-in for the “old flame” in his heart.
Was this a humiliating transaction, or her only chance to escape her cage?
She stepped onto the blade’s edge, brush held tight in one hand, ready to reclaim everything stolen from her through inspiration and daring on the dazzling stage of jewelry design!
With the other, she signed the marriage contract, struggling to hold on to her true self amid Gu Chengzhou’s ambiguous “protection” and his cold orders to “play the white moonlight.”
