“It's simple.”
He spoke evenly, each word clear and carrying immense weight.
“I need a marriage. A two-year contract marriage: affectionate in public, with no interference in each other's private lives.
And you, Shen Qingwu, the sole legitimate heir of the Shen Embroidery House, with a respectable background, a long family tradition, and a gentle demeanor, are the perfect candidate.”
“Marriage?”
Even though Shen Qingwu had steeled herself for anything, the word struck like ice.
He leaned forward slightly, his invisible pressure intensifying. His deep, unreadable black eyes fixed on Shen Qingwu. “I need a wife, someone who can quickly change the public's perception of me. She needs the ‘heritage’ and ‘elegance’ to match the Su family's standing. The Shen family's century-old Su embroidery legacy, and your... rare composure, are exactly what I need.”
Those words crashed into Shen Qingwu's heart like giant meteorites, sending towering waves across its surface. This was an astronomical sum, enough to save the embroidery house from ruin, a ray of hope generations of the Shen family had dreamed of but never dared to expect! With the money, Uncle Shen would no longer worry himself gray, Master Li could get treatment at the best hospital, and perhaps the embroiderers who had been poached would return. Even the lost orders... might be won back!
But the price... was herself. Two years of marriage, a deal through and through, a grand performance. She would become an ornament on this man's illustrious résumé, a tool to prove his “stability” and “heritage.”
