Forced Bond: Mr. Lu's Prisoner in the Palm of His Hand

Ning Wan’s life was turned upside down after she caught her fiancé betraying her with her best friend, Lin Muyan. More absurd still, a cold entity called the “Forced Binding System” forcibly linked her to Lu Chenzhou, the cold and ruthless business tycoon who stood above everyone else.

He saw her as a substitute, a shadow meant to fill the void left by the woman he treasured in his heart. He gave her a life of luxury, but also inflicted unforgettable humiliation and control. She was a caged bird trapped in his grasp, forced to endure all his domineering possessiveness and exploitation.

But when Ning Wan unexpectedly became pregnant with his child and decided to leave for a distant place with her broken heart and secret, fate’s gears began turning once more. Five years later, she returned with her gifted little one, accompanied by Gu Yanshen, a gentle and refined medical genius.

Lu Chenzhou’s world was turned upside down. The once meek and submissive shadow now shone brilliantly, with a protector by her side, and… his child? A love that comes too late is worth less than weeds. When he finally understood his own heart and knelt to beg her to come back, ready to set aside all his pride, Ning Wan only smiled.

“Mr. Lu, I make the rules now.” Substitute? Prisoner? No, she would be the master of her own fate. In this tangled relationship, forcibly set in motion by the System, who would truly emerge victorious? Where would the fates of Lu Chenzhou, Ning Wan, and Gu Yanshen lead them, amid the whirlpool of love and hate, coercion and freedom?
