Seven years ago, a sentence cut short planted the seeds of a lifetime of love and hate between Fu Yanchen and Song Nuan. He heard her say, “How could that be?” but missed the hopes she never got to express. He resented her pride, never knowing that she had secretly rejoiced at helping him anonymously. Seven years later, Fu Yanchen has the power to crush anything at his fingertips. Yet the name “Song Nuan” alone stirs a consuming hatred and a love he can't bring himself to admit. Now the cold-blooded ruler of a business empire, Fu Yanchen has returned for revenge. The truth behind his mother's suicide points to Song Nuan's father, and he becomes a vengeful demon, swearing to drag the Song family into hell. With her family ruined and her loved ones in danger, Song Nuan enters his drugged room to save them. Under a cold contract, she becomes his “contract wife in captivity.”
Marriage is a shackle, a transaction.
He keeps company with other women while she endures in silence, until Gu Xiuyuan's protection awakens the jealousy buried deep inside him.
He closes in on her at every turn, using her vulnerability to trap her completely.
When she faces danger during her pregnancy, he signs the abortion consent form, then conceals the truth behind it, sending her plunging into despair.
With her heart turned to ash, she leaves for another country and cuts off every tie to the past.
Three years later, she returns under the name “princess,” dazzling and radiant, with revenge in her sights and twins by her side.
On the night they reunite, she flings a check at him as “compensation for your trouble,” enraging the once-mighty Mr. Fu.
When he discovers the two miniature versions of himself, his long road to winning her back becomes a blazing trial by fire.
After all she has endured, can Song Nuan still turn back for this love that came too late?
Her name is Song Nuan, yet warmth is not her fate. Can this tangle of love and hatred ever find redemption?
