The Beautiful, Brilliant, and Broken Research Goddess and the Nobleman Whose Secret Love Comes True

No System, no transmigration: brilliant but tragic female scientist x wealthy heir whose secret crush comes true | Marriage before love | Growing together

Gu Qingning signed away her freedom on the banks of the Seine.

Buyer: Fu Yunshen, her greatest rival in college and now heir to one of the wealthiest families.

Item: The right to claim her as his wife for two years.

Payment: An enormous relocation allowance, all her debts wiped clean, and full access to research resources.

The reason? Fu Yunshen: “To get my family off my back about marriage.” Gu Qingning: “To survive a desperate situation.”

The terms? Affectionate in public, strangers in private. Once the two years were up, they would go their separate ways.

But then...

When his demanding mother suddenly showed up, he shielded Gu Qingning behind him. “She’s my wife. You don’t get to lecture her.”

When her parasitic family wouldn’t leave her alone, he crushed them with an iron hand. “Try bothering her again and see what happens.”

When data for her paper mysteriously went missing, he stayed up all night reviewing security footage. “You touched the work she poured her heart into. Are you looking to die?”

???

Fu Yunshen, you’re taking this act too far!

When the contract expired, she slipped off her wedding ring and disappeared. When they met again, she was the keynote speaker at an international scientific research summit.

Fu Yunshen, soaked through, knelt in the rain, his eyes bloodshot.

“Dr. Gu... I’ll trade half my life for your true love for the rest of it. Is that enough?”
