Zhou Yuheng, the second young master of the Zhou family in the capital, is refined and dignified on the surface, but wicked to the core. His greatest pleasure is teasing people until they bristle, then smoothing things over.
Shen Xingwu was only recognized as the Shen family’s “real heiress” at eighteen. By day, she is a well-behaved top student; by night, she is the mysterious jewelry designer Lune, with so many secret identities she could fill a coat rack.
A contract leads to a whirlwind marriage:
He needs a wife to satisfy the terms of his grandfather’s will, while she needs a status that will keep the wolves at bay.
They agree to get what they need and part ways after a year, but both of them blow their cover on the very first day of living together:
She discovers that he is afraid of thunder but too stubborn to admit it, while he discovers that she takes commissions in the middle of the night and earns nine figures a year.
Later, on a snowy night in Switzerland, she hides a diamond in his pocket while running a fever. “Mr. Zhou, it’s been a pleasure working with you.”
He kisses her fingertips, his voice low and husky. “Mrs. Zhou, let’s take our partnership to the next level. For life.”
