Contract Marriage: My Wealthy Husband Is Too Gentle

To save her gravely ill adoptive father, Su Wan had no choice but to sell herself to Gu Yanshen, president of the Gu Corporation, a man rumored to be gentle and refined yet in control of a vast business empire. A marriage contract bought her father a chance to live. Their wedding was grand and lavish. He slipped a diamond ring symbolizing his promise onto her finger, his smile impeccable and warm. Yet the touch of his fingertips was cold enough to make her shudder.

On their wedding night, his gentle mask shattered. With his tie loosened, he pinned her to the marital bed, his breath hot against her skin. “Mrs. Gu, clause three of our contract: fulfill your conjugal duties.” Trembling, Su Wan held up her last line of defense: the addendum promising they would not infringe on each other. He gave a mocking laugh and leisurely tore the paper to shreds. His dark eyes were unfathomable. “Now, here’s an addition to clause four: I, Gu Yanshen, can break our contract whenever I want.”

Just as her defenses were about to crumble, an intimate phone call that made her eyes sting became the only crack of hope in her despair. She struggled to escape, but he pulled her even more roughly into his arms, pressing a scorching kiss to her ear. “Why the rush? You’ve just reminded me that I need to pay your father’s surgery bill tomorrow morning…”

His tenderness is an illusion, and their contract is a prison. She thinks she is just a pawn in a transaction, never realizing that she has long been the prey he carefully set out to ensnare. In this hunting game played in the name of love, who will emerge victorious?
