The day her fiancé cheated on her with her best friend, Lin Wan turned around and married his powerful uncle, Lu Chen.
To her, marriage was the sharpest weapon for getting revenge on her cheating ex. To him, it was a mutually understood transaction.
She thought Lu Chen was an iceberg, a tool. But she gradually discovered a complexity that unnerved her.
He said, “Don't use my name to cause trouble.”
Yet when her ex mocked her, he put an arm around her waist in front of everyone and declared, “If you can't hold on to your place as Mrs. Lu, I'll make sure you do.”
Their agreement stated, “No interference in each other's affairs. Keep your distance.”
Yet when she was harassed at a late-night business dinner, he came in person, shielding her with the coldest expression and the bluntest words: “She's mine. No one else gets to lecture her.”
He warned her, “Don't fall for me. There's no future for us.”
Lin Wan had thought this was a deal where they each got what they wanted. But she was the first to lose her heart, undone by the indulgence behind Lu Chen's icy mask.
Only later did she discover that the truth behind their marriage was far more shocking than revenge, and that Lu Chen, this iceberg of a man, was far more scorching than she had imagined.
