The Ice-Cold CEO's Treasured Little Nanny

To pay for her mother’s surgery, Su Wan, whose family has fallen on hard times, takes a job with the Ling family, one of Lin City’s wealthiest households. She expects a living hell working for Ling Mohan, the icy CEO rumored to suffer from severe germophobia and to rule his business empire with an iron fist. But through a series of demanding trials, she unexpectedly touches the past he has kept frozen: from making him taste the low-sugar wagashi she prepared herself, to getting his permission to repair the old pen that was his only childhood keepsake; from his instinctive plea for help when his stomach hurts in the middle of the night, to watching him fiercely defend her when a suitor gives her a hard time. Under the terms of their employer-and-housekeeper contract, the two embark on a game that begins with mutual interest, becomes a test of trust, and ultimately rests on genuine affection.

When debt collectors’ threats push Su Wan to the brink, Ling Mohan anonymously pays her enormous medical bill. When Bai Ruoxi’s malicious taunts uncover the mystery surrounding Su Wan’s hidden past, Ling Mohan tears up his rule against crossing the line. From the anxiety of her first days in the wealthy household to their mutual salvation after feelings blossom, this employment arrangement, which began as a contract, ultimately kindles a blazing love that transcends class and the past as prejudice collides with truth. Meanwhile, the childhood trauma hidden in an old copy of The Little Prince, and Su Wan’s deliberately concealed identity as a wealthy heiress, are quietly weaving a net that will bind their fates even more tightly...
