The Su Group went bankrupt overnight. To save her seriously ill father, Su Qingyuan gritted her teeth and signed a one-year contract, marrying Lu Shiyan, the icy CEO feared by everyone in Beijing's elite circles.
On their wedding night, he left her with a cold warning: “Remember your place. Don't dream of anything you have no right to.”
She kept her head down, hoping only to make it through the contract. But as they clashed again and again, she caught glimpses of the tenderness beneath his cold facade
At a business reception, he shielded her and coldly rebuked a man who tried to grope her: “She's mine. How dare you touch her?”
When someone tampered with her designs, he stood against the opposition to uncover the truth and clear the way for her.
Even when she secretly took a job at a design firm, he quietly quashed the rumors about her being “Mrs. Lu,” protecting her as she pursued her dream.
But eventually, a misunderstanding erupted. Watching him accuse her without hearing her out, she gave up on him, demanded to end their contract, and set out to make it on her own with her studio.
When her Chinese-inspired designs dazzled at Paris Fashion Week, the man who had once lorded over her was crouched outside her studio, awkwardly offering her a bowl of hot porridge. “Qingyuan, I was wrong.”
From icy CEO to devoted pursuer, from contract marriage to lifelong partnership, he cleared away his family's schemes and helped her reach the pinnacle of her career. She helped him overcome the shadows of his childhood and became the sunshine warming his heart.
At their lavish wedding, Lu Shiyan held her close. “I used to think marriage was a contract. It wasn't until I met you that I understood it's a place to come home to.”
Su Qingyuan smiled through her tears. “Then I look forward to the rest of our lives, Mr. Lu: my husband, my partner in life.”
This is a sweet, satisfying comeback story that begins with a contract and ends in true love. Watch a fallen heiress take down a scheming homewrecker and kick the conspirators to the curb, transforming from a CEO's contract wife into a design queen standing at his side.
