After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Marry My Cold, Abstinent Rival on a Whim

At the engagement party, Shen Qingyao, the adopted daughter of the Shen family, was holding a glass of wine and wearing a gentle smile when she witnessed her fiancé entangled passionately with her stepsister backstage. As the guests raised their glasses and mingled, the glass slipped from her hand and shattered with a crisp crack, like the final collapse of her carefully maintained facade. Faced with humiliation and pressure from her family, she tore off her obedient mask and projected the secretly recorded video for everyone to see. “You can have the Shen family’s son-in-law, little sister.” She turned and walked toward the most distinguished man in the room: Fu Jinyan, CEO of the Fu Group and her “archenemy” in name only. “President Fu, how about a deal? I’ll help you deal with your family’s pressure to marry, and you’ll be my backer.” With a single contract, she became the much-talked-about “Mrs. Fu.” In public, he was a cold, aloof CEO who spoke sparingly and warned her to “know her place.” In private, he stood up for her when others gave her a hard time, “happened” to linger in the hallway outside her perfumery, and left a warm light on when she came home exhausted in the middle of the night. What he kept locked in his study was not evidence of a youthful crush, but the peerless perfume formula she had lost and a shocking secret about her birth... When she dazzled the crowd as the mysterious master perfumer “S” at an international perfume competition, her scumbag ex begged for forgiveness, her stepsister’s schemes were exposed, and Fu Jinyan trapped her in the perfumery, his breath hot against her skin. “Mrs. Fu, every side of you belongs to me alone.” Only then did Shen Qingyao realize that the desperate bargain she thought she had made was actually a carefully laid trap, a game of love in which he had maneuvered her into his arms step by step.
