He is Lu Shiyan, the cold-blooded kingpin who controls the business world, scarred by family trauma and so gloomy and obsessive that no one dares approach him. She is Wen Ruan, a down-and-out cellist trapped in a desperate situation, buried in debt but armed with nothing but her pride and musical talent.
A contract binds two people who had nothing to do with each other into “husband and wife.”
He thinks he has everything under control, unaware that from the day they first met, her tearful yet stubborn eyes had become the only light he wanted to keep captive in his desolate life.
“Marry me. I’ll pay off your debt.”
“Mr. Lu, this is a marriage of convenience. We each get what we need.”
He is ruthless and merciless to everyone else, but keeps testing her boundaries. His overbearing, possessive “favor” is childish and clumsy.
She keeps her distance and meets force with gentleness, quietly easing the loneliness beneath his sharp edges.
When the contract expires, he tears it up and pins her against the wall. “Wen Ruan, the rules of the game have changed. I want you for the rest of your life.”
From testing each other to falling deeply in love, he dotes on her like no other, and she becomes his only weakness and salvation.
