Su Mo, a young heiress whose family has fallen on hard times, accidentally collides with Gu Yanchen, the business world’s “Living Hades,” at an exclusive club while trying to save her gravely ill mother. A glass of red wine splashes across his million-yuan suit, but also brings her an outrageous contract: “Be my fiancée for three months. I’ll give you a hundred million and help you avenge the Su family’s blood feud.”
She raised an eyebrow and named her terms: “Add one more thing. Give me the position of deputy director at Gu Corp, and let me deal with my enemies myself.”
Everyone laughed at her audacity, never guessing that this seemingly docile “contract fiancée” had an extraordinary business mind and a sharp streak that never let a grudge go unanswered. As soon as she joined Gu Corp, she used an optimization plan to silence her doubters, set a trap with a contract that bankrupted the enemies who had swallowed up the Su family’s business, and even bested everyone in a debate at an international summit, defending Chinese companies’ reputation.
Meanwhile, the supposedly cold and ruthless Mr. Gu quietly laid his plans behind her. His old flame provoked her? He declared his claim in front of everyone: “No one else gets to interfere with my woman.” His family elders gave her a hard time? He shielded her: “What concerns her concerns me.” Her enemies struck back? He set a vast net: “Touch a single hair on her head, and I’ll leave you with nothing.”
From mutual testing under a contract from the start to effortless teamwork in battle, from the empty title of “Mrs. Gu” to a bond carved into their very bones, their relationship transformed. As the three-month deadline approached, Gu Yanchen tore up the contract and placed half of Gu Corp’s empire before her. “Su Mo, forget being deputy director. Be my real wife, and I’ll give you my entire business empire as your dowry.”
She smiled brightly and slapped a share-transfer agreement down in front of him. “Marriage is an equal partnership. From now on, I’ll protect you.”
