Marriage by Contract: The CEO's Unforgettable First Love Can't Stay Hidden

What we call fate is merely a stroke of the pen from a higher dimension.

The meeting between Lu Beichen and Lin Wan had been a carefully planned game from the very beginning. The Lu family's secret, "Pandora," and the "Guiding Crystal" left behind by Lin's father drew them into an ancient war that spanned the stars and crossed dimensions.

The "Anchor" organization, the "Deep Blue" Institute, the "Painter" and the "Reaper"... Open attacks and hidden schemes came one after another. Just when they thought they had reached the truth, they discovered that Earth's conflicts were as insignificant as dust beside the cosmic shadow known as "Guixu."

He was the chosen "Scepter." She was the only "Key." Their child was the "Variable" that would break the balance.

From the heights of the city to the battlefield among the stars, from blood relatives turning against each other to the survival of civilization. They were forced to flee from the "Funeral Ship" as it hunted them, make choices under the gaze of the "Library of Ten Thousand Worlds," and fight back against the manipulations of the "Watcher Over the Game."

This is a love story of struggling onward beneath the shackles of the stars, and an epic of redemption for human civilization, composed on the eve of the universe's end.
