His Love Became My Prison

The day they signed the contract, Mu Xiao promised to “pamper” Li Che for a year. In return, she would give up her freedom and her heart. He gave her the finest things money could buy, yet emotionally pushed her into an icy abyss. Li Che knew her place and never dared to fall for him, until she realized that whenever he looked at her, his fathomless eyes held the shadow of someone who looked just like her.

It turned out that all his pampering was an elaborate act of mourning, carried out through her. When the woman he truly loved returned and the contract expired, Li Che smiled as she signed the termination papers, believing she was finally free. But the man who had never spoken of love completely panicked the moment she turned to leave.
