Love, an Abyss

At twenty-two, Zhou Li’s life falls apart when she receives the devastating news that her younger sister’s leukemia has returned. Faced with astronomical medical bills and an ultimatum to stop treatment, she has no way to sell her home or get a loan, and is on the brink of despair.

Just then, Lu Chengyuan, the “Iceberg” CEO who commands the business world, offers her a lifeline: he is willing to cover every expense.

But there’s no such thing as a free lunch. When Zhou Li gathers her courage and enters the towering skyscraper that symbolizes power and wealth, she finds no charity waiting for her, only a cold transaction.

He looks down at her, his voice calm but leaving no room for argument. “I can save your sister, but the price is your freedom.”
