[Marriage First, Love Later + Pretend Couple + Healing Each Other + Devoted to Each Other]
[“Down-on-her-luck” heiress and ambitious, calculating cellist] [“Well-behaved” heir and cold, ruthless, obsessive magnate]
[Ming Zhi & Huo Zhixu]
/A deal, and a mutual, unspoken fall into temptation./
*
A marriage contract, for a term of three years.
-
Ming Zhi met Huo Zhixu at the lowest point in her life.
“I have the key evidence to clear your father’s name. The condition is that you marry me.”
With that one offhand remark, he had Ming Zhi completely at his mercy.
**
When news of their marriage broke, people from both sides of the law sent gifts, flocking to the Huo family’s door.
In the eyes of Jiangcheng, they were a loving couple.
What no one knew was that
there was nothing between them but use and calculation.
He craved the warmth of her body, and she used his power. Yet on countless nights, when darkness was deepest, they became each other’s only solace.
As for love?
To Ming Zhi, it was worthless. Self-interest always came first.
Until the day Huo Zhixu lost control after drinking.
He smashed a bottle against the Song family’s eldest son’s leg, breaking it.
Then he grabbed the man by the throat and warned him viciously, “Insult her again, and I won’t hesitate to take your third leg, too.”
-
“What are you doing?”
Ming Zhi retreated again and again as Huo Zhixu advanced step by step.
Reeking of alcohol, Huo Zhixu pinned her in a corner.
“What am I doing?” He gripped the divorce papers tightly, his eyes dark. “You want to divorce me? I don’t agree.”
*
/Our unspoken understanding, losing control again and again, falling for each other again and again./
