[Contract marriage between sworn enemies × A husband’s all-out groveling pursuit]
Shen Xiyao regrets signing the “marriage contract” almost immediately. Her “husband,” Lu Tingjun, is the Air Force’s notorious tyrant who shouted at and pressured her in the emergency room just last week.
He needs the marriage to pass a political background check and compete for the position of elite test pilot. She needs resources to build a life-saving laboratory. The sworn enemies begin a life together, as incompatible as fire and ice. She is professional and composed, the one territory he cannot command.
When he goes missing on a mission and she lies alone on the operating table, losing their child, she finally sees the truth: she will always be expendable in his grand scheme.
She hands him the divorce papers and disappears without a trace.
Later, the man who conquered the skies casts aside all his pride in front of a watching crowd, eyes red as he begs her. “Dr. Shen, please... come back to me.”
Meanwhile, his game of chess with Gu Qingyan, the heiress he is to marry for an alliance, is growing more perilous with every move. When steely resolve meets tenderness, in this high-stakes game where everything is on the line, whoever falls first loses it all.
