The Rose Princess’s Special Favorite

Su Wan, the most precious jewel of the Rose Duchy, sees her country plunged into turmoil overnight.

To save her homeland as it teeters on the brink, she “sells” herself to Gu Jinyan, a Chinese-born business magnate.

A contract later, she moves into his gilded cage and becomes Mrs. Gu in name only.

He gives her everything she could wish for, but lays down three rules: no interference, no falling in love, no crossing the line.

She remembers her place, playing the part of his obedient wife and doing her best to hide every flutter of her heart.

Until one day, she accidentally enters the top-floor study he never lets anyone near.

Beneath the dim lights, photographs of her from childhood onward cover every wall.

The man who is always so composed wraps his arms tightly around her from behind. His burning breath brushes her ear as he speaks in a husky, restrained voice:

“Wanwan, this isn’t a transaction. From the very first moment I saw you in the royal garden when I was sixteen, I’d been setting this whole thing up for you, for twelve long years.”

It turns out every chance encounter in this world is a deep love he planned long ago.
