“Gu Yanzhi, our marriage is just a transaction. Don't cross the line.”
When Shen Qinglan was forced into a substitute marriage, she gave this warning to the man who held the capital in the palm of his hand. She thought it was a deal that served them both, a performance she could walk away from once it was over.
Then, when she was being given a hard time at work, he arrived as the group's president and announced in front of everyone, “My wife's word is my final decision.”
Then, when she was in danger on a rainy night, he became a raging beast, making everyone who had hurt her pay. But when he turned back to her, his eyes were red as he said, “Shen Qinglan, if you ever dare get hurt again, I'll lock you up and keep you where only I can see you.”
Everyone said Gu Yanzhi was cool-headed, self-controlled, and ruthless, yet spoiled his ordinary-born wife beyond all reason.
But when Shen Qinglan discovered that every chance encounter had been carefully arranged by him, even the heroic rescue had been part of his plan, her heart turned cold. She left divorce papers behind and disappeared.
Five years later, she makes a dazzling return at an international jewelry exhibition as a top designer. He breaks through the bodyguards and corners her against a wall before a crowd of onlookers, his voice hoarse and humble:
“Qinglan, I'll make it all up to you. Please, give me one more chance to lose control.”
