A much-loved story circulated in Beicheng’s business circles: Gu Shijin, the decisive and famously woman-averse CEO of the Gu Group, finally married a top-tier female lawyer renowned for her ruthless tactics at the age of thirty.
Only Ning Wan knew the truth. This wasn’t a love story. It was a hunt.
To uncover the business secrets behind the Gu Group, she concealed her family’s three generations of political connections and even worked with a special task force to build a shell business empire. She spent three years playing the part of a socialite in high society, all so she could become the person he trusted most.
“Mr. Gu, I’m marrying you for half of the Gu family fortune.”
At their engagement banquet, she whispered in his ear, her gaze greedy and cold, perfectly maintaining a socialite’s vanity and scheming façade.
Gu Shijin smiled, but the possessiveness in his eyes was bottomless. “Fine. Whatever you want, if I have it, it’s yours. Even my life.”
He was a cunning fox, laying a gentle trap and trying to drag her into the abyss with his devotion;
She was a steadfast hunter, armed with the sword of justice and always ready to strike a fatal blow when he was least on guard.
This was a battle waged without gunfire.
He thought she was his salvation, never realizing she was his judgment;
She thought her heart was still, until he stepped in front of her and took a knife meant for her. Then a crack appeared in her convictions.
“Ning Wan, you’re mine. Even if it’s hell, we’re going down together.”
“Gu Shijin, even if I love you, I’ll still be the one to send you to court.”
When forbidden love collides with the cold letter of the law, can she hold her ground this time and make sure justice is served?
There are not many righteous heroines.
