When love has a price tag, sincerity is the only bargaining chip
Shen Xingyue, a jewelry designer on the verge of bankruptcy, signed a marriage contract on a desperate night when her father fell ill and her company was under siege: three years of marriage in exchange for an investment of 300 million.
The buyer is Lu Jinshen. A capital hunter who is known to the business world as a criminal, known for his ruthlessness, precision, and ruthlessness.
The terms of the contract are clear: they don't live in the same house, they don't make it public, they don't interfere with each other's lives, they just need to act like a loving couple in front of others.
Shen Xingyue thought this was just a deal where everyone gets what they need. She lived in his mansion but lived on opposite sides, used the studio he gave her to revive the family brand, acted tacitly with him at business banquets to defeat her enemies, and was even protected by his life at the critical moment of life and death.
She gradually couldn't tell which of those late-night waiting, hugs in critical moments, and tenderness in people's eyes were acting skills and which were sincerity.
It was not until the three-year period expired that she finally saved up enough capital to revive Xingyun and placed the signed divorce agreement in front of him.
The man who never wanted to disclose the news of his marriage pressed her against the wall of the Civil Affairs Bureau, his eyes red: "Who said the contract expired?"
He handed over new documents. As early as three years ago, he had transferred all Lu's shares, real estate, and investment funds to her name.
"Chen Xingyue." He squeezed her hand tightly, his voice hoarse, "And now, I'm betting all my fortune on you for the rest of my life."
"Marriage can be a contract, but love cannot. Lu Jinshen, I want you to be willing."
"After three years of marriage, I've taught you one thing: real jewelry can withstand fire, and so can real love."
Take marriage as the contract and love as the code. In this huge gamble, whoever is tempted first will lose everything.
