Lin Yun, the youngest person ever to take the helm of the Lin Group, is cool-headed, self-possessed, and ruthless in business. But because of childhood trauma, he has nothing but contempt for love. To secure his business empire, he needs a marriage: no love required, just a contract.
Liu Yun joins the company as an executive assistant with outstanding grades, hoping to save her family business from crisis. But at the welcome party for new employees, she is named President Lin’s “contract bride.”
“One year of marriage. We stay out of each other’s affairs. When the term ends, we divorce and each gets what they need.”
He coolly hands her the agreement. She grits her teeth and signs her name.
She thinks it’s a transaction they both understand:
· He thinks she’s after his money; she thinks he’s cold and heartless.
· He enjoys her thoughtfulness and care; she makes use of his resources and connections.
But when his stomach pain flares in the middle of the night, she stays by his side until dawn;
When someone makes things difficult for her, he steps in to defend her;
When his childhood scars are laid bare, she gently holds him and says, “I’m here”;
When her dreams are crushed, he clears the way for her...
“Liu Yun, the contract is void.” He tears up the agreement, his eyes more earnest than she has ever seen. “But I hope you’ll truly become Mrs. Lin.”
From locking horns to falling helplessly in love,
From pretending to be in love to loving each other with all their hearts.
In this marriage that began as a transaction, they gave each other their truest feelings.
