[Fate's bargaining chips + impossible choices + deadly secrets + countdown threats]
After my family was destroyed, I became a caged bird in the Zhou household.
To stay alive, I schemed to get pregnant with the Zhao heir's child. We signed a sham-marriage agreement, I played the sweet, docile girl, and he played the cold-blooded capitalist.
Then, on the 280th day of my pregnancy, I stumbled upon a secret in his study: the dying man in that yellowed photograph was the gravely injured drifter I'd once saved.
Zhao Bicheng, the most unhinged heir of the Zhao family, had hated everyone ever since the trauma of going missing at the age of six.
He gripped my chin and sneered. “Lu Wanting, you're the pawn I despise most.”
Yet on a rainy night, he blocked my way at the door, covered in blood. “Have the baby, and you'll belong to me.”
When the Zhou family joined forces with the Zhao family's collateral branch to frame me with fabricated evidence of “cheating,” he tore up the divorce papers himself and shielded me behind him.
“Touch a hair on her head, and I'll turn the Zhou family into a graveyard.”
As it turned out, we had long been bound by two decades-old cases. The red thread of our childhood betrothal had been wrapped around our wrists since we were children.
The night he went missing, my father had been shot while saving him. And the deaths of my parents concealed the bloody truth of a power struggle within the Zhao family.
On the night I gave birth, a kidnapping erupted. He went alone, his white shirt stained with blood as he held me tightly in his arms.
When all the secrets finally came to light, the unhinged CEO at last bowed his head.
“Lu Wanting, all the sins of my life were so I could meet you at the end of it.”
