On a rainy night, Su Qing was cast out by her family and saddled with a million in debt. With nowhere left to turn, she was rescued by Shen Nan, the ruthless business tycoon people called the Devil.
One contract later, she became the woman he kept hidden from the world.
Everyone laughed at her, calling her cheap and saying she was just a plaything Shen could discard at any time.
No one knew the frenzied possessiveness hidden in his eyes when he fastened a jade cicada pendant around her neck.
"For the duration of this contract, you belong to me alone."
He was cold and domineering, yet every night he held her close, warming away all the cold inside her with his body heat.
She thought it was nothing more than a transaction.
Until a paternity test landed in front of her, and Su Qing completely fell apart.
This contract had been part of a scheme he had been plotting for ten years, from the very beginning.
The jade cicada was a token, and the contract was a shackle. He had planned every step, all to keep her by his side.
As it turned out, she was the obsession he'd lost years ago, a scar on his heart that he couldn't bear to touch, yet couldn't let go of.
This time, he would never let her go.
The full story is a mix of sweetness and angst, with a fiercely doting hero and no abuse. Happy ending.
I thought it was just a typical domineering CEO novel, but it turned out to have a suspense element! The mystery of the broken jade runs throughout, and Su Qing's background and the Shen family's past gradually intertwine, making it seem increasingly complex. Shen Nan appears cold on the surface, but he actually dotes on Su Qing to the core—this contrast is truly captivating. Waiting for updates is agonizing; please, author, update soon!
