The person Gu Changwei hated most in his life was Shangguan Jin.
After ten years of fighting, from overseas mergers and acquisitions to the local market, from tit-for-tat at auctions to cynicism in private situations, their feud could fill the headlines of Haicheng Financial Edition for three years.
So when Gu Mingyuan told him that the Gu family's capital chain was broken and the only way out was to marry into the Shangguan family, Gu Changwei's first reaction was ridiculous.
What's even more ridiculous is that Shangguan Jin also agreed.
A forced marriage, two people who hate each other, tied into the same penthouse apartment as cold as a morgue. They signed a "non-interference" agreement and agreed to go their separate ways after three years.
But on the night of the press conference, everything was different.
An old copper button with a date from ten years ago appeared in the bathroom stall.
A dusty bloody video was anonymously mailed to the two of them.
A ghost who calls himself "The Collector" begins to spy on their every step in the dark.
Only then did Gu Changwei discover that the truth about the kidnapping case ten years ago had never really passed. Some are digging, some are burying, and some are waiting.
And he and Shangguan Jin, two people bound together by fate and calculation, must play their roles well in this piece of false prosperity and hidden murderous intentions, and continue this dangerous pas de deux——
Until you find the person hiding in the dark.
Until the whole truth of ten years ago is revealed.
Until they discovered that the person who once wanted to win each other most was becoming their only ally.

Rivals from wealthy families were forced to marry, but they found out the truth about the kidnapping case ten years ago...
📌 Two male protagonists | Strong | Suspense | Love grows over time | Trauma healing

He has been my arch-rival for ten years.
They fight each other tit for tat in the mall, and they don't even look at each other when they meet.
But my dad said: You must marry him.
Marry him?
That person who walked past me at a bidding meeting and said, "You won't be counted next time"?
Later I really got married.
Live in his apartment and eat noodles in silence at both ends of the dining table every day.
Until the early morning of that day, I woke up from a nightmare and shivered in the corner.
He opened the door and came in, squatted in front of me and said -
"I'm here."
—
💔 During the kidnapping ten years ago, he was imprisoned for 27 days.
The old scars on my wrists, the shivers on thunderstorm nights, the eyes that never dared to smile...
I thought he was just cold.
It turns out it's not that I'm cold, it's that I'm hurt too deeply and I don't dare let anyone get close to me anymore.
But he was close.
Little by little.
From the note saying "My face is in the refrigerator" to holding my wrist and asking "Is it cold?"
From the wall saying "It's not cold now" to "Have you slept" late at night?
—
Later we found out the truth.
The ransom was divided into three ways.
All the way to Anda, all the way to overseas, all the way——
Entered my house.
My father's name was on that "aftermath list."
"Under observation".
That person is watching us.
From the very first tape, waiting for us to find him.
—
I went back to that basement that day.
The pillar is still there, and those words are still there.
"Who will save me?"
Ten years ago when I wrote this line, I didn't know if I would make it out alive.
Now I'm standing there, the sun shining in from the stairs.
There is someone standing next to me.
"There are people now," he said.
