Lin Xingwan never imagined she would end up having to sell herself to save her art gallery.
What she never expected was that the man buying her would be Lu Jinchen, the ruthless business emperor of legend.
“One-year contract. We each get what we want.” He slid the agreement in front of her. “You save your gallery, and I get my trust fund.”
Lin Xingwan gritted her teeth and signed, telling herself she only had to make it through the year.
The media called them “a couple in name only,” while business rivals claimed they were “free to see other people.” Even Lin Xingwan thought their contract marriage was just a business deal.
Until one day…
He transferred all his shares into her name and said, “Everything I have is yours.”
He made a public declaration of love before the media: “My wife is Stella, the genius designer. But more than that, she’s my wife.”
When people questioned her, he held a press conference and declared, “I’ll stake my life on my wife’s designs.”
When she was in danger, he was the first to rush to her side. “I went to all that trouble to marry her. Who dares lay a hand on my wife?”
Lin Xingwan was stunned. “So this marriage was ‘planned from the start’?”
