[The underground fight club’s undefeated legend × the abstinent, obsessive, fiercely loyal man]
Wang Jing, a former UFC world champion, retires and changes her name, taking a job as a junior planner. But after a scheming coworker at the office backs her into a corner, she goes to an underground fight club to fight illegally and raise money for medical bills.
On a stormy night, she stumbles into a top-tier private suite and meets the famously cold and abstinent heir to the Shen family, Shen Qingzhou.
He holds the protective charm she dropped, his gaze scorching. “Marry me in a flash wedding. Sign a one-year contract.”
She thinks they’re simply using each other, unaware that he has been waiting for her for a full eight years.
Eight years ago, on a rainy night, she was covered in blood when she pushed him out of a deadly trap. She was struck on the back of the head with an iron bar and lost her memory, forgetting everything.
He searched for her for 3,021 days, learned all her fighting moves, bribed her landlord, and even sat in the third row while she fought underground.
When the contract is exposed, the whole internet mocks her as a “gold-digging violent maniac.”
She flashes her UFC championship belt on livestream and puts the evil rival in a chokehold with an armbar. “I hit women too, you know.”
He drops to one knee and proposes again. “It wasn’t a contract. I’ve been plotting to make you mine for a long time.”
But when she becomes pregnant, the aftereffects of her concussion flare up. Her heart stops for three minutes during childbirth, and she falls into a vegetative state.
The cold and ruthless CEO becomes a dad who stays up all night, kneeling by the bed with his premature daughter in his arms as he tells her about his eight-year unrequited love. He counts every twitch of her fingers to get through the days.
“Wang Jing, you promised to stay with me for the rest of our lives. Don’t break your promise.”
When she finally opens her eyes, she looks at him, his face covered in stubble, and asks blankly, “Who are you?”
Shen Qingzhou is struck as if by lightning.
But then she suddenly hooks an arm around his neck and nips his lip. “I was kidding, Mr. Shen. This time, I’m the one who’s been plotting for a long time.”
