On the night of their substitute marriage, Gu Yanshen said, “Three years, a marriage of convenience. We each get what we need. Don’t expect anything more.”
Lin Zhiyi smiled. She had been secretly in love with him for three whole years, but he couldn’t even remember who she was.
She was the Lin family’s adopted daughter, treated as a “backup blood bank” since childhood. He was the head of the Gu family, cold and ruthless, who saw love as a transaction. She thought their marriage contract was a way to repay a debt; he thought it was just an act.
Neither of them knew that he had already seen his younger self in her eyes, stubborn and quietly enduring.
When his distrust became a blade that cut her, and she discovered he had treasured his first love for five years, her heart finally died. “President Gu, we’re only bound by a contract.”
When she was framed, she investigated alone, found the real culprit, and made everyone face the truth in public. When he doubted her, she moved out of the master bedroom and made herself invisible.
He realized too late that he had already fallen for her. His long, painful road to winning her back was only just beginning…
Three years later, their contract expires. Will she stay or go? And can he learn how to love someone before he loses her?
