[Older Man, Forced Love] [Suffocating Possessiveness] [Obsessive and Domineering] [Powerful Man, Vulnerable Woman] [Both Chaste]
Cool, independent designer ✖️ crazed, obsessive CEO
To save her grandmother and keep her studio afloat, Li Feiwan signs a one-year lover contract and becomes Pei Jichuan's possession.
This man, who stands at the top of the pyramid, rewrites her life with a check, his tone as forceful as a command: "Everything you have belongs to me."
He gives her a life of luxury and helps her design brand make a comeback, but he also confines her with his icy control: at banquets, he forces her to wear revealing gowns and endure contemptuous stares; late at night, he takes her by force, sparing her not a shred of tenderness.
Li Feiwan guards her heart and reminds herself that this is only a transaction, yet when she sees him frown over another woman, her heart aches beyond her control.
Pei Jichuan, who considers feelings meaningless, watches this stubborn little wildcat struggle in her cage and reveal her vulnerability. The "novelty" he feels for her quietly begins to change into something else.
As the one-year term nears its end, the truth pierces their disguise. This entanglement, begun in the name of mutual benefit, has long since made it impossible to tell who has imprisoned whom.
He grips her chin, his eyes churning with an obsession unlike anything before: "When the contract expires, don't even think about leaving."
