A cool, vulnerable designer heroine × a devoted, restrained illegitimate-son CEO. Marriage first, love later; a long-planned romance, with both hearts moving toward each other.
At twenty-eight, Su Wan is drained by her whole family and pressured to sell herself in exchange for a bride price. On a rain-soaked night with nowhere left to turn, she is taken in by the most powerful man in the city.
“I need a wife,” he says.
Su Wan thinks it is a contract, a transaction, a whim. She never expects him to protect and cherish her, giving all his tenderness to her alone. It is a joy he has planned for a long time, and a resonance deep in both their souls.
Once a soul is loved, it grows flesh and blood with wild abandon. They are no exception.
