[Clear-headed, rational, beautiful heroine with a tragic past] x [Gentle and restrained on the surface, obsessive and calculating underneath]
Gu Mingwei never expected that after her father died, the entire Gu family would want to devour her alive.
Her cousin seized power, her aunt tried to force her out, and she couldn't even afford her mother's medical bills.
Just when she had nowhere left to turn, a man appeared:
Pei Yan, Jiangcheng's youngest business tycoon, gentle as jade and impeccably restrained.
“I'll marry you. On one condition: I'll protect the Gu family, and you'll be a good Mrs. Pei.”
“This is a business arrangement. We each get what we need. I won't touch you.”
Perfect. She needed someone to rely on, and he needed a wife.
They'd each get what they wanted. No one would lose.
But she didn't know...
He'd been waiting twelve years for this arrangement.
