A Contractual Rise to Power with Mr. Zhou

Wei Xizhou is the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy family. She gives everything to rank first and enter the family business, but she can never overcome her father's favoritism toward her useless older brother. On the day she is forced into a marriage, she turns to her longtime rival, Zhou Shiyan, and trades a contract marriage for a new identity and leverage. She wants to rise to power; he uses her to break out of his deadlock. Whoever falls first loses. In a power structure defined by bloodline and birth, Wei Xizhou holds herself to an almost ruthless standard and gradually reclaims the place that should be hers. The story is about more than “rising to power.” It is about a daughter rejected by her family using her ability, determination, and clear-eyed resolve to tear apart prejudice and prove that a person's worth should not be determined by their status, but written by their own hand.
