The CEO’s Forced Love for His Stand-In

[Obsessive, brooding CEO × tenacious, ambitious, stubborn pure-hearted heroine] [Mutual salvation] [Intense romantic push and pull] Finance intern Lin Zhixia's mother is critically ill, so she signs a dating contract with Gu Chenyuan, CEO of the Gu Group. All because Lin Zhixia looks like his first love. At first, they both think it's a stand-in game where neither of them will fall in love. But as they grow closer time and again, they both gradually fall into the trap called love. Beneath Gu Chenyuan's cold exterior and composed mind lies an obsessive, sinister heart with an overwhelming need for control. Lin Zhixia is his, and can only be his. Every smile, every frown belongs to him. It was supposed to be just a contract, just a stand-in. So when did she become the only woman in his heart and mind? With her mother gravely ill and her father fleeing with all their money, Lin Zhixia, who has no faith in love, resolutely signs the contract. Gu Chenyuan watches her, controls her, and even resorts to force. But all she sees is a man who is desperately insecure, hiding his vulnerability behind a cold mask. Beneath Gu Chenyuan's extreme possessiveness, Lin Zhixia experiences, for the first time in her life, a rare and precious kind of devotion. Two lonely souls longing to love and be loved use a contract as their cover as they find their way through romance, becoming each other's light and salvation. Read with caution: Contains forced romance and overwhelming possessiveness. If that's not your thing, proceed carefully.
