[Contract marriage | Rekindled romance | Deeply devoted, restrained male lead | Career-driven female lead | Neither has been with anyone else]
Five years ago, Fang Xun vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a cold breakup text.
Five years later, her father's company is on the brink of bankruptcy, and Ling Qiao is forced into a contract marriage with her ex-boyfriend.
She draws a clear line: when the three-year term is up, they'll owe each other nothing. The marriage is just a transaction.
But she gradually discovers that his home was decorated based on the designs she drew seven years ago, and that he has quietly taken care of every problem she's faced.
After a kiss in the study that got out of hand, she asks, eyes red, “What do you really think of me?”
The man pulls her into his arms, his voice hoarse and trembling. “Qiao, I've waited five years. How could I possibly let you go?”
