[Powerful CEO] + [Contract Lover] + [Modern Romance] Xu Zhixia never imagined she would end up selling herself to save her father.
She signed a contract with a man named Huo Xingzhou. From that day on, her dignity was sold, but she never expected to lose her heart along with it.
Huo Xingzhou, head of the Huo family in Jingbei, is cold-blooded, ruthless, and decisive.
In everyone’s eyes, he was born without warmth. He had never even given his fiancée, Lin Mengyao, who had pursued him for three years, so much as a second glance.
Yet for some reason, he had an almost obsessive desire to possess Xu Zhixia.
He gave her two million yuan. She returned it.
He gave her three million yuan. She returned that, too. He had seen plenty of women throwing themselves at him for money, but she alone was stubborn enough to make him lose control.
But Xu Zhixia had her own principles: he was another woman’s fiancé, and she didn’t want to be the other woman.
She begged him again and again to let her go, but all she got in return was an even tighter grip. “You signed the contract yourself. And now you want out?”
When Lin Mengyao slapped a ten-million-yuan check down on the table, when her father’s oxygen tube “accidentally” came loose at the hospital, and when threatening texts kept pouring in one after another, Xu Zhixia finally understood: this deal was never something she could end just because she wanted to.
A secret from three years ago, the fall of a family, a missing older brother... All the truths lay in wait in the shadows, awaiting the right moment to erupt.
What Xu Zhixia didn’t know was that the lofty man before her was just as inexperienced as she was.
