(Flashy, openly flamboyant rich young master / brooding, gloomy ghost of a professor × honest, low-energy, ailing office worker + 1vN + coercive romance + all male leads are virgins. Angsty romance, everyone is unhinged.)
Lin Haijing got into a car accident and wound up buried in debt, so she signed a two-year marriage contract with her gaming partner.
She thought it was just a transaction where they both got what they wanted.
The moment the wedding ceremony ended, she ran into Ling Yuanzhen.
He was there on the night of the deal, in a nightmare she never wanted to remember.
To make matters worse, her old flame was Lu Xilang's closest friend, and Lu Xilang was her fiancé.
She fled the wedding without a second thought and sped down the highway, but she couldn't get away.
Lu Xilang laid all his devotion at her feet.
Ling Yuanzhen stood in the shadows, holding the shameful secrets of her past, and closing in on her step by step.
A past that had to stay hidden. A marriage contract built on lies.
Lin Haijing was burdened by psychological shackles and guarding a huge secret.
She had to hide the truth from her husband, evade a madman, and protect her adoptive brother, who lived far away in another country.
The lies would eventually be exposed.
When the bloody truth came to light, none of the three would have anywhere left to run.
