Contract Marriage: My Ice-Cold Archrival Spoils Me Rotten

"Lu Ruoxi, marrying you is purely a business deal. Don't expect me to fall for you."

"Likewise, Miss Lin. Your romantic interests have nothing to do with me."

When they signed a contract marriage agreement, Lin Qingxue launched into a sharp-tongued retort, her eyes full of disdain for her "high school nemesis."

She's the vice president of Xingyao Entertainment, a haughty heiress who single-handedly made Ji Yuluo, the woman she's secretly loved for years, a top-tier star.

Meanwhile, Lu Ruoxi is the president of Lu Group, a cold, aloof beauty. Back in high school, one "You have no manners" from her was enough to make Lin Qingxue resent her to this day.

Forced to live together after getting married, the two make bickering part of their daily routine.

"Has Vice President Lin turned the marital home into a fan-support station? There are more of Ji Yuluo's merchandise items than documents," Lu Ruoxi says, raising an eyebrow in her icy tone.

Lin Qingxue shoots back with a cold laugh: "Still better than turning the study into a freezer. You manage to give off a 'keep away' aura just by making coffee. You're a thousand-year-old iceberg."

Lin Qingxue thinks Lu Ruoxi hates her too, but no one knows that Lu Ruoxi keeps a secret diary of her high school crush in her desk drawer, filled with details about Lin Qingxue.

The chocolates and study materials sent anonymously were mistakenly believed to be gifts from Ji Yuluo, the woman she secretly loved.

Then Ji Yuluo betrays her for career opportunities, fabricates evidence to push her into the abyss, and leaves her facing an online storm of abuse. Lu Ruoxi is the only one who stands in front of her, exposing the manipulative homewrecker and turning the tide.

Once the crisis is over, she rests her forehead against Lin Qingxue's and confesses sincerely: "Lin Qingxue, when our contract expires, let's renew it for the rest of our lives."

Later, Lu Ruoxi takes out the diary she's treasured for years, her eyes slightly red. "I was the one who gave you those gifts back then. And I really do love you."

Lin Qingxue is stunned, remembering the gifts that mysteriously appeared in her desk in high school, as well as the breakfasts Lu Ruoxi quietly prepared without cilantro, the project proposals she stayed up late helping revise, and the resolute way she stepped in to shield Lin Qingxue from drinks...

All this time, her icy nemesis Lu Ruoxi had loved her so deeply.
