Obsessive, powerful man x cool, stunning beauty
The comment Jiang Yin heard most often growing up was: "You're too beautiful. That means you'll have a bad fate."
She heard it so often that she came to believe it.
Until one day, in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window, a man crossed his legs elegantly and looked at her with a faintly mocking smile, a hint of coldness in his expression. "You believe in fate?"
"If not, what else can you give me?"
"What are you missing?"
"Money and love. Mostly money. If I have money, love will follow."
The man smiled. "You're lucky. You met me."
Jiang Yin asked, "What's the price?"
"A three-year contract. It ends when the term is up."

Everyone in City N knew that the Shen family's sole heir was born to privilege, peerlessly handsome, shrewd, and exceptionally intelligent.
Too bad he had been deaf since birth. He was aloof, abstinent, and disliked socializing.
When people suddenly saw him accompanied everywhere by someone, they assumed it was just a fleeting affair that would soon be over.
Little did they know that, on a night abroad while Jiang Yin was studying overseas, she reminded a certain someone that their contract had expired and they should break up.
The next morning, someone knocked on the door.
Outside stood a travel-worn man, his cool aura like snow on a high mountain. His lowered eyes were burning with intensity.
"I'm here to renew our contract."

Before meeting Jiang Yin, Shen Yuzhi's greatest hobby was standing on the roof of his family's skyscraper, watching the traffic below.
After meeting her, his greatest hobby became listening to her beg for mercy at his ear.
Tender desire coursed through his right ear and into his body, even making his empty left ear, which was nothing more than decoration, grow faintly hot.
*Love makes no sound, yet it deafens all.
