[The scheming heir to a conglomerate x the glamorous, flirtatious actress]

[Contract romance / intense push and pull / pretend turns real]

Everyone in Linzhou's high society knows Xu Shaoting, the man in charge of Tianxu Group.

They say he is decisive, ruthless, and generous with money. He stands at the top of this world of wealth and fame, and plenty of people are eager to throw themselves into his arms.

Yet the place at his bedside has remained empty until now.

The starlet Wen Jia is gorgeous and alluring, a top-tier star.

She and Xu Shaoting had only crossed paths a handful of times. She never expected to see him again, let alone have him approach her of his own accord.

Even more unexpectedly, Xu Shaoting presented her with a contract:

"Pretend to date me for a year. After that, I'll give you a generous sum."

He wore a sharply tailored suit and overcoat, his handsome features composed and carefree as he said it.

Wen Jia signed the contract, bargaining for career opportunities.

It was only acting, after all, and that was what she did best.

From then on, he always kept a bedroom free for her in his villa, but she never stayed there.

Until one day, drunk and barely conscious, she stumbled into that room. In a daze, she murmured his name, then felt a kiss land on her forehead.

She didn't know that a tall, slender figure was watching her sleep beside the bed. He was fully dressed, shirt and tie perfectly in place; only his tightly working Adam's apple betrayed how hard he was restraining himself.

The next morning, she woke up in his arms.

-

In public, they acted like a couple who could barely stand each other. In private, they couldn't keep their hands off each other.

Everyone outside their relationship suspected these contract lovers of scheming against one another,

but only Wen Jia knew that even a man who never lost his composure could, late at night in bed, press her again and again when she was most lost in passion:

"Tell me, did you get into character with him?"

-

She knew this relationship wouldn't last, so she forced herself to stay clearheaded. On the night their contract expired, she left him with one line: "I've had enough of acting," then turned and walked away.

He agreed, and she cut him out of her life completely.

The month after they ended their contract, a topic hit the trending searches: #WenJiaRumoredRomanceExposed#

The usually dignified and self-possessed man went mad looking for her.

"Is the relationship real or not?" His voice trembled, low and hoarse.

"Our contract is over. Chairman Xu, please show some restraint."

Before she could finish, Xu Shaoting's possessive kiss fell upon her, leaving her nowhere to run.

Their breaths mingled, and his voice was frighteningly husky:

"This kiss is the second contract. This time, there won't be an end date."
