Lingering Warmth in the Old Harbor

[Revenge among the wealthy + marriage first, love later + powerful duo]

After accidentally catching her stepsister cheating with her fiancé, Wen Ran fled Hong Kong in disgrace…

That night, Lu Chen reached out to her.

For the next three years, she was his bright yet cool-headed executive assistant.

She took the liquor, the admirers, and every unnecessary problem off his hands.

When her three-year contract ended, she handed in her resignation.

Lu Chen gave her two choices: renew her contract or marry him.

She chose the latter.

Not for the title of Mrs. Lu, but because she needed that identity to return to Hong Kong and reclaim everything that belonged to her.

After thirteen years of keeping her head down, she appeared at her stepsister’s engagement party as Mrs. Lu, with her new husband by her side. A man and a woman onstage immediately lost their composure.

Her stepsister panicked. “Wen Ran, you weren’t supposed to, ”

Wen Ran’s lips curved slowly. “Zheng Shiwei, it’s time to wake up from your dream of being a wealthy heiress.”

…

In this game of revenge, Lu Chen used himself as bait, carefully laying his plans one step at a time.

Everyone thought this was a deal in which each party got what they wanted.

Only Lu Chen knew he had been waiting five years for this day.

When the truth came to light and the accident from years ago happened all over again, Wen Ran finally realized

In this marriage of convenience, she had already lost her soul and given away her heart.
