The Young Lady’s Having a Breakdown: Her Fiancé Became a Contract Worker?

When he was sixteen, the prestigious Gu family collapsed overnight. Gu Yan, the family’s only son, went to the Shen family with a marriage contract and all the pride of a young man to call off the engagement. But the Shen family, known for its kind and honorable values, refused to take advantage of them in their time of hardship, so they replaced the marriage agreement with a ten-year contract. But when he met the girl hailed as the heiress of the capital’s most prominent family, he fell for her completely. “Hey! Dad told me you’re Gu Yan, my fiancé, right? From today on, I’ve got your back! If anyone dares bully you, tell me and I’ll beat them up!” For the next ten years, Gu Yan, who should have been a pampered young nobleman of the capital, worked tirelessly under the heiress of its most powerful family, playing the role of her fiancé in name only. Yet all the effort and love he poured into her earned him no sincere affection, only her sense of entitlement and ever-increasing caprice. When the ten-year term ended, Gu Yan left in sorrow. It took the arrival of a new rival for the young heiress to finally come to her senses. She had been in love with him all along. But can a love that has been disappointed be rekindled? Can a heart worn cold beat again? Gu Yan thought their relationship was over for good. Who could have guessed that the once impossibly spoiled heiress would, for the first time, clutch his sleeve and cry in front of him? “I was wrong. Will you come back?”
