On the night she finally confessed her feelings, Wen Nuan entered the wrong hotel room—and woke up in the arms of a stranger.

Drunk, confused, and heartbroken, she never expected that one night to bind her to the ruthless and enigmatic CEO, Ye Feimo.

To find her, he boldly posted a half-naked ad of her across the city. To own her, he made her sign a contract as his substitute lover.

She thought it was love. He only saw her as a stand-in.

Wen Nuan frowned. She was no longer the impulsive Wen Nuan she once was, but hearing these words still made her furious, wishing she could slap that reporter. Chen Xueru's face remained calm, showing no anger.
