"The biggest blessing in my life was meeting you. The greatest misfortune was hurting you." — Ye Feimo

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.

When the woman he truly loved returned, Wen Nuan vanished without a trace.

But it was already too late.
Ye Feimo finally realized that the only woman he truly loved... was the one he let go.

"Xueru, don't cry anymore." Tang Shuwen coaxed her gently and patiently. Chen Xueru stopped crying, quite surprised by his sudden halt. She had thought that even if she didn't want to, he would continue.

Gu Rui had been like that before, and she thought all men were like that.

She also knew that suppressing one's desires was painful for a man.

She turned her head to look at Tang Shuwen. In the dimly lit room, the man's deep eyes held anxiety and tenderness, without anger or disappointment, only affectionately comforting her.

Chen Xueru's heart stirred, feeling a bitter ache.
