Chained By Contract, Freed By Love

She offered him a contract. He didn’t know it would cost him everything... including his heart.



Han Jiayan is a poor but brilliant college student juggling part-time jobs and a drowning family. Love betrayed him once, and life hasn’t stopped testing him since. When the breathtakingly powerful heiress Li Xinyue—CEO of one of the Four Great Families—offers him a marriage contract, his pride screams no. But hunger, bills, and desperation whisper otherwise.



Li Xinyue doesn't trust easily. Cold, brilliant, and stunningly beautiful, she's always had everything under control—until her family tries to force her into an arranged marriage. Her solution? Hire a husband she can control. Someone pliant, quiet, and poor. Someone like Han Jiayan.



But neither of them expected to fall into their own trap.



As status collides with survival, and power meets vulnerability, their hearts begin to betray their roles. Amid jealousy, secrets, corporate battles, and emotional scars, a fake marriage starts to feel dangerously real.



Can a love born from control blossom into something true?



Or will the walls around their hearts shatter them before they surrender?
