To a ruthless TCM Co. Ltd. heiress like Miu, who handles human lives like calculated transactions, a compliant toy like Lena was supposed to be nothing more than a passing amusement. But the game changes when the leash becomes an anchor. What began as casual ownership morphs into a suffocating, obsessive possessiveness, leaving a cold-blooded billionaire completely trapped by the very devotion she bought. Miu always gets what she wants, but what happens when the one she desires is entirely willing to burn herself to ashes just to keep her warm?

Their marriage is expensive, legal, and empty. Lena and Miu live together without touching, speak without meaning, and look at each other like rivals instead of wives. But some things don't stay buried, especially when desire starts wearing the same face as hatred, and the distance between them becomes the most dangerous place to stand.

Lena and Miu study business at the same university. They sit next to each other in class, walk home together, and share ordinary days. Lena knows she has feelings for Miu. She never crosses the line. Miu believes they are just friends. She wants to keep it that way-until something slowly begins to change. This is a quiet story about friendship, waiting, and feelings that grow without being named.

Miu thought she had already chosen her future. A marriage. A stable life. A path that had already been laid out for her. Then Lena became a problem. Because she was supposed to be her best friend. Not the first person she thought about when she woke up. Not the one who made her question everything. As her marriage begins to unravel and the weight of her family's expectations grows heavier, Miu finds herself torn between the life she built for everyone else... And the one her heart has been quietly asking for all along. A slow-burn romance about love, guilt, healing, and finding the courage to choose yourself.

Lena and Miu fall back into love, but it lasts only a couple of minutes-long enough to feel affectionate but short enough to cause pain.

She wanted a quiet life among the books. Lena left behind a past she never chose. Now she spends her days surrounded by stories, sipping matcha, and pretending the past doesn't exist. It's simple. It's safe. It's everything she never knew she needed. Then a woman walks into the library with a smile like sunlight and eyes that hold something dangerous behind the warmth. --- She wanted to be unseen. Miu controls an empire from the shadows-billions of dollars, seventeen countries, and a secret identity so carefully constructed that even intelligence agencies only have rumors. She is kind. She is cruel. She is whatever she needs to be. But when she meets a librarian with Aphrodite's face and a quiet kindness that feels like home, she starts to want something she can't buy, command, or control.

She broke her heart to build an empire. Now, she needs her to save it. Miu Vongviphan is the youngest Chairwoman in the history of her family's dynasty. To the business world, she is the "Ice Queen", ruthless, efficient, and untouchable. But to secure her position against a boardroom of vultures and a dying matriarch, Miu needs the one asset money can't buy: a soul. Five years ago, Lena was the love of Miu's life, until Miu shattered her heart to pursue ambition in London. Now, Lena is a struggling florist fighting to keep her shop, The Glasshouse, afloat in a city that wants to swallow it whole. When Miu returns with a proposition, a six-month marriage contract in exchange for clearing Lena's debts, Lena knows she should say no. She knows Miu is dangerous. She knows Miu views people as line items. But Lena takes the deal. It was supposed to be strictly business: smile for the cameras, charm the grandmother, and secure the vote. But within the glass walls of Miu's penthouse, the lines between the past and the present begin to blur. As old wounds reopen and new passions ignite, Lena realizes that Miu isn't just fighting for a company, she's hiding a devastating secret about why she really left five years ago. In a game of high-stakes corporate warfare where every move is analyzed, the only thing more dangerous than the lie... is the truth. Can a love built on a contract ever be real? Or is this just another calculated risk?

When a playful slip-up turns into something neither of them can ignore any longer, Lena and Miu discover that sometimes the line between a lighthearted joke and hidden desire is thinner than you think - and some risks are worth the thrill.
