For eighteen years, Gu Qingyue lived a lie. She was never the true heiress of the Gu family-she was merely a pawn adopted to ward off misfortune for their biological daughter. When the family business began to crumble, her adoptive parents hit a new low: they drugged her and tried to sell her to an old man to secure a bailout.
While fleeing for her life, Qingyue crosses paths with Shang Yuze, a man struggling with the same drug-induced haze. After a night of unexpected passion, these two strangers-who exist in entirely different worlds-find themselves tied together by a marriage certificate.
Shang Yuze is the titan of the elite Shang family. Elegant and ethereal as a god, yet ruthless and lethal in business, he is famous for his cold, disciplined nature and untouchable demeanor. So, when a wedding band suddenly appears on his finger, shockwaves ripple through high society.
The consensus? It's a marriage of convenience for the sake of an heir-nothing more.
Qingyue believes it, too. When rumors surface that Yuze's "First Love" has returned to the country, she leaves a signed divorce decree behind and vanishes. That night, she hits the club with her best friend to drown her sorrows with a few handsome hosts. But as the alcohol kicks in, the face of the man she's flirting with suddenly transforms into Shang Yuze.
Cornered against a floor-to-ceiling window, Qingyue is trapped by his grip. The man's elegant, slender hand circles her waist, his cold eyes now burning with a possessive heat.
Leaning down, his voice drops to a seductive, dangerous whisper against her ear:
"There is no 'first love,' Qingyue. There is only you."
