Summary
Gu Jingze is the epitome of perfection: impossibly wealthy, undeniably powerful, and devastatingly handsome. He’s the man every man wants to be, and every woman desires… yet, a closely guarded secret keeps him from true intimacy. His life of controlled solitude shatters when he wakes up beside a complete stranger, leading to an immediate, forced marriage.
Enter Lin Che, an ambitious aspiring actress whose life has been anything but easy. Ostracized by her family, she’s fiercely independent and determined to carve her own path to stardom. Her carefully laid plans, however, spectacularly backfire, trapping her in a whirlwind marriage with the notoriously cold and enigmatic Gu Jingze. Now, she must navigate the treacherous waters of high society, fend off jealous rivals, and juggle a burgeoning career—all while sharing a roof with a man she barely knows.
Bound by an unexpected contract, they agree to keep their lives separate. But fate, it seems, has other plans. As Gu Jingze repeatedly appears in her moments of crisis, Lin Che finds herself increasingly drawn to him, questioning if their arrangement is truly just a facade. Will their forced proximity ignite a genuine connection, or are they destined to remain strangers in a gilded cage? Discover their story in Chapter 1!
