Serena is an orphan. Raised in her uncle's home, she endures years of cold indifference and cruelty. But the final blow comes when her cousin, desperate to steal her fiancé, sets her up to spend the night with a stranger right before her wedding. Facing her indifferent fiancé, Serena gambles everything. She signs a marriage contract with the man in her bed and walks away from the hell she once called home. Then, she makes sure to teach her cheating fiancé and conniving cousin a painful lesson! Little does she expect—her "ruthless" methods intrigue her contract husband, Ethan. "You have great genes. Let's take this partnership further—give me a child, and I'll give you everything you want." Serena glances at the wealthy, attractive Ethan. "Deal." What starts as a transaction soon turns into something more. Ethan pampers her beyond imagination, standing by her side as she tears down those who wronged her. With him, her once bleak life burns as brightly as the sun.
