The werewolf Claire Bennett had thought that her hard work and saving money to cure her grandmother's illness, followed by a peaceful marriage with her fiancé, would already be the greatest gift of fate. But on the eve of the engagement ceremony, she witnessed her fiancé Oliver cheating and betraying her with her own eyes, shattering even her last bit of security. Adrian Blackthorn, also Calculated, under the pressure of family alliances, inheritance struggles, and old grievances, proposed a secret binding to her that would benefit both parties: she would gain protection and freedom, while he would get an excuse to break free from family control. After marriage, Claire was framed by her boss, slandered by colleagues, and bullied by her family; yet the man who claimed to be just an "auxiliary executive" could always shield her from the storm when she was at her most helpless. As their feelings deepened, Claire gradually realized that his identity, their meeting, and even her betrayal, all seemed to be no coincidence. When her ex-lover returns, her arch-rival sets a trap, suspicion of a replacement clouds the air, and power struggles converge, Claire must decide: whether to escape this marriage filled with lies or to take a risk and surrender herself to the dangerous and powerful Alpha? But what if his initial approach to her was merely a carefully orchestrated plan all along?
