She never wanted his ring. Born into one of Hong Kong’s most powerful families, Cong Yi had everything—wealth, beauty, freedom—except the man she loved. When her parents force her into a political marriage with Wen Shiyi, a cold, ruthless heir from Beijing, she makes one thing clear: she will never love him. Wen Shiyi doesn’t need her love. He needs her name, her family, and her obedience. He offers her a deal— Stay married. Play the perfect wife. He’ll give her everything except his heart. But the more she resists him, the deeper she falls into his carefully controlled world— a world where desire burns beneath calm restraint, where power replaces affection, and where the man she despises may be the only one capable of saving her.
