My Husband Is the Ruthless CEO

"When estranged heiress Shen Lian publicly dumps a flute of champagne across the tailored tuxedo of Lu Jianhao, the feared, untouchable titan of Shanghai commerce, she expects retaliation, not a marriage contract."

With her family on the brink of catastrophic debt, Lian has no choice but to sign away a year of her life. In exchange for clearing the company's financial wreckage, she agrees to wear his platinum ring, play the poised corporate bride in front of the press, and stay out of his way behind closed doors. Lu Jianhao has only one agenda: revenge. Convinced Lian’s family orchestrated the fatal tragedy that destroyed his father fifteen years ago, he plans to use the marriage as a weapon to settle old scores. But he never anticipated a sharp-tongued bride who throws decorative cushions at his arrogance, defends her independence with brilliant forensic instincts, and meets his icy glare without flinching. Behind the closed doors of the Lu mansion, cold hostility detonates into undeniable friction. Midnight meals over a quiet stove, electric glances in executive corridors, and a reckless, rain-soaked dance by the Huangpu River begin to burn through their paper rules. The fake marriage stops feeling fake, and the ruthless CEO starts looking at his wife like she is the only thing on earth he refuses to lose. When corporate sabotage, buried crimes, and a thirty-year conspiracy threaten to take them both down, Lian and Jianhao must decide whether they are sworn enemies destined to burn together, or partners ready to conquer the world. And when the contract finally ends and freedom is offered... what happens if she refuses to walk away?
