This Time I Will Marry His Enemy

"In my first life, I died broken in the rain while my fiancé checked his watch and drove away. In this life, I’m wearing his fiercest rival’s wedding ring."

Shen Yuelin spent five years being the dutiful fiancée to Liang Zeyu. She poured her family's fortune into his empire, trusted his smiles, and defended his ambitions, only for him to frame her brother for corporate fraud, sell her ancestral silk looms for scrap, and leave her bleeding out in an industrial alley on a freezing October night. Then, she woke up five years in the past. Same city. Same boardroom. Same lavish proposal waiting on velvet. This time, Yuelin doesn't accept the ring. She rejects Zeyu in front of Shanghai’s elite, turns on her heel, and walks straight into the glass tower of the only man her ex has ever truly feared: Gu Tingzhou. Cold, calculating, and untouchable, Tingzhou is the reigning king of East Asian commerce. When Yuelin proposes a two-year marriage of convenience, offering trade secrets in exchange for an impenetrable corporate shield, he agrees under a single, non-negotiable condition: “Never ask me to pretend I love you.” That suits Yuelin just fine. She didn’t marry Gu Tingzhou for a fairy tale; she married him as a weapon. It was supposed to be a bloodless transaction. Separate bedrooms, signed asset firewalls, and an expiration date. But as their revenge campaign begins tearing through Shanghai high society, the lines start to blur: The ruthless chairman who hates domestic interruptions is suddenly cooking noodles at five in the morning just to comfort her after a nightmare. The man who commanded separate bedrooms can't keep his hands from lingering at her waist when the cameras stop flashing. And when an arson fire threatens to destroy her family's heritage, the coldest billionaire in Asia runs straight into the flames to shield her. Yuelin thought she was using Tingzhou to rewrite her murder. She didn't know he had been watching her from the shadows for years. And she definitely didn't realize that the hardest part of surviving her second life wouldn't be crushing her enemies, it would be keeping her heart from surrendering to the man who made revenge look small.
