Billionaire CEO Gu Qisen is trapped. His ruthless grandfather's ultimatum: marry a complete stranger for one year, or his entire family empire—the legacy he built—will be handed to his despised step-brother. This isn't a wedding; it's a humiliating, high-stakes contract. But when his \"contract wife\" arrives, she’s not the conniving gold-digger he expected. She's the seemingly innocent girl from a forgotten past encounter. His immediate solution? Call the police. Humiliate her. Drive her out. Yet, in a desperate, scandalous move to avoid arrest, she screams a lie so outrageous it freezes everyone present, publicly implying an intimacy that never occurred. Now, the man who wanted her gone is inextricably bound to a woman who just fabricated a shocking, private secret, turning their cold, forced union into an explosive public spectacle. His empire is safe, for now. But what price will he pay for a wife who isn't afraid to lie that boldly?
