Chapter 1 - PROLOGUE

Dr. Wang Yibo grew up a strange and difficult child. From an early age, he had a strong will of his own. If he didn't want to do something, no one could force him. This stubbornness constantly clashed with his father's nature....a domineering man who loved to command and control everyone around him. His word was law, and "no" was never an acceptable answer. Unfortunately, among all his children, it was Yibo who inherited that same unyielding spirit.

Father and son collided again and again until Yibo convinced himself of one painful truth: his father simply hated him.

Events escalated, and eventually Yibo walked away from home, vanishing from his family's world for years. When he resurfaced, he had become a brilliant surgeon...yet he lived like a monk, with no room in his life for desire, romance, or marriage. For him, such things simply did not exist… until one day, everything changed in a single moment.

Xiao Zhan and his younger brother grew up under the watch of his parents. But fate struck hard: his father's violent outburst ended in his mother's death. Orphaned, he and his brother were taken in by an elderly woman...someone their mother had once served as a housemaid.

In that household, there was no hatred, no discrimination, and Zhan lived peacefully for years… until his world, too, was turned upside down.

He Peng—a young man who appeared to the public as a businessman, but secretly lived as a mafia boss—once courted Xiao Zhan. Their relationship ended abruptly when He Peng married someone else, leaving Zhan to quietly endure the heartbreak and move forward. Years later, He Peng returned, divorced, and more powerful than ever. Yet no one knew his true intention: to marry Xiao Zhan.

But why? What was his hidden purpose?

Neither Wang Yibo nor Xiao Zhan had planned for their paths to cross, but destiny brought them together under the same hospital roof. Slowly, feelings grew between them—feelings both tried hard to conceal. Yibo, especially, resisted with all his strength, determined to keep his carefully guarded life closed off from others. He even succeeded in pushing Zhan away… until one day, for a reason only he knew, he proposed marriage.

To Yibo, it was a temporary arrangement...a contract marriage, nothing more. But to Xiao Zhan, who already loved him deeply, it was real.

What will happen when Xiao Zhan learns the truth?

Will Wang Yibo's carefully laid plan hold firm, or collapse?

And will He Peng abandon his own dangerous ambitions...or fight for Zhan to the very end?

✨ A story of pride, heartbreak, and a love that begins as fake… but grows into something real.
