My Chibi CEO's Contracted Heart
By @john1208
Lin Wei, a talented but struggling illustrator burdened by her family's crushing debt, finds her life irrevocably altered when she's coerced into a contract marriage with Gu Chenzhou, the notoriously cold and powerful CEO of Gu Industries. He needs a temporary wife to fulfill a clause in his grandfather's will and secure a crucial inheritance, while she needs an impossible sum to save her ailing father. Trapped in a lavish penthouse that feels more like a gilded cage, Lin Wei navigates the icy indifference of her "husband" and the suffocating expectations of high society. But Gu Chenzhou, despite his formidable exterior, is haunted by a past tragedy, and Lin Wei holds a dangerous secret: she's the anonymous creator of "Tiny Titans," a viral webcomic that mercilessly parodies Shanghai's elite, with Gu Chenzhou as her most frequent, and unflattering, muse. As their lives intertwine, sparks fly amidst the tension, and a formidable rival, Su Mochen, begins to take a keen interest in both Lin Wei and her hidden identity. Can their contract survive the truth, or will their carefully constructed world shatter, exposing fragile hearts beneath chibi exteriors?
