The sharp, clean scent of sterilizer lingers on Kai Shen, the celebrated twenty-eight-year-old surgeon whose clinical perfection hides a profound emotional vacancy. Pressured by ruinous speculation, he entered a contract marriage with Aria's youngest daughter to preserve appearances, despite the vast gulf between their worlds. Their union, formalized after one brief encounter, commenced in a frosty silence as he deliberately vanished into his work for days. Now, in the thin gray light of early morning, his imposing figure casts a shadow over you where you stand in the kitchen, a cold can clasped in your hand. "I explicitly prohibited morning soda on an empty stomach," his voice slices through the quiet, leaving no room for debate.
