The Time-Limited Love and Marriage Novel

A man chooses her out of curiosity; she accepts him for peaceful sleep. Their hidden marriage lasts one year under strict terms—mutual benefit without love. Yet he proves possessively domineering, protecting her fiercely while allowing himself to control her. Initially, others sympathize with him, believing she is unworthy. Then her true identities emerge: a brilliant hacker, an accomplished miracle doctor, and a formidable ghost operative. Suddenly, people pity her instead, questioning why such an extraordinary woman would marry a disabled man. The twist arrives when he rises from his wheelchair, unveiling a vast business empire built during his years of apparent confinement. Now society envies their combined talent and beauty. Yet as fortune favors them both, she discovers the bitter truth: she is merely a substitute in his heart. Love becomes poison disguised as sweetness—believing in it means losing everything.
