Synopsis:
Passionate and alluring doctor x Reserved and aloof ice-cold CEO, arranged marriage turned love
Gu Jihuan first met Lu Shinian at a bar, during her first drunken night after being dumped.
When she looked up, she saw that air of noble refinement. The woman’s features were elegant, her diamond earrings sparkling under the neon lights.
She approached him, her wine-tinged breath enveloping Lu Shinian. “Want a drink?”
Lu Shinian’s icy gaze swept over her, as cold as an iceberg.
Gu Jihuan, in her flamboyant red dress, her eyes flushed crimson, was as vibrant as a crimson rose.
The Lu Family had recently acquired a private hospital, and Lu Shinian, as chairman, personally inspected Qingnan Hospital.
As she entered the hospital, she recognized the familiar eyes above the surgical mask. Dressed in green scrubs, she hurried past Lu Shinian without a glance.
The renowned cardiac surgeon of Jiang City, known as “the knife,” was privately this dazzling crimson rose.
A knife had pierced her heart, leaving behind a dazzling red rose etched into its depths.
Late at night in the underground parking garage, the rear window of a black Cayenne rolled down. Lu Shinian closed his laptop. “Doctor Gu, finally off work?”
Gu Jihuan stood outside the car, her smile radiant. “Big Iceberg Lu, we’re just arranged marriage partners. Why are you being so attentive?”
“It’s not attentiveness,” Lu Shinian replied. “I just don’t want to see someone taking advantage of the situation to skip home, go to a bar, and pick up someone else.”
Gu Jihuan didn’t know that, despite being an arranged marriage, she was the one Lu Shinian had specifically chosen.
Once the iceberg melts, its love surges like a vast ocean.
Trigger Warnings:
-Same-s3x marriage is legal in this setting.
-The setting is fictional. In reality, experienced cardiac surgeons are typically older. Here, Gu Jihuan is set to be thirty years old. This is a fictional setting within the novel; if you’re bothered by this, please don’t read.
-The female lead has been mistreated in the past, so she has a former girlfriend, but they never had a sexual relationship.
