Keeping the Bankrupt Heir

Five years ago, Vera, a poor college girl, confessed her love to Leon Ashford, the most admired rich heir on campus, and was publicly humiliated: "Someone like you is only after the Ashford fortune." Five years later, the Ashford empire collapses, and the mysterious buyer who takes over the family mansion and every debt they owe turns out to be Vera herself, now a powerful self-made CEO. She offers one contract: stay by her side for one year, and every debt will be erased. The proud bankrupt heir signs with a smirk, believing he still holds the upper hand, until he discovers that she never wanted to be conquered by him; she is the one who plays with him. From defiance to shame, from craving to jealousy, Leon falls step by step under the control of the woman he once looked down on. When she finally ends the contract and sets him free, he realizes the only place he belongs is by her side. He runs back through the pouring rain, tears up the contract with his own hands, and confesses at the campus fountain where their story began. Five years ago she chased the light toward him; this time, he chases the light back to her, willingly, and forever.
