Evelyn Hart gave her whole heart to Ethan Cole—only to be treated as a stand-in for his first love and finally dumped by a single text message. On graduation day he shows up at her dorm to accuse her in public, and she fires back with something sharper: she is marrying into the Cole family after all—just not him. She is marrying his father. Adrian Cole, CEO of the Cole Group, is the mature, powerful billionaire behind an arranged Hart-Cole alliance, and what begins as revenge slowly turns into the real thing. Inside the company Evelyn proves herself, exposing a tainted supplier and winning the compliance battle; when Ethan forges family trust documents to seize the empire and Natalie leaks Evelyn’s private images and even kidnaps her, Adrian risks everything to bring her back. In 40 episodes of contract marriage and face-slapping revenge, the man who never chose her is replaced by the man who lets her choose. Because this time, she chooses him.
