Description: On their wedding night, billionaire tech king Ethan Cross asks the worst possible question: **"Was it really your first time?"** What he doesn't remember is that years ago, in a luxury karaoke lounge, **he was the man who took Rose Carter's virginity**-and the man who threw her away the very next morning. Rose has never had the luxury of being sentimental. A former nightclub worker with seven younger sisters to support, she learns early that love is cheap, but money buys survival. So when fate throws Ethan back into her life-richer, colder, and still obsessed with purity-Rose makes a ruthless choice. If the world wants innocence, she'll sell it. She steps into the role of the perfect wife, hiding her past behind a sweet smile, a careful lie, and a marriage built on deception. But Ethan is no fairytale prince. Beneath his polished image lies a controlling man with twisted desires, dangerous pride, and the power to ruin her with a word. What starts as a calculated transaction turns into a vicious game of manipulation, revenge, and desire-where divorce is only the beginning. Because Rose doesn't just want escape anymore. She wants wealth, freedom, and payback. In a world where reputation is currency and marriage is war, how long can Rose keep winning before Ethan uncovers everything-and decides he wants her back for reasons far darker than love?
