For years, she was trained to suppress her emotions, to become a killing machine, an assassin with no feelings or attachments. She had adopted countless hidden identities, using them to navigate the dark world she had been thrust into. Her skills were honed to perfection, and she had become a formidable hunter of demons, feared by many. But despite her tough exterior, Catarina's heart beat for one thing alone: her twins, a boy and a girl, who were the center of her universe. She would do anything to protect them, to give them the life they deserved. Now, at the age of 22, Catarina had returned to her real family, the powerful and influential Watergate family, who were eager to welcome her back with open arms.

She saw Peizhi as a means to an end, a way to gain the protection and resources she needed to keep her loved ones safe. But Peizhi's intentions were not entirely altruistic. He had a reputation for being ruthless, for stopping at nothing to get what he wanted, and what he wanted was to pamper his new wife, to make her his. Catarina was about to enter a whole new world, one where she would have to navigate the complexities of wealth, power, and marriage, all while keeping her secrets and her heart locked away.
