the price of innocence ( English verse)
Lina Yue's life shatters when her parents die in what the world believes was a tragic accident. But Lina knows the truth. Her greedy uncle orchestrated their deaths to seize the family inheritance, and now he plans to sell her into a loveless marriage to pay off his debts.
Desperate to save her dying grandmother, Lina needs fifty million yuan for a life-saving operation—a sum she could never hope to earn.
Working as a maid at the luxurious Yuandong Hotel, she struggles to survive until a single room service call changes everything.
Room 888.
Behind its doors stands Fu Lin Chuan, the cold and untouchable CEO of the Fu Empire. Betrayed by someone he trusted, he has been drugged and abandoned to face a dangerous situation alone.
When fate throws them together, they strike an unexpected pact.
He will save her grandmother.
She will stand by his side.
What begins as a desperate agreement soon entangles them in a world of wealth, secrets, family conspiracies, and forbidden feelings.
As enemies close in and hidden truths come to light, Lina and Fu Lin Chuan must decide whether trust is worth the risk—or whether innocence always comes at a price.
A gripping billionaire romance filled with drama, betrayal, and a love powerful enough to change destiny.
