Regret soon consumed Ace after the divorce. He never expected that his boring ex-wife would move on overnight, and be living her best life. Not only did a young heir of an influential family claim to be her underling, but a famous celebrity confessed to being her fan as well. Even one of the wealthiest people in the country referred to her as their senior. “I don't care how strong your background is, Joanna Pierce. I'll make sure to tear down your walls!” With that, the second son of the Moran family set out to protect the woman in secret. Ace: "My ex-wife is so fragile that she can't even stand on her own two feet, you mustn't take advantage of her." To which everyone replied, "Who would dare to mess with her? She'd rip our heads off if we ever get into a minor disagreement!' Ace : "My ex-wife is far too naive, you shouldn't toy with her feelings" And yet people would say, "I’m sorry? We've never seen a naive woman act so unapologetically!' Ace: "Come, darling. Let me introduce you to this powerful figure!" To which the powerful figure responded with a deep bow, "No, no, she's the boss around these parts!” Since then, Ace has had to live a double life. He was an almighty CEO during the day, but come night time,he'd be sobbing on his knees, hoping to win Joanna's heart back.

Joanna was too innocent. She leaned forward curiously. The strap of her summer dress slid off her shoulder due to the slightly large neckline, revealing her snow-white skin.
Jovan caught a quick glance and gulped unconsciously. His voice was a bit hoarse as he said, "Marry me and snatch the Moran Group away from him!"
"? ? ?"
Joanna was so mad that she was close to fainting. Her head was almost spewing fire.
"You damn brat, do you want another beating? How dare you trick me again!"
Seeing Joanna pull back her fist to give him another punch, Jovan quickly raised his hands and begged for mercy. "My good sister-in-law, hear me out. Let me finish…"
"What else is there to say? As if anything good could result from this!"
"I'm not asking you to marry me for real. It's just an opportunity for you to vent your anger…"
