Xueqing never expected her arranged marriage to Tiancheng to become anything more than a cold agreement. Her new husband is wealthy, distant, and supposedly deaf—and he never speaks a word. But Xueqing soon begins noticing strange things. Why does he react to sounds he shouldn't be able to hear? Why does he seem to understand conversations from across the room? And what is the powerful Tian family hiding? The truth is far more dangerous than she imagined. Tiancheng isn't deaf. He's pretending. And Xueqing may be the one person capable of uncovering the secret he's spent years protecting.

She is deaf. He is a billionaire. He hired her as a nanny with one rule: stay silent. But when his little son starts speaking to her in sign language, everything changes. He bought her silence. But she became his son's only voice. A contract. A secret. And a love that was never supposed to happen.

In a universe where power is everything, the journey of a child in a small planet's great cult, whose only path is music and the violin, involves mastering martial arts and various other skills to reach the pinnacle. This is Alex's journey.



An explosion took my hearing the day I saved my fiancé, Marco Falcone. But at our engagement party, he announced he was in love with my sister, Isabella. Even my own parents told me to step aside. Then he stepped in. Dante Falcone. The Don. My ex-fiancé's powerful uncle. He offered me marriage. Protection. A new life. He said he’d loved me for a decade. I believed him. Five years later, a miracle. My hearing returned. I raced to my husband's study to tell him. But I stopped at the door. I overheard a conversation between him and his consigliere. "Once I've cleared all the obstacles for Isabella, I'll give her the entire East Coast shipping business." His consigliere chuckled. "The Donna would be heartbroken if she knew you only married her to keep her from harassing Marco and ruining Isabella's happiness." "She's deaf. She can't hear." My eyes burned, and my hands trembled at my sides, clenching into fists. So that was it. Five years of marriage, of feeling protected—all a carefully crafted lie for another woman. There was nothing left for me in this gilded cage. It was time to disappear from his world forever.
