Lilliana lived that month to the fullest, thinking she would die soon - until a secret donor miraculously appeared to provide her a new heart. However, the doctors refused to perform her heart-transplant surgery until Lilliana signed the contract agreeing to marry Chris Eaton, CEO of Eaton Enterprises - who is also her CEO father Marcus Smith's archenemy. What will be the consequences of Lilliana accepting the new heart and marrying the cold-hearted CEO?!
