Mr. Shen's Rose Thorn

Julian Hawthorne is the youngest chaebol head in South Korea, wielding billions in assets and as cold as a piece of millennium-cold iron. He was forced to marry Vivian Sinclair—a sacrificial lamb in a business alliance. To him, she was invisible; he built towering walls of ice before her. But when he saw her trembling as she opened that bottle of sleeping pills in the bathroom, a crack appeared for the first time in his impenetrable defenses. He forced his way into her despair and, with the coldest tone, tied her suicide-bent wrists, branding her existence irrevocably onto his own heart. From then on, the cold-blooded emperor unconsciously began to cage and nurture his little rose, forbidding anyone to covet her—not even herself.
