Married a Dockhand, He Rules the Dark Tide

Married a Dockhand, He Rules the Dark Tide

Vivian, a fallen heiress, is the legitimate successor of a maritime conglomerate. Five years ago at the Crown Gala, she was drugged in a vicious scheme plotted by her step‑mother Diana and the accomplice Colin. To preserve her honour, she threw herself into the sea and was rescued by Hank, the legendary“Ghost Captain of the Black Sea”. After a fateful night, Vivian left alone and later gave birth to their daughter Lila. For five years she endured hardship and built up her strength, determined to take back the maritime empire left by her grandfather. When the trust rules are abruptly revised, Vivian must obtain a legal spouse to claim her inheritance. Left with no choice, she plans to hire a fake husband. By chance, she meets Hank at the harbour, where he is hiding his true identity and pretending to be a poor salvage worker. Five‑year‑old Lila instinctively recognises her biological father, and Vivian enters a short‑term contract marriage with Hank.
