At a business dinner, Su Ran worked up the courage with a drink and flirted with the notoriously possessive head of the Fu family. After one reckless night, she left with a stack of cash, only to have the man block her path in a conference room with a marriage certificate.
“Is being Mrs. Fu enough to keep you entertained for the rest of your life?”
The game that began with a misunderstanding gradually revealed the unspoken protection that had taken place in a school corridor ten years earlier.

Later, during a live broadcast on a global financial news channel, a reporter captured the head of the Fu Group kneeling to massage his high-heeled wife's ankles on the top floor of his headquarters. The camera panned to her ring finger, where a ring folded from candy wrappers circled it. It was the secret longing of a boy he had kept hidden for ten years.
