[Mute + greedy, lecherous, and scheming little fox + clearheaded heroine Su Chengshuang, who never plays by the rules] vs. [Arrogant + doesn't know how to use his words + gets more fired up the more he's tormented + cold on the outside, childish and devoted on the inside male lead Xu Qin'an]
No stand-ins, no white moonlight + genuinely mute + unconventional contract marriage + marry first, fall in love much, much later
Su Chengshuang's ideal plan: borrow ten million from Xu Qin'an to pay back her childhood sweetheart, buy her freedom first, then repay the debt little by little.
The cruel reality: For some inexplicable reason, she signed herself away while drunk. The money had to go to her childhood sweetheart, she had to marry Xu Qin'an, and filing for divorce meant paying a one-hundred-million penalty!
She lost both her money and her freedom!
Xu Qin'an's ideal plan: After wanting her for so many years, he'd finally managed to trick her into marrying him. They could take their time developing feelings after the wedding.
The cruel reality: The wife he'd worked so hard to marry had no interest in him at all, and spent every day thinking about making money and running away!
Unforgivable!
