This is an emotional game that begins with a cold transaction, and the tale of an orphan who grows through a thorny world and ultimately stands shoulder to shoulder with a favored son of heaven, in a grand romance among the wealthy.

The cool and resilient orphan Lu Wenyin graduated from a top university with excellent grades, expecting to embark on an ordinary career. But a mysterious invitation from the Jiang family, one of Shencheng's most powerful dynasties, swept her into a whirlpool of fate. Behind the million-yuan salary and the promise of a luxury home lay the cold, direct purpose of Jiang Yuchen, the Jiang family's 28-year-old heir: he needed a “partner” with good genes and a simple background to bear him an heir.

Jiang Yuchen was an untouchable figure who held sway over Shencheng's business world. Wounded by his childhood family life, he firmly believed he would never marry. Faced with his critically ill grandmother's final wish to hold a great-grandchild, he chose a cold contract to keep emotion out of it.

A contract worth a fortune bound two very different souls together. Lu Wenyin remained at the Jiang company as the CEO's secretary. By day, she was a capable and polished young professional; by night, she faced the life quietly growing inside her and her own inner turmoil alone. Amid the glitz and undercurrents of Shencheng's wealthy elite, as they spent day after day together and became entangled in raising their child, the walls built by reason began to waver. Forbidden feelings quietly took root in the cracks of their contract. As Lu Wenyin gradually revealed her talents and made her mark in the business world, could she break free of the restrictions imposed by her status? And how would Jiang Yuchen, who had sworn never to fall in love, face the paradox he had created with his own hands?
