Ling Qianxia, an intern doctor who keeps ending up at the police station for “standing up for what's right,” unexpectedly signs a contract with Gu Siyan, heir to the Gu Group, and becomes his “girlfriend” to fend off his family's marriage pressure.
To stand up for a friend, she dresses as a man and crashes a wedding, only to accidentally catch Gu Siyan's eye.
One is a thorny “troublemaker” struggling at the bottom, while the other is a cold, aloof business tycoon at the top. Worlds apart, the two are bound tightly together by a contract.
Gu Siyan helps her deal with her parasitic family and her persistent ex. And when people question whether she's “good enough for him,” he declares domineeringly, “Who gave you the right to judge my woman?”
Meanwhile, through their repeated clashes, Ling Qianxia glimpses the tenderness beneath his icy exterior: he remembers what she likes, awkwardly cares for her when she gets hurt, and turns their “contract” into quiet, unwavering protection.
After a few drinks, he suddenly chuckles. “There's nothing wrong with making the act real.”
She quits the hospital and becomes the family doctor to the elderly Mrs. Fu, navigating the glitz and scheming of high society. As she handles one challenge after another, she and Gu Siyan grow closer through their tentative encounters.
Will they remain partners in a business deal, or risk everything on a love that crosses class boundaries?
A relationship that began with an ulterior motive ultimately blossoms into true love as they stand by each other time and again.
