A cold agreement binds people from two worlds together.
Tian Rutu, a talented artistic woman whose family was in decline, was forced to sign a three-year engagement in order to save the family business. She is sensitive and stubborn, with well-developed tear ducts but a tough heart. She works hard to find herself and dignity in the deep sea of wealth.
Huo Lanchi, a powerful business tycoon, uses marriage as a bargaining chip to consolidate his inheritance rights. He is strong, has double standards, and is used to controlling everything. However, due to childhood trauma and heavy responsibilities, he is trapped in the torture of migraines and an island of emotion.
Qin Siyu, Huo Lanchi's special assistant, a gentle and elegant watchman. His loyalty and secret love, wandering between friendship and morality, became a glimmer of light that illuminated Tian Rutu's gloomy marriage, and also catalyzed Huo Lanchi's inner awakening.
From the initial cold confrontation and mutual testing, to being forced to join forces due to frequent accidents, to the devoted protection at the critical moment of life and death. When the secret arrow of conspiracy strikes, when the mask of disguise peels off, where will the sincerity under the contract go?
This is not only a marriage that started with a transaction, but also a realistic fable about self-salvation, emotional ice-breaking and human growth. See how they break free from the shackles and build a kingdom of love on the ruins of interests.

More than "Marriage First, Love Later": A soulful fable about redemption, growth and the definition of "home"
The story begins with a classic "Marriage Agreement". Huo Lanchi and Tian Rutu, one is a work machine alienated by wealth and responsibility, and the other is an artist who sacrifices for his family but maintains inner pride. Their opening scene was full of calculations and disparity.
When a man who is used to using money to solve everything discovers for the first time that there is something in the world that he cannot buy - sincerity, how will he deal with it?
When a woman loses her financial independence, how can she maintain her spiritual independence and personal dignity, and ultimately win true respect and love?
Huo Lanchi's transformation did not happen overnight. From his initial coldness, subsequent loss of control, and awakening at the critical moment of life and death, to finally learning to respect, accompany and express love, every step is accompanied by struggle and pain. His "wife-chasing crematorium" burns not his self-esteem, but the hard ice shell that wraps his heart and is condensed from past trauma. And Tian Rutu is by no means passively waiting for the savior. Her strength lies in her gentle tenacity. She used her paintbrush, her tolerance, and her never-extinguishing love for life to feed back and heal Huo Lanchi bit by bit, and also completed the reshaping and realization of her self-worth.
"Solid" happiness. It is not suspended, it is rooted in the company of three meals a day, in the responsibility to face the wind and rain together, and in the profound bond of mutual achievement and common growth.
If you believe that no matter how bad the starting point is, sincerity and love have the power to reverse everything; if you are willing to see how a strong man learns to show weakness, and how a weak woman shows her inner strength...
What it ultimately wants to convey to every reader is, as written in the text:
"The story begins with a contract full of calculations. But happiness will always and only be based on unreserved sincerity."
We look forward to meeting you in the world of Huo Lanchi and Tian Rutu, and witnessing the consummation of this "contract with love" together.
