In order to save her adoptive mother, art student Shen Nianxi signed a sky-high contract and became the "contract wife" of wealthy CEO Gu Chengye.
He needs her to play the role of the docile "Mrs. Gu" to resist the family's pressure to marry and Bai Yueguang's entanglement; she needs his money to save her life, to act in a play, and the two will be cleared in a year.
Everyone laughed at her as a stand-in for clinging to the powerful, but they didn't know that her ability to see through people's hearts completely failed with Gu Chengye! He was as cold as a precision machine, and his emotions were in deep chaos, making her uneasy and wary.
Gu Chengye is the young tyrant of the Gu empire. His emotional and cognitive impairment makes him regard everything as cold logic. Marrying her is just a profit calculation. But this "tool" wife is always beyond his control. Her calm counterattack when facing difficulties, her keen insight in times of crisis, and her stubborn and cold eyes that hide endless secrets actually made his silent heartbeat lose control due to "confusion" for the first time.
When the boundaries of the contract were torn apart by ambiguity, when the mystery of Shen Nianxi's life experience and the truth of "the mysterious death of her biological mother" surfaced, the spearhead pointed directly at the darkest core of the Gu family! The former "stand-in" was actually a revenge queen who returned with hatred? But the cold-hearted CEO who did not understand what "love" was, used flesh and blood at the critical moment of life and death. Protecting her behind him, he screamed an unprecedented panic: "Shen Nianxi, don't die!" See how President Bingshan melts his emotional barriers for love, and how the contracted wife overturns the chess game of the wealthy family! When all the pretense is peeled off, will they sink into this crisis that started with a lie, or will they usher in their salvation and exclusivity in the ashes of the truth?
