On a stormy night, Lin Wan kneels outside the ICU as loan sharks target the money needed to save her younger brother.
Her sleazy supervisor takes the opportunity to threaten her. “Spend one night drinking with clients, and you’ll get the money.”
As she fights back, she crosses paths with Shen Yan, a man of immense power and influence.
He grips her chin, his gaze as cold as ice. “Sign this and become my stand-in, and your brother lives. Refuse, and you’ll disappear tonight.”
Trembling, Lin Wan signs away her freedom and moves into a gilded cage.

She bites his lip hard. “Look at me! I’m Lin Wan!”
The hand at her throat suddenly loosens, and for the first time, a complicated emotion enters Shen Yan’s eyes.
When the loan sharks come knocking, Shen Yan says just one thing: “Take care of it. Leave no one behind.” They all vanish.
With blood on his fingers, he lifts her chin. “While the contract lasts, your life is mine to control.”
But in the pocket watch he left behind, Lin Wan discovers the secret date of his beloved’s death…
