After graduating, Ye Qiao hits one dead end after another in her job search. Her best friend, Zuo Qiqi, suggests she go watch a fireworks show to lift her spirits. Instead, at the seaside, Ye Qiao comes across a man who seems ready to take his own life and “saves” him. Shen Jianan is there pondering how to fulfill his grandfather's wish when Ye Qiao happens to appear. To repay her, he offers her 100,000 a month to marry him. Ye Qiao is a money-lover. Since the arrangement will only last a little over five months, she figures they can go their separate ways as soon as she gets paid. They each get what they want, so she steels herself and agrees to the contract marriage.
What she doesn't expect is that Shen Jianan turns out to be the biggest shareholder at the company where she finally manages to land a job. They see each other every day, but to hide their relationship, they barely speak at work. Then someone with an agenda discovers the truth and spreads gossip about them throughout the company and its subsidiaries, using Ye Qiao's position to frame the company. They think this will make her back down? Not a chance. Ye Qiao methodically exposes the people who set her up and makes them pay. Shen Jianan watches everything she does and gradually falls for her. Ye Qiao, meanwhile, grows fond of him through their daily interactions. After learning about his painful past, she slowly helps him move on from the shadows. The two confess their feelings to each other, but then Shen Jianan's childhood friend Gu Niannian returns from abroad. When she learns their marriage is fake, she tries every trick to drive them apart and even tells Old Master Shen. In the end, the couple comes clean to the old man, who reveals that he knew all along, humiliating Gu Niannian. With Old Master Shen as their witness, they hold a grand wedding, turning their contract marriage into a lifelong one.
Very enjoyable and interesting! Cute little Joe!
