In a bustling modern city, Su Qinghan, the cool and decisive leader of the business empire Shengshi Group, stands at the top of the corporate world, yet finds herself caught in a family succession struggle and hunted by business rivals. During an unexpected clash on a seedy street, she crosses paths with Lu Zhancheng, a decorated soldier who has just retired from overseas service. His formidable skills, icy bearing, and air of mystery make him her unlikely rescuer.
To shore up her faltering position in business and fend off her family’s attempts to force her into marriage, Su Qinghan proposes a contract relationship to Lu Zhancheng. She is an icy CEO who acts decisively in the cutthroat business world; he is a retired soldier who has survived life-and-death trials. Forced together despite their very different personalities, they gradually find themselves drawn to each other’s hidden tenderness and resilience amid all the scheming. The seeds of love at first sight quietly take root.
Meanwhile, forces bent on revenge, led by rival Qin Haoyu; family elders consumed by ambition; underworld figures lurking in the city’s shadows; and a mysterious puppet master orchestrating it all bare their fangs at Su Qinghan’s business empire. With a soldier’s instincts and strength, Lu Zhancheng repeatedly helps Su Qinghan out of danger, and their feelings deepen as they fight side by side.
As the puppet master’s true identity gradually comes to light, it exposes old grudges and tangled relationships from years past, setting in motion a perfect revenge plot that will determine both the fate of a business empire and the settling of personal scores. Su Qinghan lays a tight web of traps in the business world, while Lu Zhancheng clears obstacles from the shadows using special forces tactics. Can they win this battle for revenge, and where will the love that began with a contract lead?
