The heroine Wen Jing is a professional mortician who suffers misunderstandings and prejudices due to her special profession. However, she always sticks to her original intention and gives the deceased the final dignity. The male protagonist Fu Jingshen is a top lawyer from a well-known family. He is calm and ascetic and invincible, but he is lonely because of his family of origin.
The two met in a high-profile inheritance dispute case. As the plaintiff's lawyer, Fu Jingshen was full of misunderstandings and defensiveness towards Wen Jing at first. As the investigation deepened, he witnessed Wen Jing's professionalism, kindness and tenacity with his own eyes, and his prejudice gradually disintegrated and turned into deep attraction.
In order to cope with the Fu family's pressure to get married and solve Wen Jing's dilemma, the two reached a contract and had a flash marriage. After marriage, Fu Jingshen transformed into a "wife-protecting demon". Externally, he used the law and power to clear away all discrimination and obstacles for her. Internally, he used extreme tenderness and love to heal her inner scars. Wen Jing also used her transparency and warmth to see through life and death, melting the iceberg in Fu Jingshen's heart. From contracted couple to soul mates, the two healed in both directions, faced the obstruction of their families, the frame-ups of their peers, and the secrets of the past together, and finally gained career and love, composing an urban sweet love song intertwined with "respect and prejudice", "life and death".
