(Lu Jibai's top dignitaries VS Su Xu family's victims)
When the Beijing-based Lu family signed a marriage agreement with the Su family, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, no one was optimistic about this deal in which each would get what they needed. Lu Jibai is a top dignitary with military, political and business resources. He is rumored to be cold and ruthless, with no warmth in his eyes. Su Xu is a victim pushed out by his family, as quiet as an old painting that cannot speak.
On their wedding night, Lu Jibai slapped a draft of "cooperation terms" in front of her: "Play Mrs. Lu well and don't cross the line." Su Xu closed her eyes and signed, hiding her heartbeat in the sobering soup that was brought to him every time. He protected her dignity externally, but when she saw him chatting and laughing with an old acquaintance, he coldly warned her to "recognize your identity."
Lu Xingmian's difficulties and Su's schemes followed one after another. When Su Xu struggled in the quagmire, it was Lu Jibai who calmly cleared the obstacles for her - destroying forged evidence and trying to protect her equity at the board of directors meeting. But when she plucked up the courage to test him, he only left his cold back.
It wasn't until Su Xu's family completely collapsed and she came to the door with a divorce agreement that Lu Jibai took off his disguise, trapped her in his arms, and rubbed the corners of her red eyes with his fingertips: "You can get divorced if the agreement is not written." Those portraits of Su Xu hidden in the study room late at night finally exposed his unspoken affection and paranoia in this "contract marriage".
