In the troubled times of the Republic of China, the situation was treacherous, and a ridiculous contract tightly bound her to him. Gu Qinghuan was originally a lady of an old-fashioned family, but due to the decline of her family, she was forced to sign a marriage contract with Lu Shiyan, the powerful young master of the Lu family in the city. He is cold and distant, she is smart and cunning, and they both have their own purposes, and they are living step by step in a false marriage.
In front of others, they are a model couple with talent and beauty, and they are very loving; behind the scenes, they are tit-for-tat contractual partners who refuse to give in to each other. When family secrets, old grievances, and the torrent of troubled times intertwine, can this marriage contract, which began with profit, withstand the temptation of the human heart and the waves of fate?
She thought she could guard her heart, but she didn't know that she had already been involved in a chess game of deep love and longevity from the depths of those seemingly heartless eyes. This is not just a contract marriage, but also a love affair in troubled times about love and redemption, lies and truth.
