Shen Tingxue, the eldest daughter of the Shen family who returned from studying abroad, was faced with a bolt from the blue on her first day back: her baby sister, who was held in the palm of the family's hand, eloped with a poor painter on the eve of her wedding of the century to Lu Guannan, a wealthy man in Shanghai.
The Shen family was facing a disaster, and the only way was to let her, who also had the same surname and daughter, marry in her sister's place.
According to rumors, Lu Guannan is ruthless and not a womanizer. He is the "living king of hell" who rose to power by stepping on the bones of countless people. Everyone was betting on how many days this temporary substitute could survive in the Lu family.
Shen Tingxue was also in despair. She was calculating her little treasury, wondering whether to buy station tickets overnight and run away, or to stay and be a "contract bride" and wait until she had saved up enough "severance pay" to retire.
After marriage, Shen Tingxue adhered to the principle of "as long as I am rich enough, trouble will never catch up with me." She drank tea and read newspapers in the huge Lu Mansion every day, waiting for divorce.
But gradually, she discovered that something was wrong with this "living king of hell".
He would silently get rid of all the relatives who made trouble for her; he would let the newspaper disappear the next day when she was exposed by the gossip in the newspaper; and he would personally cook a bowl of Yangchun noodles late at night when she was hungry.
One day, Shen Tingxue finally couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lu, didn't we agree that we only have a cooperative relationship?"
The man raised his deep eyes, held her in his arms, and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Lu, the first clause of the contract is that the property of both parties will be shared after marriage. You are the largest property in my life, and it will not be divided."
Shen Tingxue: "...?"
Wait, that's not what the script says!
