The engagement contract wrapped in red silk was supposed to be a witness to a good relationship, but for Shen Qingci, it was a shackle that bound him for half his life. In the spring of that year, the family suffered a sudden change. In order to save the lives of her close relatives, she tearfully wrote her name on the marriage contract and married the notorious, cold and taciturn heir to the Lu Group, Lu Chengyuan.
She thought that as long as she stayed on her own terms, she would always be able to get a touch of warmth, but what she didn't expect was his cold warning on their wedding night: "This marriage is just a temporary solution, don't dream about things that don't belong to you." In the following years, she played the role of a qualified Mrs. Lu in the empty villa, watching him and Bai Yueguang spend time together, and endured the rumors from the outside world, which made her sincerity full of holes.
She once had a ardent dream to be a talented woman who could shine in the painting world, but because of this engagement, she was forced to put away her painting brush and became a pawn in the wealthy family's chess game; she once met a close friend who cherished each other, but she could only stay away sadly because of her identity as "Mrs. Lu". When she tried her best to maintain the marriage, but in the end only got his decision to ask her to leave the house for Bai Yueguang, Shen Qingci finally understood that some mistakes had doomed the outcome from the beginning.
A marriage contract ruined her youth, dampened her sincerity, and cut off her future. When she took off her clothes, took off her disguise, and wanted to escape from this suffocating prison, the man who had never looked at her suddenly turned red and held her tightly in his hands: "It's too late, you can only be mine in this life." And she looked at her haggard self in the mirror, and she could only sigh - can this delayed life be turned back?
