The Su family is on the brink of bankruptcy, and the old factory her mother left behind is in grave danger. Just when Su Jingtang has nowhere left to turn, she receives an offer from business magnate Lu Shiyan that amounts to taking advantage of her desperation: in exchange for full funding from the Lu Group, he wants her to marry him.
Even more absurdly, this powerful man who can turn the business world upside down adds a bizarre clause to their prenuptial agreement: after the wedding, she will be in complete control. He will put his time and resources at her disposal, obey every one of her demands without question, and willingly be her “master.”
Arrogant and bold, Su Jingtang assumes this is just a transaction that benefits them both. She signs the marriage contract intending to make things difficult for him at every turn, determined to drive away this man who is taking advantage of her predicament. But she never expects Lu Shiyan’s “submission” to define every day of their marriage. She complains in the middle of the night that the curtains look dreary, and within two hours he has replaced them with her favorite lotus-root pink silk ones. He bursts into a meeting room on the top floor and interrupts a global board meeting just to complain that he missed their afternoon tea date. She petulantly demands he terminate a deal worth hundreds of millions, and he tears up the contract without a second thought, saying only, “If my master doesn’t like it, we won’t do it.”
Day by day, through his obedience and indulgence, Su Jingtang gradually lets down her guard and discovers that the seemingly cold CEO hides an unknown tenderness. He stays up late organizing her factory’s accounts, drives two hours to learn how to make the brown sugar ginger tea she misses, and rushes to her side the moment someone gives her a hard time. She, too, goes from deliberately giving him a hard time to awkwardly saving warm milk for him and using her connections to back him up, finding clumsy ways to return his sincere affection.
This marriage began as a transaction, but there is no battle between equals. There is only a powerful man willingly falling head over heels.
