After a car accident, playboy Shen Mo transmigrates into a parallel world as a live-in son-in-law from a wealthy family, a man who worships his wife. The original Shen Mo was a college classmate of Lin Qingyue, the Lin family's heiress. After their marriage, he became a laughingstock under the family's oppression. His wife was cold toward him, his rival Gu Beichen was watching like a hawk, and the countdown to divorce stood at three months.
Shen Mo inherits the original's memories and the lingering pain of his deep love, but only gives a playboy's cold smile. A lovesick lapdog? He's a professional hunter. He keeps pretending to be timid on the surface while secretly using his psychological golden finger to launch a calculated emotional hunt and a business comeback.
He enters his wife's business, making a name for himself during a corporate crisis and stunning everyone.
Emotional push and pull. He stops groveling and instead keeps her at arm's length. He uses Su Qing, a female supporting character, to make his wife jealous. Her curiosity turns into her approaching him of her own accord, unaware that she is stepping into Shen Mo's "trap."
Business warfare. He discovers Gu Beichen has spent ten years laying the groundwork to swallow the Lin family. Shen Mo turns the tables and sets a counterattack in motion. He also uncovers the "romantic misunderstanding" Gu engineered, but deliberately refuses to explain, letting guilt become the catalyst for his wife's fall.
A life-or-death turning point. Gu Beichen launches an all-out assault, leaving the Lin family on the brink of bankruptcy. Lin Qingyue is stabbed by Gu Beichen's men while trying to save Shen Mo. Outside the ICU, Shen Mo sees the thousand unsent messages on his wife's phone, the photos she'd secretly taken of him, and her search history: "how to love someone." For the first time, the playboy's heart truly aches.
The truth and rebirth. Shen Mo crushes Gu Beichen's scheme and clears up every misunderstanding. When Lin Qingyue wakes, the two confess their true feelings in the hospital room. Shen Mo wins back his dignity and finds love. As he heals the original Shen Mo's wounds, he also remakes himself: from a playboy who looked down on love into a husband who understands what it means to truly love.
