Su Yueyao, a top student who is burdened with family debts, is forced to marry Gu Chenxuan, the heir to a cold and wealthy family, in a flash marriage.
She thought this was just a contractual marriage where each wanted what he needed - he needed a wife in name only, and she needed money to save her mother. The moment she signed the agreement, she just wanted to be a sober top student, defend her world in a wealthy family, and leave in style after a year.
But the man who was rumored to be cold and ruthless gradually deviated from the script.
He interfered with her studies, questioned her research partners, and broke into her life in the most domineering way. When she fell into a family conspiracy and was framed by her childhood sweetheart, he came to the stage for her for the first time and publicly declared: "I, Gu Chenxuan, have no place for others to criticize me."
What confused her even more was that this man started to look different.
He would stay silent outside her laboratory and learn to cook a bowl of hot porridge that tasted strange but warm. When an academic rival tried to destroy her scientific research career, he used the entire power of the Gu family to clear the way for her and push her achievements to the top of the world.
"Master Gu," she looked at the divorce agreement on the table when the one-year contract expired, "our deal should be over."
But he held her hand, his eyes were gentler than ever before:
"Su Yueyao, it took me a whole year to learn to cook, learn to protect you, and learn to love you."
"Now, are you willing to give me a lifetime to continue learning?"
