In the neon-lit Shanghai Beach, he is Li Linyuan, the cold-faced CEO in charge of a multinational business empire. The old injury on his right ear hides the unknown shadow of his childhood. His collection of antique clocks reveals his paranoid control over an out-of-control life. She is Su Qing, a part-time illustrator who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts. Hidden behind her brushes is the gift of empathy, as well as the sensitivity and inferiority complex of being dependent on others.
An unexpected trade secret was revealed, and an unequal contract forcibly bound two people who had no intersection at all. Under the roof of the contracted cohabitation, he was a cold and arrogant employer, but he would warm a glass of milk for her late at night. When she touched her taboo right shoulder, he lost control and protected her behind him subconsciously. She was a meek and forbearing "private illustrator", but she was able to resolve the crisis for him with a paintbrush at a business dinner, and warmed his frozen heart bit by bit with gentle strokes.
When his childhood sweetheart Bai Ruoxi presses closer and closer, his uncle Li Mingzhe's conspiracy quietly spins a web, and a well-planned frame-up makes him mistakenly believe that she is approaching him just to steal business secrets. The decisive words were like sharp blades, cutting off the bond between the two. She left heartbroken and struggled in the design world, but unexpectedly uncovered the mystery of her lost daughter's life experience; he suddenly woke up and on the road to pursue his wife, he lost his aloofness and transformed into a knight who silently protects her.

At the shareholders' meeting, he used thunderous means to eliminate the traitors and declared in public: "Su Qing is the person I, Li Linyuan, recognize, and anyone who touches her is my enemy!
