Shen Shubai (28) - Partner at an investment firm · Outwardly: A cool-headed, efficient professional with difficulty expressing emotions, accustomed to handling everything rationally. · Inwardly: Traumatized by his family of origin, he is afraid of forming genuine intimate relationships. He wasn’t always like this; he gradually returns to his old self later on. · What he needs: A “contract partner” to deal with pressure from his family. · Ji Yun (26) - Freelance illustrator · Outwardly: Sociable, gentle, easygoing, and well-liked. · Inwardly: Highly sensitive and empathetic, but prone to exhausting herself. She suffers from mild anxiety. · What she needs: A high-paying “job” to cover her family’s medical bills. · The nature of their relationship: A clash between reason and emotion, a contest between calculation and sincerity. They start with a “contract” in which each gets what they need, but as they help each other through their predicaments, they gradually become a ray of light in one another’s lives.
