[Marriage Before Love] + [Contract Marriage] + [Workplace Romance] + [Having and Raising Children] + Sweet Romance
[Cold, possessive heir to a powerful family × gentle on the outside but strong within, a design prodigy]
On a stormy night, Shen Nianqing’s father threatens her with her mother’s keepsake and forces her to wear her older sister’s wedding dress. Looking at herself in the mirror, she says, “From today on, I’m Shen Nianwei.”
Before the wedding, she receives an anonymous text: “I know who you are.”
At the marriage registration office, Lu Tingshen keeps a cold expression throughout. As they register their marriage, he suddenly asks:
“Miss Shen, have we met before?”
He notices the scar on her right wrist, and his expression shifts.
On their wedding night, the old madam of the Lu family sees through her at a glance:
“You’re not Shen Nianwei.”
But she chooses to keep quiet and watch in secret.
When the second branch of the Lu family makes things difficult for her, Shen Nianqing uses her design expertise as “Nina” to resolve the crisis. Lu Tingshen turns to her and asks:
“Who are you, really?”
A marriage of convenience: loving in public, strangers behind closed doors.
On their first night in separate bedrooms, Shen Nianqing stays up late sketching and is caught by Lu Tingshen. She lies and calls it “doodling.”
But he realizes that her design style is exactly like the unfinished painting in his study, created by the lifesaver he has been searching for over five years.
From secretary to design director, from “substitute” to “Nina,” dazzling the international jewelry world, Shen Nianqing fights on two fronts: her career and her love life.
Lu Tingshen says coldly, “You’re nothing but a substitute,” yet he shields her from drinks and knives and stands up for her in public: “No one gets to bully my woman!”
