A plum rain extinguished all Su Wanqing's illusions about her seven-year love affair, and also destroyed the last pillar of the Su family.
Her father is critically ill and the family is bankrupt. Her former lover puts her arms around her new love and declares to her: "You are just a burden."
On the street on a rainy night, when she was desperate, a black umbrella held up the world for her.
The man under the umbrella is Gu Yanchen—the most noble name in Jiangcheng and the brother-in-law of her ex-boyfriend.
"Marry me." His proposal was like a deal, "A three-year agreement, each gets what he wants."
Su Wanqing thought this was just a temporary solution in a desperate situation.
He needs a wife to stabilize the family situation, and she needs resources to save her father and revive the family business.
But when she moved into his villa, she discovered that this marriage was far from simple as it seemed -
He remembered all her preferences and clothing sizes exactly;
He supported her career and paved the way for her but never interfered with her creations;
He defended her in front of the family and declared with absolute force: "There is only one Mrs. Gu."
And that rainy night was not the first time they met.
The old photos in the study quietly revealed: at the family dinner seven years ago, he had already been in the crowd and watched the girl who still squatted down to treat the injured bird after spilling the red wine.
When Wen Shuyu, his "best partner" during the Cambridge period, returns with the past,
When family infighting and business intrigues ensue,
As the deadline for the agreement approaches...
Su Wanqing finally summoned up the courage to ask: "Gu Yanchen, why did you marry me?"
The man gently held her in his arms, and his deep voice fell in his ears:
"Since seven years ago, I have been waiting for this moment——
With marriage as a contract, I promise you a lifetime. "
