She is a gold-medal teacher who was forced into a desperate situation by life. In order to save her seriously ill mother, she signed a "contract stepmother" agreement with a wealthy family.
He is a cold-faced CEO who is only thirty years old and controls a business empire but is helpless with his rebellious stepson. He is in urgent need of a "stepmother" to whitewash the peace of the family.
Eighteen-year age difference, a transactional marriage where each gets what he wants.
The outside world laughed at her for flying up a branch and becoming a phoenix, but they were waiting to see her being kicked out of the house by her stepson; her family laughed at her for her humble background and thought she was a vain clown.
Faced with all kinds of humiliation and live-streamed online violence from her stepson, she remained calm and used her psychology and educational wisdom to draw out the bottom line, turning him from "the bottom of the school" to a "dark horse academic champion";
Faced with her husband's indifference and regard her as a "replaceable tool", she refused to fight or be favored, used softness to overcome strength, and dealt with crisis after crisis, turning him from the "party A of the contract" into a "wife-protecting demon" who couldn't live without her.
While the entire Internet was waiting to see her ruined, she stood as an unshakable sight under the century-old sycamore tree in the Gu family's old residence.
This is not only a stepmother's counterattack, but also a two-way redemption about love, dignity and growth.
