Hao Shu, an ordinary junior girl in the School of Economics at S University, with mid-range grades and seemingly cheerful personality, is actually sensitive and has low self-esteem due to the divorce of her original family. She is the most inconspicuous "transparent person" on campus. Her life was burdened by a heavy secret - her mother was seriously ill, and the high medical bills forced her to work part-time jobs and was exhausted. In an accident while delivering food late at night, she poured hot soup on Gu Hanzhou, the investor of the newly built "Mingde Building" on campus and the only 30-year-old CEO of Bingshan who was already a legend in the business world. This ridiculous misunderstanding became a turning point in her fate.
Gu Hanzhou, due to family pressure, urgently needs a "contract girlfriend" to cope with the pressure to get married and to deal with the marriage plans of his business rivals. He took a fancy to Hao Shu's "clean" background and his urgent need for money, and proposed a one-year "campus love contract": she would act as his sweet girlfriend and attend necessary occasions together, while he would pay a huge remuneration that could cover his mother's medical expenses. For Hao Shu, this is a dilemma - sell false feelings in exchange for his mother's life, or stick to his self-esteem but risk losing his loved ones? Under the threat of a countdown (her mother's condition worsened and surgery was imminent), she signed her name tremblingly.
At the beginning of the contract, the clever Hao Shu and the frosty Gu Hanzhou staged scenes of "poor acting" but inexplicably harmonious drama inside and outside the campus. She was forced into his world.
