It tells the story of Lin Zhiwei, a daughter of a poor family, and Jiang Yushen, a new technological upstart, from "contract marriage" to true love.
In order to save the family crisis, the heroine Lin Zhiwei signs a two-year engagement with Jiang Yushen, who has been secretly in love with her for five years. On the surface, it's a deal where everyone gets what they need, but in reality it hides the affectionate layout of the male protagonist and the self-reconstruction of the female protagonist. The two tested each other within the framework of the contract. From the "Perfect Mask" to the revelation of the "Study Secret", they gradually discovered that each other was the same kind shrouded in the shadow of death - her mother died of depression, and his brother died in a car accident due to a family conspiracy.
When the female protagonist discovered the male protagonist's "plot" to get close to the Lin family through her ex-fiancé five years ago, her trust collapsed and she chose to leave. The male protagonist starts the "Crematorium of Chasing His Wife", pursues it again with his true self, and builds an equal relationship from scratch. In the end, the two broke through the constraints of the contract, completed their sincere wedding at the beach, and fulfilled their promise of "growing together" with fifteen years of marriage.
The novel incorporates popular elements such as "Marriage First, Love Later", "Two-way Redemption", and "Wife Chasing Crematorium". The innovation lies in: the female protagonist maintains her career line and independent personality throughout the whole process, the male protagonist's true transformation from "controlling protection" to "equal support", and the intertextual structure of the love between two generations (the male protagonist's brother and the female protagonist's mother). The core theme is "truth is higher than perfection" - love is not about eliminating calculations, but still choosing to believe and rebuild after knowing that each other is broken.
