Contract marriage, wealthy-family angst, a satisfying husband-chasing arc, and a woman’s growth.
Zhou Shuran and her mother have only each other. Their family is poor, and to repay a kindness, she willingly takes another woman’s place in marriage, becoming the young madam of a wealthy family.
After the wedding, they sign a contract agreeing not to interfere in each other’s lives. They live under the same roof, yet remain utterly distant.
Zhou Shuran dreams of becoming a pianist and refuses to be a pampered rich man’s dependent. By a twist of fate, she ends up as her love rival’s assistant.
From then on, she is caught in a double battleground of workplace and marriage. By day, she endures the harsh demands of her boss, who is also her love rival. By night, she quietly holds on to her love of piano and never gives up on her dream.
The cold and taciturn Ling Yihan is gradually drawn to her resilience and sincerity. He quietly breaks their contract and secretly makes sure she is protected.
But Gu Sile’s suspicions, attacks, and obsessive descent into darkness expose Zhou Shuran’s identity completely. Crises erupt, and her relationship with Ling Yihan falls apart.
From then on, Zhou Shuran presses forward against the odds, focusing solely on her career, and ultimately shines on the piano stage.
Ling Yihan faces a long road to win her back. The two go from contract spouses to finding true love and standing by each other.
