Forced by her aunt to marry a fool, thrown out by her landlord, and unable to afford medicine for her daughter’s heart condition, Su He presses a fruit knife against her wrist, wanting only to end it all.
Then a man in a sharp suit appears out of nowhere and pulls her into his arms. “Marry me, and I’ll save your daughter.”
Everyone waits to laugh at the single mother who sells osmanthus cakes from a street stall, wondering when the trillion-yuan CEO will kick her out.
But instead of seeing Su He thrown out, they see this:
Mr. Si switches the company’s afternoon snacks to osmanthus cakes;
Mr. Si turns the garden at home into a children’s playground;
At a shareholders’ meeting, when his daughter says, “Daddy, I’m hungry,” Mr. Si ends the meeting on the spot and goes home to cook.
Su He thinks theirs is only a business arrangement, until one day she sees half of a silver osmanthus flower, hidden for five years, inside the safe in his study.
The nightmare she had been searching for over five years was the obsession he had carried for five years.
It turns out her daughter never went without a father at all.
