Beginning: forced to marry in desperate situation
Cheng family's business crisis + sister Cheng Yue escaped from marriage (disliked Tianbao for being "cold and difficult to get along with"). Her parents favored sons over daughters, and used family affection and tuition to coerce trainee reporter Cheng Xi into marrying Tianbao on her sister's behalf.
The beginning of a flash marriage: a cold contract
Cheng Xi was desperate and agreed to sign a three-month contract marriage with Tianbao: they would not interfere in each other's private lives, act as husband and wife to the outside world, and divorce peacefully upon expiration. Tianbao promised to help the Cheng family get out of trouble (in fact, he saw through the Cheng family's plot and helped Cheng Xi escape).
First encounter with contrast
Cheng Xi thought Tianbao was a "tyrannical devil", but found out that he was restrained and restrained; Tianbao originally thought Cheng Xi was a vain daughter, but he changed his mind for the first time when he saw her staying up late writing manuscripts and being tenacious and unwilling to admit defeat.
First confrontation
Cheng Xi insists on living in her small rental house and refuses Tianbao's mansion; Tianbao secretly helps her fend off the Cheng family's unreasonable demands, and the two quarrel over their "sense of boundaries", with undercurrents surging.
