On the night of the substitute marriage, Shen Sa and Gu Mingyuan signed a contract: for two years, if they don't show their sincerity, the defaulter will be compensated one billion.
She thought this was just a deal where everyone got what they wanted - he needed a wife to stabilize the family, and she needed an identity to investigate the mysterious death of her mother.
Gu Mingyuan, the crown prince of the Gu family in Beijing, is rumored to be a disabled and disfigured "waste". But on her wedding night, Shen Sa discovered that his legs were fine and his face had a stern expression. He pretended to be disabled for seven years, just waiting for someone to show his weakness.
What Shen Sa didn't know was that this man had been looking for her for ten years. Since he was twelve years old, he has had the same dream repeatedly - in the dream, he is a general, she is the daughter of an imperial doctor, and he died to save her. After waking up, he drew her appearance from memory, year after year, without stopping. Until the day of the substitute marriage, he saw the tear mole under her right eye and the cinnabar mole on her left collarbone - exactly the same as in the painting.
She thought it was the beginning of a contract, but he thought it was a reunion.
One pretends to be well-behaved, but is actually making progress at every step, while the other appears to be indifferent, but has already fallen into trouble.
Later, Shen Sa slapped the divorce agreement on the table: "Mr. Gu, the contract has expired."
Gu Mingyuan tore up the agreement and said in a low voice: "The contract is invalid. I want to sign a new one with you - valid for a lifetime."
This is a story about contracts, lies, fate and healing. Two people with thorns all over their bodies slowly approached each other while testing each other, and found in each other the thing they least dare to hope for in this life - love.
