On the day of her blind date, she splashed wine on the greasy pants of a wealthy businessman.
Then, just as she turned to leave, she received a contract from a CEO of a powerful family.
Su Nian, a senior studying fashion design, is a "bargaining chip for an arranged marriage" in the eyes of her stepmother.
Gu Beichen, the youngest head of Gu Media, is a cold-blooded CEO who keeps everyone at a distance.
The contract lasts one year: she will be his contract wife, and he'll provide her with startup capital and top-tier resources.
They won't share a room, go public, or interfere in each other's private lives.
Su Nian thinks it's a good deal, but on her very first day in his private villa, Grandma Gu takes her around to meet the entire family.
She says, "I won't fall for you."
He says, "Best not to."
But when she earns her place at his company and becomes an intern right under his nose; when corporate spies strike and he defies everyone's objections to protect her; when his first love returns and exposes the truth behind their marriage...
Su Nian realizes that a contract can expire, but there's no stopping a heart from falling in love.
And on the day she turns away for good, the man who always seemed untouchable reddens his eyes for the first time, in front of a crowd of thousands:
"You said you don't want my money. Then... would you take me instead?"
