To avoid a commercial marriage alliance, Lu Chenfeng carefully set things up so that Jiang Nuannuan, a complete stranger, became his contract wife. She needed money to save her mother; he needed a shield. A marriage contract gave them both what they wanted.
After the wedding, he was cold and domineering, treating her like a pawn. She was as warm as the winter sun, holding on to her dignity despite the humiliation. As he tightened his control and alternated between coldness and warmth to test her, a crack quietly appeared in Lu Chenfeng's impenetrable walls.
His cousin Lu Moyan watched them with predatory interest, her best friend Lin Ya stood up for her, and his grandmother Qin Suyun watched events unfold in silence... Together, they formed a vast web. When a scheme crossed the line and deep love met betrayal, Lu Chenfeng finally understood, as he desperately tried to win his wife back, that he had already lost this game played in the name of love. And yet, he was all too willing to accept it.
