At 21, Su Zhiyao is a brilliant student in Jing University’s mechanical engineering department. She goes on a blind date so she can pursue a PhD.
At their first meeting, she hands over a prenuptial agreement: no wedding, no wedding rings, and separate homes.
The man across from her, Li Chengyan, reads her information and marries her within a week.
She thinks she’s found a long-term meal ticket and can focus on her academic work in peace.
Until New Year’s Eve, when he takes her to the Li family’s old estate.
Not one person in the crowded room gets up. She spends the whole evening standing in high heels, her legs aching and trembling.
He stands beside her without saying a word.
On the drive home, she gazes out the window and thinks: Whatever. It’s just a contract.
Later, at a celebration banquet, the man strides through the crowd and grabs her wrist in front of the entire company.
“Su Zhiyao, I’ve changed my mind.”
“You’re not getting out of the wedding ring, the wedding, or going public. Not a single one.”
