Jiang Mei believes her marriage to Ning Shiyu is nothing more than a business arrangement.

She is the least-loved daughter in her family. All her family's attention goes to her stepmother's daughter, leaving Jiang Mei to be pushed into the marriage to strengthen the family's interests.

On their wedding night, Ning Shiyu places a marital agreement in front of her.

“We'll divorce in two years. During the marriage, we'll be husband and wife in name only. We won't interfere in each other's affairs, but we will fulfill our marital obligations.”

Jiang Mei is convinced there will never be love between them.

But as time passes, Ning Shiyu realizes he has fallen in love with her without even noticing.

He starts paying attention to what she likes, leaves an important meeting to pick her up himself in a downpour, grows restless when other men get close to her, and cuts his business trips short to spend her birthday with her.

One quiet, snowy night,

he cups her face and says hoarsely, “I'm sorry. I've already fallen in love with you. I won't let you go.”

She curves her lips into a smile and lays a hand on his strong-featured face.

“Then I won't go.”

It turns out that even a meeting that begins with self-interest can grow into the most sincere love.
