Shen Guan Heng, a powerful figure in the capital’s elite circles, first meets Su Yu An, a poor young man, at an upscale restaurant. But an accidental spill of soup leaves the already heavily indebted Su Yu An facing a staggering bill for damages.
Fate takes a turn, and he enters the entertainment industry, only to end up signing with Shen Guan Heng’s company by a twist of fate.
Shen Guan Heng falls for Su Yu An the second time they meet. Su Yu An, meanwhile, falls for him at their first meeting and through their everyday interactions, but neither knows how the other feels.
Family pressure mounts, and an arranged marriage is imminent.
Shen Guan Heng plots step by step, presenting a contract for a marriage of convenience.
Mistaking the love in Shen Guan Heng’s heart for exploitation, Su Yu An agrees to the deal, bearing wounds inside and out. Their marriage contract and a magnolia brooch become the discreet tokens binding them together.
A marriage agreement traps two people.
Suspicion takes root, undercurrents surge, and misunderstandings pile upon one another.
When the hurt reaches its peak, Su Yu An leaves the country alone and cuts off all contact.
Years later, they meet again. The magnolia brooch is still pinned to his lapel, but the young man has long since outgrown his naivety and now shines brilliantly.
The once proud and cold man in power lays aside his pride and begins a long journey to win his wife back.
As layers of misunderstanding are cleared away, the two wounded souls finally find their way to each other. The magnolias bloom, and winter comes to an end.
