Everyone else thinks Su Lingyi is a lucky girl who married into a wealthy family.
No one knows she was the illegitimate daughter of a powerful family, raised under someone else's roof amid cold looks and schemes. She doesn't believe in love, only in protecting herself.
Shen Yanzhi is a shrewd businessman who acts decisively and despises romance. He refuses to be bound by an arranged marriage.
To escape her family's pressure to marry, Su Lingyi seeks him out and proposes a contract marriage.
Her affection and gentleness are just a protective disguise. She wants a stepping stone into the wealthy world; he wants a smart, low-maintenance ally. Each gets what they need.
After the wedding, they put on a show as husband and wife in public, but join forces in private, tearing apart schemes within the household and resolving business crises.
They think they're just allies bound by mutual interests, but two hearts that don't believe in love quietly fall for each other as they spend day after day together.
