Tao Wu is the most forgettable country girl in Yunqi Village. Her daily routine consists of hauling bricks, gathering herbs, brewing medicine for her grandmother, and working through math problems on scrap paper.
Her greatest wish in life is to cure her grandmother's eyes and protect the ancient tea mountain her mother left behind. Romance has never even crossed her mind.
That is, until Lu Yanzhou, the heir to the powerful Lu family in the capital, gets his car stuck in the muddy road at the village entrance. She asks him for two hundred yuan to help push it out.
Lu Yanzhou thinks she's uncouth, stupid, and ungrateful. Then he turns around and uses one hundred thousand yuan to bring her back to the capital, where he makes her sign a "contract girlfriend" agreement.
She keeps hauling bricks, gathering herbs, and doing math problems. She records everything Lu Yanzhou gives her in her ledger, down to every cup of milk tea.
Lu Yanzhou is furious. "Do you even think of me as your boyfriend?"
Tao Wu gives it some serious thought. "My contract boyfriend."
Later, Tao Wu wins an international award, becomes the youngest professor at Z University, and makes the Forbes list of influential people.
That night, he gets drunk and clings to her. "Baby, stop doing research and work on me instead, okay?"
Tao Wu: "Calm down..."
Wasn't he supposed to force her into love? How did he end up being the one who lost his mind first?
