[Marriage for good luck + Contract marriage + Brooding, possessive CEO + Resilient delicate heroine]
A sudden, serious illness left Bo Yanheng, the aloof and powerful head of the distinguished Bo family, bedridden and close to death.
The Old Madam of the Bo family was frantic. She searched the whole city for a young woman whose fate would match her grandson's, hoping she could marry him and bring him good fortune, extending his life.
Shen Zhihe, with nowhere else to turn and a staggering medical bill for her younger sister to pay, became the Old Madam's chosen candidate.
To save her sister's life, she gritted her teeth and agreed to marry Bo Yanheng, a man she had never met, rumored to be cruel and solitary.
After Bo Yanheng regained consciousness, he fiercely resisted the marriage arranged for him and threw a contract at her.
For one year, they would pretend to be husband and wife and stay out of each other's private lives.
He would pay her monthly, and when the contract expired, he would give her a huge lump sum to buy out a year of her youth and set her free.
As the year-long term neared its end,
the outside world was abuzz with rumors that the woman everyone called Mr. Bo's white moonlight, a young heiress from an old-money family, had returned from abroad.
Everyone said Shen Zhihe was nothing but a tool for bringing him good luck. Now that his white moonlight was back, she would surely be discarded.
With only three days left in their agreement, Shen Zhihe packed her bags, ready to leave.
Unexpectedly, the long-suppressing, unhinged Bo Yanheng finally snapped. He stopped her by force and kept her prisoner with obsessive possessiveness.
"I made the contract, but you are not allowed to leave."
