   A marriage of convenience, arranged before love blossoms. Sleeping in the same room, Mei Bao's words in his sleep are mistaken for a dream. Forced into a marriage of convenience by sworn enemies, the child is a bargaining chip for inheritance. Yet, their love is absent, a marriage of convenience that begins with affection. She gives him a rope to measure her neck, which he discovers. She asks if he believes she'll buy him a necklace; he doesn't, so he ties her hands with the rope. Their child cries, and her tearful eyes evoke his pity. Yet, he stubbornly grabs Mei Bao's chin, revealing their enmity. Seeing her packing, he assumes she's trying to escape, forcibly binding her in his arms to prevent her from packing, and again warning her of their sworn enemy. He instructs the butler to monitor the castle 24/7. She had a sliver of a chance to escape. She asked him why he was doing this. He only knew that he was doing it because he had feelings for her and didn't want her to leave. He was simply trying to stop her from leaving. She pitifully begged him not to be angry, like a vixen. His father wanted him to divorce his wife, but he couldn't bear to hear the word "divorce." His grandfather had forced his father to divorce his mother, and now it was his father's turn to force him to divorce her. He still didn't know whether his mother was alive or dead. Her mother also wanted him to divorce her. He thought it was her family forcing him to divorce her, so he questioned her. She was unaware of what was going on and a single tear rolled down her cheek. He asked her what she was pretending for, but then he kissed her tear. He was a little confused. Why would a family feud do this? She said she wanted a divorce, and at that moment her family came to rescue her with weapons. He tried everything to stop them, injuring them all. He and she had always been mortal enemies, but she suddenly pulled out an art knife and tried to kill him. His eyes were bloodshot as he warned her not to divorce him, or she would die. She cried and asked him why he showed her any pity. He slapped her, trying to make her realize that they were enemies, but he killed her love for him. In disbelief and despair, she asked him if he had never loved her. He suddenly remembered his grandfather's words: "A man without love is carefree." She coldly suggested sleeping in separate rooms. The housekeeper asked him why he didn't kill her, and he told the housekeeper to shut up. She ran downstairs, and he thought she was trying to escape. Their conversations always seemed to have a chasm that love couldn't bridge, as if their entanglement was a deep-seated grudge. She asked where her family was, and he stubbornly insisted they were thrown up a mountain, threatening her to go with them. Heartbroken, she banged her head against a wall and lost her memory. He wept with heartache. The housekeeper asked him if he had fallen in love with her. She didn't know he was her husband. She hit him, and he saw it as a reward. He realized his true feelings and began a sweet, loving, and happy relationship with her. He fed her but not his son, and even when imprisoned, he thought it was a good thing that food and lodging were provided. Just as she was about to give birth to her daughter, she regained her memories. She asked him if she had fallen in love with him, listening to his heartbeat. He unconsciously and gently admitted it, but upon waking, he denied it, saying that he and she were sworn enemies. She asked him again, but he blushed and denied it. At the height of their love, his father made him divorce her. She heard him say he loved her, and he began to admit it, begging her not to leave. His father gave him 50 million to leave her, but she heard that he wanted more money and that the money was hers. She took 500 million as a breakup fee and went home. He started crying. He went back to her parents' home to chase after her, but her family said he was her savior. What was going on? His father, worried about his son, chased after him. Will this sworn enemy continue, or will they shake hands and make peace?
