To deal with her family's urging to marry, Yu Tingwan chooses to wed Gu Jinze, a man she has met only once.

Their marriage comes from an old promise: their elders arranged their betrothal when they were young, but the two of them barely know each other.

Yu Tingwan only knows that Gu Jinze is the founder of Weiguang Technology. He built the company from scratch and, in just three years, became a sought-after new star in the tech industry, making headlines in major financial publications and enjoying unmatched success.

Gu Jinze is mature and steady, with an even temperament. He usually goes along with her arrangements, except when it comes to sleeping in separate rooms.

The only condition the man sets is, "I'm not playing house. We don't have feelings for each other, but we can cultivate them."

Yu Tingwan agrees, and that night they share a bed.

One day, Yu Tingwan overhears him chatting with a friend.

"Who still takes childhood betrothals seriously these days? Only you would actually marry her just to keep a promise."

Gu Jinze says, "I should be thanking her. She saved me from a lonely life."

Gu Jinze says they'll cultivate their feelings, but they continue to treat each other politely, keeping to their own sides of the river, with no real progress.

Then one day, a neighbor from Yu Tingwan's childhood returns from abroad and boldly confesses to her. "Tingwan, you don't even have feelings for him. Why bother?"

Yu Tingwan calmly retorts, "You're wrong. My husband and I have a very good relationship."

By chance, Gu Jinze sees this. The man takes Yu Tingwan's hand tightly, his dark eyes sweeping over the person before them.

When they get home, Yu Tingwan pulls her arm away. "Sorry for dragging you into this."

Gu Jinze traps her in his embrace, his expression unreadable. "Tingwan, I'm not just a prop."

The man kisses her, and Yu Tingwan is forced to take his passionate kiss.

"You said we had a good relationship. We won't know until we kiss."

Later, at Weiguang Technology's anniversary celebration, Gu Jinze announces that the company is changing its name to Tingmeng.

"During the darkest time of my life, she was the one who brought me light."

"Starting this company made my dream come true. Being with her makes my sweetest dream come true."
