Synopsis
Lu Yining, the most favored daughter of the Lu family, has been bright and charming since she was a child. Her facial features are exactly the same as those of her elder brother, but she is a little more innocent and obedient. In order to avoid the undercurrents of wealthy families and the thoughts of her parents, she was sent overseas for many years. Her temperament may seem lively and bright, but in fact she is naturally submissive at heart - too well-behaved and too easy to be controlled. The news of her return to China was like a pebble dropped into the upper reaches of City S. The Fu family and the Lu family had made arrangements to get married early, and Fu Jingting was the heir to the Fu family that attracted everyone's attention. On the surface, he appears to be a cold and elegant business elite, but secretly he is known as cold and paranoid in the alphabet circle. He is not a womanizer, but he has a strong desire to control. What he is best at is taming. On the first day Lu Yining entered the Fu Group as an intern, she made a mistake right under his nose. Everyone thought that Master Fu would treat her coldly, but unexpectedly he left her alone. There was no ambiguity in that punishment, but it made her realize clearly that by his side, she was no longer the little princess of the Lu family, but a "subordinate" who must abide by the rules and learn to obey. At the same time, Lu Yichen, the elegant and elegant "sister-controlling" brother, always watched with cold eyes. He is well aware of Fu Jingting's habits and dangers, and he also knows that the "almost instinctive obedience" in Yi Ning's nature is the most disturbing hidden danger. He wanted to protect her, but he also had mixed emotions: he had protected his sister since she was a child, but she would eventually be handed over to someone else - and that person happened to be Fu Jingting. The marriage between wealthy families seems to be stable, but there is a hidden struggle behind it. Will her brother's protection keep her under his wings, or will Fu Jingting's control make her gradually sink? When the vow of "baby kiss" is mentioned again, the secret relationship between the three people is destined to tear apart the layers of appearances, exposing the most instinctive desires and struggles. She has to learn to find her place in the gap between power and desire, and he, whether it is the protection of her brother or the control of a man, will not allow her to escape easily. Purpose: Under the surface of wealthy marriages and power competition, explore the boundaries between "obedience" and "control", uncover the hidden instincts in desires and emotions, and show the characters' struggle to find themselves and make choices amid oppression and fetters.
