With a marriage contract as her only choice, Qi Le is forced to marry Gu Mingyuan, the son of a general.
On their wedding night, Qi Le lays down “three rules” with Gu Mingyuan. One is that they will act like a loving couple in public, but live their own lives once they are behind closed doors.
One month into the marriage, Qi Le refuses to attend banquets with Gu Mingyuan.
Four months in, Qi Le acts like a devoted wife in front of everyone, playing the loving couple with Gu Mingyuan.
Later, rumors spread that the two are at odds behind closed doors. Many people watch the drama, waiting for them to divorce.
No one expects Qi Le to show up with Gu Mingyuan and publicly flaunt their affection.
.
After the wedding, Gu Mingyuan learns that Qi Le already loves someone else. He decides she is only his wife in name and agrees with her: they can spend their lives treating each other with respect and staying out of each other's way.
Until Qi Le, dressed as a man, appears before him.
He sees a side of Qi Le unlike the woman who is merely his wife in name.
The moment this vivid, captivating Qi Le catches his eye, Gu Mingyuan immediately abandons his former plan.
What does it matter if they only treat each other with respect and he silently protects her from the sidelines, even if Qi Le still has someone else in her heart? That's in the past.
