[A marriage of wealthy families that began with interests, a contractual relationship trapped in a chess game.
When Ji Weining, a calm lawyer, married into the unfathomable Jingzhou He family in order to escape the siege of her family, she knew that this was just a deal where each got what they needed.
"Play the good role of Mrs. He" is the only rule set by the capital helmsman He Weizhi. She is also prepared to fulfill her duties and maintain the surface peace.
However, as soon as you step into the He family's old house, an invisible contest begins.
Faced with the elegant but sharp scrutiny of her mother-in-law Wen Shulan: "The daughter-in-law of the He family represents the face of the He family in every word and deed."
The seemingly ordinary but critical inquiry with He Wensheng: "The He family never lacks resources. What matters is whether it is worth the investment."
Ji Weining responded cautiously with a lawyer's instinct, smiled and nodded: "Everything will be well with the family."
In this step-by-step Hongmen Banquet, her nominal husband, the seemingly indifferent rule-maker He Weizhi, unexpectedly became her barrier many times.
He fended off the temptation from his family, and his words were concise but powerful: "You don't have to compromise yourself to please them, you can stay and work in Hong Kong City with peace of mind." Even when his father used her family as a bargaining chip to put pressure, he made a heavy promise: "You can just do your own thing with peace of mind."
When guarding against the high wall built by reason, encounters silent protection; when the chess game of marriage is quietly mixed with heartbeats that are difficult to distinguish between true and false; when the chess game of interests is intertwined with secret emotions, where will two sober and alert hearts go in this game called marriage?
Purpose: Marriage is not the end, only love for each other is the starting point of rebirth
