A marriage of convenience, with each side getting what they want. Shen Qingci and Fu Yanshen agree on three rules: no sharing a bedroom, no interfering in each other's affairs, and no talk of love.
Fu Yanshen is pleased by how sensible she is, but soon grows curious.
Why does she always practice dancing alone late at night? Why does she avoid opportunities handed to her as if they were snakes and scorpions?
So he personally lays a gentle trap for her: investing in her dance troupe, stepping into her life, and solving her problems. He waits for her to get used to him, depend on him, and eventually fall for him completely.
Until Shen Qingci wins an international award and raises a glass to him at the celebratory banquet, smiling politely. “Mr. Fu, our contract has expired. We should get divorced.”
Only then does Fu Yanshen suddenly realize that in the script he so carefully planned, he is the one who has become too deeply immersed in his role.
