In the imaginary modern city "Yunjing", wealthy families and upstart capital coexist, business wars and marriages are intertwined, and marriage has become a contractual tool in the power game. "Strategic marriage" is popular in the upper class, and is managed by the "Hongluan Palace", a marriage organization of aristocratic families.
● Shen Zhiyi: 26 years old, the sole heir to the Shen Group. She appears to be a gentle socialite, but in fact controls the underground intelligence network "Zhiyi Pavilion" and is good at capital sniping and public opinion manipulation. Forced to get married due to a family crisis, she resists marriage in her heart but has to act out the "good wife" script.
● Lu Chengyan: 29 years old, the leader of the Lu family chaebol, cold and decisive, the "dragon slayer" in the business world. He was betrayed by his relatives three years ago. Since then, he does not believe in feelings, but only in contracts. In order to regain the emptied equity, a "perfect marriage" is needed as a political bargaining chip.
● Marriage first, love later: The two got married in a hurry due to family interests and only met three times before the marriage. On the night of the wedding, a "marriage contract" was signed, stipulating that "if there is no relationship after three years, a peaceful divorce can be achieved", and an "emotional progress bar" was set up - a "couple task" must be completed once a month to maintain the appearance of marriage.
● Emotional progress bar mechanism: Supervised by the families of both parties, the tasks include: having dinner together, going on vacation together, publicly showing affection, meeting relatives and friends of both parties, etc. The degree of completion affects the equity release and resource support.
● Undercurrent foreshadowing: Shen Zhiyi's mother betrayed the family because of love and eventually died tragically; Lu Chengyan once had Bai Yueguang, who blocked the gun and died. Both are scarred, longing for and fearing love.
● Style and tone: urban elite style, with relaxed rhythm and progressive emotions. The early stage is cold and restrained, the middle stage is ambiguous and tumultuous, and the late stage is broken and reunited. It combines the elements of "Chasing Wife Crematorium", "Two-way Redemption" and "Strong Confrontation".
Intention: Danger is everywhere after marriage
