In order to save the family business that was on the verge of bankruptcy, Shen Zhi was forced to sign a marriage agreement, but found out that the marriage partner was actually his first love, Lu Yu, who left without saying goodbye three years ago.
Three years ago, Shen Zhi left a note and fled in a hurry on a rainy night because he was afraid of family pressure; three years later, Lu Yu was already the leader of the business empire. He looked at the embarrassed Shen Zhi in front of him, with hatred and unwillingness in his eyes: "After signing this agreement, you are mine. This time, I will not let you run away again."
The shackles of contract marriage bound the two again, and the love and resentment of the past continued to ferment in their daily relationship. Lu Yu pretends to be affectionate with indifference, while Shen Zhi falls into temptation step by step. When the truth of the family crisis gradually emerged, they discovered that this contract marriage was a carefully planned "reunion trap" from the beginning - what he wanted was never a marriage, but to regain the person he had lost.
Concept: "Ember Engagement" uses contractual marriage as the shell and reunion as the core to explore the game between interests and sincerity. Shen Zhi and Lu Yu signed a marriage contract due to a family crisis, and reunited with their old friends from three years ago. The contract became a bond that bound each other again.
The two faced the scars of the past while getting along day and night. Lu Yu used indifference to cover up his paranoia, and Shen Zhi used resistance to pretend to be defensive. When the truth about the family emerges, they see clearly that their separation stems from misunderstanding and fear, and finally break the shackles of the contract and let their sincerity return. This marriage is not only a reunion, but also a redemption for each other. It allows the two to transform in the process of running in, proving that the true meaning of marriage is to truly stay together, rather than being bound by form.
