A well-designed "hero saves beauty" car accident makes Chen Mo, a low-income young man, become the son-in-law of Jiangcheng's wealthy Lin family in the name of repaying his kindness. A contract stipulates that it will last for one year: he will have a place to live, and she will cope with the family's pressure to get married. His father-in-law, Lin Guodong, was scorned by him and the upper class was ridiculing him. His wife, Lin Wanqing, was polite and distant. Only his five-year-old adopted daughter Xiaoyu gave him warmth.
Chen Mo originally planned to leave after a year of forbearance, but unexpectedly discovered that the Lin Group was on the verge of a break in its capital chain. Witnessing Lin Wanqing's exhaustion with the statements late at night and Xiaoyu's dependence on him clinging to his clothes in his sleep, the former Wall Street financial genius decided to no longer remain silent.
As his son-in-law, he secretly made plans: meeting upstarts from the Internet through parent-teacher meetings, "encountering" business legends at the wet market, poking holes in group meetings, and building connections through Xiaoyu's charity sale. Internally, he deals with trapping those with vested interests, and externally, he resists rivals from stealing secrets. His father-in-law has also changed from contempt to fear. Lin Wanqing's attitude changed from suspicion to care in crisis after crisis, and the ice of the contract quietly melted.
Chen Mo struggled between his thunderous methods and his soft heart, and faced the old wealthy rules represented by his father-in-law - the rigid order that sacrificed the group and his family to maintain authority. In the end, in the decisive battle to determine the structure of Jiangcheng's business community, he and his father-in-law had a ideological confrontation, using business methods to protect the warmth that started from lies but has become the pillar of life, completing a double counterattack from "son-in-law" to "master of fate", from "contract husband" to "real family".
Purpose: Family reconstruction from contract to true love; self-awakening to break the shackles of identity
