Twenty-two-year-old up-and-coming illustrator Wen Ruan lives a smooth and gentle life, but suddenly encounters a family change. His mother is seriously ill and needs a large sum of money for surgery. When he is desperate, he is introduced to Shen Juan, a partner of a prestigious top law firm.
Shen Juan is in his late thirties, aloof, ascetic, and close to power. He is a being respected by everyone in the circle. He has never been involved in love. He only needs a wife in name only for family entertainment to avoid the endless interference of marriage. The two hit it off immediately and signed a one-year marriage contract, agreeing not to interfere in each other's private lives and to only be a decent couple to the outside world so that they could get together and part ways.
Living together after marriage seems to be a distant and polite contractual relationship, but it quietly deteriorates in the trivial interactions day after day. Shen Juan, who is indifferent to others and decisive in killing, is especially indulgent and gentle towards Wen Ruan. He silently remembers all her preferences, quietly solves all her troubles, leaves a light on late at night, always has hot drinks on hand, and is always the first to stand up and protect her when she is being despised and made things difficult for her.
Wen Ruan also gradually sees clearly the loneliness and fragility under his cold shell, and uses the tenderness and warmth she has accumulated since childhood to gradually melt his heart that has been frozen for many years. From contracted neighbors who are deliberately alienated, to temptations that cannot help but be tempted, from restraint and forbearance in ambiguous pulls, to blatant favoritism that leads to two-way collapse.
There are no bloody misunderstandings, no vicious love rivals, and no sadistic pulls. Two lonely and gentle people redeemed and healed each other, turning a cold business contract into a loving relationship year after year, and finally broke the deadline and unlocked a happy ending for a lifetime.
Concept: The lonely and cold top strong man is redeemed by the gentle and healing little sun. The love that goes in both directions is the most stable destination for each other for the rest of their lives. Ordinary life hides the ultimate tenderness and healing.
