Su Qiuran marries Ji Weichi in exchange for the chance to keep her perfume shop alive.
Ji Weichi marries her to silence his family.
On the day they go to register their marriage, he arrives late.
Afterward, Ji Weichi coolly tells Su Qiuran, "Remember, ours is a marriage of convenience. We stay out of each other's business."
After they marry, Ji Weichi keeps his word and leaves her alone.
At a banquet, wealthy wives make cutting remarks about Su Qiuran being a gold digger who latched onto a rich man. The whole room turns to stare.
Ji Weichi sits in his seat without saying a word.
Feeling sick, she turns and runs to the restroom.
When she returns, the woman and her husband are gone.
She thinks they must have looked down on her and left early.
Overwhelmed by debt, Su Qiuran is anxious. Before she can ask him for help, his assistant tells her, "Mr. Ji isn't responsible for your personal debts outside the terms of your contract."
She finally understands. Beyond their agreement, there won't be a single cent between them.
Su Qiuran learns to keep quiet.
She keeps reminding herself that she and her husband aren't close.
Su Qiuran realizes she's becoming a little obsessed with this man.
When he drinks water, she watches his Adam's apple.
When he looks through documents, she stares at his fingers.
To save face, she keeps her mouth shut and just wants to stick it out for a year, then get divorced!
One night, drunk, she paws at Ji Weichi, grabs his hand and gnaws on it, then says with a flushed face, "Give it to me."
When she wakes up, she can't remember a thing...
All she knows is that her contract husband seems to look at her differently now.
It makes her feel... hot.
Until one day, she forgets to close the bathroom door while showering and accidentally calls his name, only to discover the man standing right outside.
She is so startled that she faints on the spot, and Ji Weichi catches her in his arms.
Su Qiuran stammers, "W-what are you going to do?"
Ji Weichi: "Give it to you."
