[Marriage first, love later | Substitution marriage | Childbirth contract]
The ancestors of the Lu and Shen families made a marriage contract, and it was originally planned that the daughter of the Lu family would marry the youngest son of the Shen family.
At the banquet, the youngest daughter of the Lu family refused to marry in public, and the engagement contract was on the verge of being broken up.
The Shen family has a weak foundation, so the whole family bets on their youngest son to make a comeback. Seeing that their chance of clinging to the Lu family was about to fail, they decided to focus on their eldest daughter, Shen Ruoning.
A temporary marriage was finalized.
Shen Ruoning, who was forced to attend the banquet, agreed to get married in full view of everyone.
But she made a condition on the spot that the marriage belonged only to her and the Lu family, and the Shen family could not use her identity to ask for any benefits.
The Lu family kept their promise and arranged for the family leader, Lu Chengjin, to marry her.
There is no ceremony and no greetings when receiving the certificate.
Wedding night.
Shen Ruoning faced the husband she had never met before, her tone calm and determined.
"Lu Chengjin, I need a child."
The two reached a secret agreement.
To the outside world, they act like a wealthy and loving couple, but in private they draw clear boundaries and only work together to conceive children.
Shen Ruoning wants to borrow a child to completely cut off the endless coercion of her original family. Lu Chengjin only wanted to keep the family covenant and maintain business dignity, so the two agreed not to fall in love.
But in the days when they were together day and night, the Shen family was greedy and kept coming to ask for and entanglement.
Every time a storm came, Lu Chengjin stood in front of her calmly, blocking her from the troubles from her parents' family.
Above the calm and restrained transactions, unexpected heartbeats quietly arise.
It started as a calculated contract marriage, but in the end, both people willingly surrendered their sincerity.
