Clearheaded and independent × cool and warmhearted
Cen Nian’s beloved grandmother, the only family she has, is gravely ill. To put her grandmother’s mind at ease, she decides to go on a blind date and get married in a hurry.
Her date is the son of her aunt’s colleague. Her aunt keeps saying he’s tall, handsome, and an art student.
On a snowy winter day, Cen Nian waits and waits at the blind date, until her date finally arrives. He’s exactly as her aunt described, if not even better.
“Will you marry me? For six months,” Cen Nian says bluntly.
Her date is just as straightforward. “Sure.”
As they leave, the wind howls and snow falls heavily. Her date takes off his scarf and gives it to her without saying a word.
Afterward, her aunt calls to say that her colleague’s son has gotten back together with his ex and won’t be coming to the blind date.
Cen Nian: ? Then who did she just go on a date with?
A few days later, Cen Nian joins the other hotel managers to welcome the chairman’s son, the hotel’s future owner, Mr. Ai.
As the hotel’s “showpiece,” Cen Nian stands at the front of the welcoming party. She watches the hotel owner approach and finds him strangely familiar.
When he gets closer, she recognizes him. Wait, isn’t he the man from the blind date?

Ai Xinghan, the third son of Ai Liyong, chairman of the Ai Group, is imposing and handsome, and used to be an air force pilot.
He has no interest in business, and his capable older brother had always been expected to take over. But his brother is in poor health and has been unable to have children for years, so the family has turned its attention to him.
He sizes Cen Nian up. He never expected this young woman to stay so calm, smiling sweetly without the slightest sign of nerves or surprise. She has impressive courage and acting skills.
Cen Nian also thinks her courage and acting skills are pretty impressive.
After getting their marriage certificate, Cen Nian does her job as a diligent employee at the company, then throws herself into playing her role after work.
The thought of getting a divorce six months later, then carrying on with her carefree life while also gaining plenty of assets, fills her with joy.
But one thing goes wrong: Ai Xinghan doesn’t seem to have any intention of getting divorced.
At a company team-building event, someone sabotages Cen Nian. She ends up deep in the woods with a sprained ankle.
When Ai Xinghan hears what happened, he angrily suspends the meeting in progress and flies a helicopter out to get her himself.
A senior executive objects: “Mr. Ai, she’s just an employee. Is all this really necessary? This meeting concerns a contract worth hundreds of millions.”
Ai Xinghan sneers. “She’s my wife! Even if she weren’t my wife, even if she were just an ordinary employee, I’d still go get her myself! Without employees, there are no contracts and no company!”

A year later, Cen Nian accidentally finds a sketchbook in Ai Xinghan’s study.
Every page is filled with sketches of her: her low ponytail, cool eyes, and slightly furrowed brows.
The male lead’s secret love finally comes true. The female lead falls in love after marriage.
