Business world's rising star Pei Zhiyan is decisive and impeccably distinguished. He married Song Ci, whose family was ordinary, only to appease his family and fulfill their so-called engagement.
He planned for the marriage to last just three years before divorcing her.
But in the second year of their marriage, an unexpected night of passion changed everything. From that night on, Pei Zhiyan discovered that he could no longer control his skin hunger for her.
Reason told him that it was his body that had chosen her, and that it had nothing to do with feelings.
It was only when his desire turned into a pathological obsession that Pei Zhiyan realized something was wrong.
He grew less and less able to live without Song Ci.
At the same time, Pei Zhiyan suddenly discovered that Song Ci had a beloved man she could never have. When their marriage contract expired, she would rather give up a divorce settlement worth over a hundred million and "abandon her husband and child" to run to him.
For the first time, the cold-hearted business mogul Pei Zhiyan, who had never broken his word, tears up the marriage contract, breaks his promise, and refuses to divorce.
But after giving birth, Song Ci vanishes without a trace, and he cannot find her no matter how hard he searches.
They meet again three years later. Song Ci has put him and the past behind her and is preparing to marry the man she once loved.
Pei Zhiyan, who has always kept his emotions hidden, loses control for the first time.
He decides to crash her wedding.
