Lin Xi was once a rich girl from a well-off family, but after her father's company encountered a crisis, she was forced to shoulder the burden of the family. By chance, she met Gu Chen, the business tycoon of S City. He was cold and handsome, but because of her eyes that were similar to Bai Yueguang's, he proposed a contract marriage. In order to save the family business, Lin Xi agreed to the deal and became his nominal wife.
After their marriage, Gu Chen was cold and distant from her, but as they got along day after day, he gradually became attracted to her tenacity and warmth. However, Lin Xi always knew that he was just a substitute, and those similar eyes were what he really cared about. When she discovered that Gu Chen was actually involved in the crisis of her father's company, she was disheartened and decided to end the relationship.
At this moment, Gu Chen's Bai Yueguang "Su Yuqing" suddenly appeared. The gentle and kind-hearted Su Li is actually Su Wan's twin sister. She traveled far away from home due to a heart transplant operation, but she always loved Gu Chen deeply. Su Li's return revealed Gu Chen's dusty past and stirred up the fate of the three people. Su Wan's conspiracy, Su Li's illness, and Lin Xi's concession made this relationship fall into deeper entanglements.
Gu Chen struggled between truth and lies, and Lin Xi wandered between love and pain. When Su Li's life came to an end, when Su Wan's conspiracy was exposed, and when the truth about contract marriage surfaced, Lin Xi and Gu Chen finally understood that some feelings have long transcended substitutes and contracts. However, fate's twists have made their love full of thorns. Will they reunite, or will they be separated?
Intention: Deep but shallow yet unforgettable love
