The Lu family's ironclad rule: a six-month contest to choose an heir. Anyone who breaks the rules is put on the blacklist and eliminated for good.
Lu Yan is the discarded son of the Lu family. Returning from the bottom, he enters the power struggle alone to overturn the wrongful verdict in his mother's old case.
Every move in this deadly game could be fatal, and falling in love would mean exposing a weakness. So he pays a fortune to hire Su Qinghe, the most levelheaded risk-control consultant.
She has paid dearly for trusting others and sticks to her principles: business only, no feelings.
Bound by a contract, they join forces to break through the deadlock, guard against traps, and spar over power and strategy.
They cautiously test each other and keep their defenses up, convinced that self-interest comes first and neither has any sincere feelings.
Only later does everyone learn:
The blacklist can eliminate every rival, but it cannot rein in his heart when it loses control and falls for her.
The early power struggles are tense and suspenseful, while the later romance grows sweeter, with nothing but indulgence and no angst.
When the dust settles, she is the one and only woman he will never strike from his list, his cherished love and his future for life.
