To escape an arranged marriage and protect her freedom to live life on her own terms, Li Chutong finds herself with no way out and decides to quickly marry a reliable stranger, putting an end to her family's attempts to force her into marriage once and for all. By a twist of fate, she meets Gu Yanwen, the president of the Gu Group, who is also being pressured by his family to marry and urgently needs a nominal wife to appease his elders. The two hit it off immediately and sign a short-term marriage agreement: they will not interfere in each other's private lives, will not develop romantic feelings, and will divorce amicably when the agreement expires. Thus begins a contractual whirlwind marriage in which each gets what they need.
