After graduating from the performance major, Gu Zhenzhen was ready to embark on a career in performing arts with both virtue and talent. However, the reality was harsher than her expectations. The budding actress was hurt by ruthless unspoken rules in the industry. Her agent told her that if she could accompany a big shot, she would have a chance to make it big. But Gu Zhenzhen refused to sell herself out and chose to jump off a building instead of being forced to accompany someone. As a result, her agent abandoned her and the company demanded compensation for breach of contract. Unscrupulous journalists pushed her into the abyss with endless rumors, casting a thick shadow over Gu Zhenzhen’s acting career.

Gu Zhenzhen found herself in a difficult situation. Her younger sister Gu Xinxin needed a heart transplant due to congenital heart disease. Since their parents had passed away, she took on the responsibility of taking care of her sister. Her sister wanted her to give up on herself, but Gu Zhenzhen refused. Just when she was at her wit’s end, she met Lu Yunchen, who was known as the cold-blooded CEO and was obsessed with money. He proposed a deal to Gu Zhenzhen: he would give her 30 million yuan to pay off the breach of contract fee owed to her agent and help her sister complete the heart transplant surgery if she agreed to sign a hidden marriage agreement with him.

Lu Yunchen had his own reasons for doing this. He did it to please his beloved grandmother. Gu Zhenzhen didn’t want to deceive his grandmother, but she had no choice but to agree because of this tempting offer. However, she also had some conditions: first, he could not interfere with her work and life; second, there could be no physical relationship between them; as for the money, she wrote an IOU and paid it back in installments over thirty years. The hidden marriage with Lu Yunchen was considered as interest on the loan. The two reached an agreement.
