Twenty-seven-year-old elite lawyer Wen Xi, after unexpectedly uncovering the mystery of her past, finds herself swapped with Yan Zhao, forced to leave her family and childhood sweetheart to enter into a contractual marriage with Shang Chen, the heir to a wealthy family in Beijing. Shang Chen is a rigid and aloof "iceberg CEO" who sees marriage as a responsibility; Wen Xi, traumatized by her family background, has closed herself off emotionally. Initially, the two are distant and awkward, but as they spend time together, Shang Chen shows care through small gestures and guides Wen Xi to confront her trauma, making her an exception for him. This marriage, which began as a contract, ultimately achieves a deep spiritual connection through the gentle flow of affection.

The aura looks right but chemistry is not there.
I was reluctant to watch this drama but my Tiktok friends suggest me to watch this and i am not regretting my choice.Wang Chanpeng and Lin Zixuan had perfect aura for Wen Xi and Shang Chen but for chemistry they are still weak compare to other version. But supporting cast especially FL real mother and SFL acting are decent to watch.
Apart from the premise, it doesn't feel like a short drama at all, giving it a refreshing feel. ML, in particular, is fantastic. He doesn't overstep his bounds when it comes to the FL's affairs, giving her complete trust and letting her handle things herself while quietly supporting and protecting her from behind.
FL's real mother, in particular, vividly portrays her inner turmoil between her two daughters, her guilt towards her daughter, and her shift from doting and indulgent towards the SFL r to resignation and eventual abandonment. This makes the audience very engaged. The overall story structure is complete, the plot is coherent, the content is rich, and the details are well-done. The only possible weakness is the romance between the ML and FL. They seem detached and each other their appearance makes it seem more like an older man/younger woman relationship, so it lacks sweetness.
I fast forwarded 1.5x through only ML and FL scenes, while I thoroughly enjoyed the other storylines, especially those of the SFL. The costumes, props, and sets are excellent, the visual quality is high, the music is just right, the filters are natural, and the original voice acting contributes to a very good viewing experience. Still waiting for older brother appearance in season 2.
Recommended to watch.
