Forced into the arrangement due to family pressures, Su Ruoxue reluctantly agrees to live with Shen Lang for a year, but she quickly finds him to be nothing more than a useless freeloader, far beneath her standards.

Shen Lang, however, is not as simple as he appears. Though initially indifferent to the luxuries and status Su Ruoxue represents, the disdain in her eyes ignites a fire within him.

What starts as a mere contract engagement evolves into a journey of redemption, love, and the pursuit of true happiness, with Shen Lang determined to earn Su Ruoxue’s love at all costs.

Relentless Pursuit

"Officer Bai, please don't say any more. This matter is our police department's issue. Mr. Shen Lang is innocent!" Yang Hu said this, but his tone clearly betrayed some unease. 


Bai Qingyu felt her worldview collapsing. Yang Hu had always been a steadfast Chief of Police in her eyes. She never expected her respected superior to adopt such an attitude, leaving Bai Qingyu utterly disappointed. 


"Chief Yang, you can't cover up for others like this! Even if this thug is innocent, proper procedures like detention and interrogation must still be followed!" Bai Qingyu pointed at Shen Lang. 


"Officer Bai, this matter is none of your concern!" Yang Hu's face darkened instantly. 


He remembered the days when he was on the border fighting drug traffickers. He and his comrades were captured by local mercenaries, and it was Shen Lang who single-handedly stormed the enemy camp, killing over a dozen mercenaries and bringing back his comrades unharmed.
