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. Determined to prove himself, Shen Lang sets out to win her heart and respect, starting by securing a position at her company.

But no matter the odds, Shen Lang is resolute—he will win back the woman who sees him as nothing more than a burden, even if it means defying expectations and revealing the true depth of his character.

In this tale of unexpected romance and personal growth, Shen Lang and Su Ruoxue must confront their preconceptions and the secrets that bind them. 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

By the time Shen Lang got home, it was almost ten o'clock, and Su Ruoxue was already asleep. 


Shen Lang didn't need to cultivate now, so after taking a shower, he also lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. 


Early the next morning, after Su Ruoxue washed up, she changed into an OL business suit and went downstairs. 


"We have a meeting this morning. Come to the company with me," the woman said indifferently, still wearing her perpetually cold expression. 


"Alright," Shen Lang shrugged, not asking further questions. 


The two left the villa, and Shen Lang got into Su Ruoxue's Audi. 


The atmosphere was somewhat silent on the way. 


The car's audio system played Chopin's classical piano pieces. This woman's taste in music was unique, similar to Shen Lang's preferences. 


Few people enjoy classical piano music, but both Shen Lang and Su Ruoxue were not like most people.
