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

Su Ruoxue rubbed her head, feeling somewhat helpless, and said, "Xiaoxiao, you'd better stop cooking from now on. The kitchen is a complete mess." 


Not only were several bowls broken, but even the pot was burned through. 


"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I'll go buy some takeout for us!" Liu Xiaoxiao pouted, feeling a bit down. 


"No need for that trouble, I'll just call for takeout," Su Ruoxue quickly replied. 


"It's fine. Since I messed up the meal, just punish me once! Besides, I know a place that has good food. Wait for me for half an hour," Liu Xiaoxiao said as she took off her apron and walked out the door. 


Seeing how determined Liu Xiaoxiao was, Su Ruoxue didn't stop her and went back to the kitchen to clean up the utensils. 


Shen Lang returned to his room and lay down for a while, still finding this morning's incident somewhat strange. 


Why would Liu Wen target Su Ruoxue for no apparent reason? Could someone be secretly directing him? But something still seemed off.
