Su Yiren spent five years in a contractual marriage with Lu Yunting, a cold and indifferent man who remained devoted to his childhood sweetheart, Ouyang Shasha. Throughout their marriage, Su Yiren devoted herself entirely to caring for him, managing his household, and supporting his family, hoping to win his affection. However, on the final day of their five-year agreement, Lu Yunting presented her with a divorce paper, stating that their contract had expired and there was no need for further discussion. He revealed that Ouyang Shasha had returned from abroad, and Su Yiren realized she had been nothing more than a servant in his eyes. When she confronted him about his trips to see Ouyang Shasha, he dismissed her concerns and accused her of being unreasonable. The conversation ended with Lu Yunting receiving a call from Ouyang Shasha, during which his demeanor instantly softened, confirming Su Yiren's fears about his true feelings.
After the divorce meeting, Su Yiren was approached by Si Hong, a man she had known from her past, who arrived in a helicopter with armed guards to rescue her from the Lu family headquarters. Lu Yunting, witnessing Su Yiren leaving with another man, accused her of cheating and felt a surge of anger and humiliation. Su Yiren, however, remained calm and decisive, shaking off his hand and insisting on finalizing the divorce quickly. She left with Si Hong, who revealed that he had orchestrated the shutdown of Lu Yunting's business establishments as retaliation for making her cry. Su Yiren, now free from her marriage, decided to take control of her own life and business.
Su Yiren returned to her family's company, Su Corporation, which had been in decline for five years. She revealed herself as the new CEO, surprising her relatives who had been scheming to take over the company. Under her leadership, she began to clean house, firing incompetent managers and restructuring the company. Simultaneously, she revealed her secret identity as the world-renowned fashion designer Susan, who had been designing for Lu Yunting's company anonymously for years. She terminated all business contracts with Lu Group, causing significant financial losses to his company. Lu Yunting, desperate to restore the partnership, tried to meet with Susan, only to discover that his ex-wife was the designer he had ignored for five years.
The conflict escalated as Lu Yunting confronted Su Yiren, demanding to talk about the contract termination. Su Yiren refused to meet with him unless he agreed to finalize the divorce immediately. During a tense encounter at Su Corporation, an assassin hired by a fired manager attacked Su Yiren. Lu Yunting heroically protected her, sustaining a wound in the process. Despite his sacrifice, Su Yiren remained cold and distant, refusing to show gratitude or reconsider her stance. She insisted that their personal history was irrelevant to their business dealings and that she would not be swayed by his actions. The story concludes with Su Yiren firmly establishing her independence and power, while Lu Yunting begins to realize the depth of his past mistakes and the value of the woman he had taken for granted.
