Kiss My Heart, I’ll Give You My Life

Nan Sheng, the third daughter of the wealthy Nan family, returns to Shen City after a month abroad. Her life is immediately disrupted when Fu Moyan, the ruthless second master of the Fu family and her fiancé of six months, barges into her villa with bodyguards. He brings a former maid, Lin Mei, who accuses Nan Sheng of drugging Fu Moyan a month prior to force a marriage, claiming the Nan family orchestrated the encounter to secure the Fu family's financial support during their business troubles. Fu Moyan, who despises being manipulated, confronts Nan Sheng with cold hostility. Despite her denials, he orders his assistant to cripple Lin Mei’s hand as punishment for her testimony, causing Nan Sheng to faint from the shock and the smell of blood.

At the hospital, doctors discover Nan Sheng is one month pregnant with Fu Moyan’s child. The Fu elders, particularly Old Madam Fu, are outraged by Fu Moyan’s violent behavior and scold him severely. They insist he apologize and take responsibility for the unborn grandchild. Nan Sheng, maintaining her composure, learns from her mother, Chen Lei, who suffers from a severe mental illness and is currently in an Australian clinic. Chen Lei pressures Nan Sheng to marry and have children to fulfill her dying wish, even threatening suicide if her daughter does not comply. Faced with her mother’s instability and the political need for the Fu family’s protection against their business rivals, the Lu family, Nan Sheng agrees to proceed with the marriage.

Nan Sheng and Fu Moyan sign a contractual marriage agreement. She demands a secret registration and a trip to Australia to visit her mother, while he insists on no public wedding, her fulfillment of the Fu Matriarch’s duties, and strict non-interference in his affairs. Nan Sheng reveals she is aware of the Nan family’s difficulties and accepts the marriage as a strategic alliance to protect her family and secure safety from the Lu family’s retaliation. She also plans to keep the child under the Nan family name, discarding the Fu surname after their divorce. Fu Moyan, initially disgusted by her calculated nature, finds himself increasingly unsettled by her gentle yet sharp demeanor.

As they navigate their new life together, tensions rise. Fu Moyan accuses Nan Sheng of scheming, while she counters his arrogance with calm, cutting remarks that leave him speechless. When Old Madam Fu visits their new seaside villa, Nan Sheng skillfully manages the situation, convincing the elder that Fu Moyan is a devoted husband. She forces Fu Moyan to play along, buying wontons late at night and pretending intimacy, which frustrates him but earns the old lady’s approval. During a wedding photoshoot, their forced proximity reignites the physical tension from their first night together. Fu Moyan becomes visibly affected by Nan Sheng’s beauty and subtle provocations, though he masks his confusion with anger.

The story follows their complicated dynamic as they pretend to be a loving couple for the Fu elders while harboring deep mutual suspicion. Nan Sheng continues to investigate the truth behind the drugging incident, determined to clear her name. Meanwhile, Fu Moyan struggles with his growing attraction to her despite his belief that she is a manipulative schemer. The narrative sets the stage for a battle of wits between two proud individuals, where marriage is a tool for survival and power, but underlying emotions threaten to complicate their contractual arrangement.
