Jiang Ranran is the eldest daughter of the wealthy Jiang family, though she spent twenty years in an orphanage after being switched at birth. Recently returned to her biological family, she displays a detached and unconventional attitude toward her new status. Her arranged fiancé, Yi Sichen, is the heir to the powerful Yi family, but he openly despises her and has eloped with Jiang Ying, the fake heiress who replaced Jiang Ranran at birth. When Yi Sichen abandons her, Jiang Ranran remains indifferent, viewing the broken engagement as a relief rather than a tragedy.
Her brother, Jiang Ye, pressures her to find a replacement groom before the scheduled April wedding to avoid social disgrace. Jiang Ranran casually suggests hiring an actor, a notion Jiang Ye dismisses as impossible. While shopping at an airport to spend money from her brother, Jiang Ranran encounters Yi Sichen and Jiang Ying, who are attempting to flee the country. A chaotic chase ensues when a former mental hospital director, whom Jiang Ranran had previously outsmarted, spots her and pursues her aggressively. Yi Sichen joins the pursuit, believing she is stalking him. Jiang Ranran escapes by hiding in a parked luxury car, only to discover it belongs to Yi Jingnian, Yi Sichen’s reclusive and feared uncle.
Yi Jingnian is the head of KS Capital, an international conglomerate with deep ties to the underworld. He is currently under pressure from his family, particularly his eccentric grandfather, to marry and produce an heir. Seeing Jiang Ranran in his car, Yi Jingnian makes an impulsive offer: he will pay her two million to pose as his fiancée to satisfy his family. Initially refusing due to the danger she perceives in him, Jiang Ranran accepts when she realizes refusal is not a viable option. During the drive to the Yi ancestral home, she learns Yi Jingnian’s identity and panics, recognizing him as the ruthless figure rumored to be a pervert. She attempts to renegotiate, but he insists on the arrangement.
At the Yi mansion, Jiang Ranran meets Elder Yi, a genius with a fragile mental state who values eccentricity. To avoid exposure and secure her release, Jiang Ranran adopts the persona of a savage named Jiang Aotian, claiming to have grown up in the wild. Her bizarre behavior and blunt honesty amuse Elder Yi, who finds her refreshing compared to polite society. He accepts her as Yi Jingnian’s fiancée and sets the wedding date for the same day as Yi Sichen’s planned marriage to Jiang Ying. Jiang Ranran’s attempts to sabotage the match by acting rude fail because Elder Yi interprets her actions as charming authenticity.
Forced to continue the charade, Jiang Ranran is taken to Yi Jingnian’s residence, where she is essentially confined. Yi Jingnian’s assistant, Lu Feng, reveals that Jiang Ranran is from the Sacred Hall Orphanage, a place with dark secrets, and suspects she may be a spy sent to infiltrate him. Despite this suspicion, Yi Jingnian decides to keep her close to observe her true intentions. He offers her a new contract with a compensation of one hundred million to complete the wedding, a sum that terrifies Jiang Ranran as much as the danger it implies.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ranran learns that Yi Sichen has agreed to marry her only to secure his inheritance, planning to keep her locked away while continuing his relationship with Jiang Ying. Jiang Ying, now a viral internet sensation known as the "Disney runaway princess," is being groomed as a superstar by Yi Sichen. Jiang Ranran attempts to break off her engagement with Yi Sichen, but her biological parents refuse, prioritizing the family’s business interests over her happiness. Her brother suggests she endure the marriage and have affairs afterward, leaving her with no clear path to freedom.
Jiang Ranran visits the ruins of the Sacred Hall Orphanage, which burned down two years prior. There, she encounters Yi Jingnian, who reveals he sponsored the orphanage. She speaks fondly of her childhood friend, Shen Xinghe, who also survived the fire and disappeared. Yi Jingnian’s expression darkens subtly at the mention of Shen Xinghe’s name, hinting at a deeper connection to the orphanage’s tragic history. The encounter leaves Jiang Ranran unsettled, as Yi Jingnian’s demeanor shifts from cold businessman to something more ominous. He takes her to a remote location in the mountains, where the lack of signal and his cryptic behavior heighten her fear. Their relationship remains a complex web of transactional obligation, hidden agendas, and underlying tension, with both characters concealing their true motives from one another.
