Gu Zhao, the regent who holds absolute power in the Great Xia Dynasty, carries a blood feud—his family was framed and wiped out by the royal family ten years ago. He has endured and plotted just to overthrow the imperial power. Su Wan, daughter of the prime minister, is used as a pawn by her father and marries into the regent's palace as a "contract wife" to spy on Gu Zhao's rebellion plans. They each have their own agendas: Gu Zhao uses Su Wan to check the prime minister, while Su Wan plants spies around him. However, in their interactions, she finds this "cold-blooded minister" would secretly block poisoned wine for her and give her favorite osmanthus cake on her birthday. When Su Wan discovers Gu Zhao's revenge plan, she struggles—should she expose him for her family or stay with him through the thorny path? Yet Gu Zhao, who has long known her identity, still reveals his vulnerability: "I'm not afraid of being spurned by thousands, but I'm afraid you'll hate me." When the royal family's butcher knife approaches and the prime minister's schemes are exposed, can this "fake couple" break the contract and become each other's final light?
