share time: 2025-12-10 06:01:42

Su Xiao, a young professional in urgent need of money for her brother’s surgery, signs a one-year contract marriage with CEO Gu Chuan—pretending to be a couple just to satisfy his grandmother’s marriage urges. As they live together, Gu’s quiet tenderness slowly touches Su’s heart, while Su’s sincerity thaws Gu’s icy heart. But on the contract expiry day, Gu insists on terminating it and avoids her. When Su packs her things, she stumbles upon Gu’s hidden cancer diagnosis—he knew he had limited time left and chose to let go to not burden her. Rushing to the hospital with the report, she finds Gu leaning against the corridor wall, smiling weakly: “Sorry, I couldn’t resist wanting to see you one more time.”
