Lin Chuan failed the CEO's secretary interview for being "too straightforward", but downstairs he saw CEO Su Wanqing's daughter Xiaotang being dragged by strangers. He saved the kid despite getting beaten—leading Su to offer him a deal: she needed a "nominal husband" to fight her ex-husband's custody claim that she "lacked a stable family". Lin wanted to refuse, but Xiaotang hugging his neck and calling him "Daddy" softened his heart. As he learned to braid Xiaotang's hair and stay up late with Su working overtime, the fake marriage's warmth slowly blurred the line of their agreement. Yet just then, the ex-husband showed evidence of Lin "getting paid for the fake marriage" to expose the "scam". Watching Lin shield Xiaotang with his body, Su suddenly couldn't tell if she feared losing custody… or losing him.
