In 1930s Shanghai, Xu Yuwei, the formidable leader of the Qilin Gang, falls into the hands of her arch-nemesis, Chu Zichen. Faced with a life-or-death choice, she refuses to yield. The scene then shifts to the present day, where Xu Yuwei returns reborn with memories of her past life. Chu Zichen, the second young master of the Chu family, is furious about the arranged "childhood engagement" and defiantly declares his refusal to marry in the living room, even threatening self-castration to end the Chu family line. However, when Xu Yuwei appears before him in stunning fashion, Chu Zichen is instantly captivated by her beauty. Xu Yuwei calmly uses her past life's knowledge of Chu Zichen to precisely expose his involuntary physiological reactions of love at first sight. She then proposes a "contract marriage" for three years, aiming to exchange resources and escape the elders' pressure to marry.
