At a pool party, protagonist Emily Getty was publicly humiliated by her boss, Thomas Wilder, whom she had secretly loved for ten years. To please his fiancée, Linda, Thomas cruelly ordered Emily to jump into the icy pool to retrieve a gift, and disdainfully called her merely an "adopted daughter." Emily's adopted brother, Bill, tried to defend her but was stopped. This incident completely broke Emily's heart, and she decided to end this relationship. Later, Emily, alone and heartbroken at a bar, met the mysterious Lyle Roberts. Amidst despair and self-doubt, she questioned Lyle and unexpectedly kissed him, hinting at a new turning point in her life.

Female lead Emily Getty had a one-night stand with male lead Lyle Roberts. The next morning, Emily regretted her drunken actions and apologized. Meanwhile, Lyle revealed that he is the new CEO of the Roberts Group. He worried that if the incident were exposed, it would damage his company's and personal reputation. To control the situation, Lyle proposed an unexpected solution to a shocked Emily—to marry her, setting the stage for a future contractual marriage.

To tackle the negative press and a board trust crisis immediately after taking over the company, male lead Lyle Roberts proposed a shotgun marriage to female lead Emily Getty. Emily, feeling inferior as she was merely an adopted daughter of the Getty family, believed she wasn't worthy of Lyle. However, after Lyle insisted his family didn't care about her background, Emily resolutely agreed and accepted the proposal to marry that very day. The episode concludes with Lyle intimately tidying Emily's clothes, declaring his "husband's responsibility," an act that swiftly solidified their new relationship.

She hesitates when Lyle wants to post a photo of them together on social media. Just then, Emily receives a call from Bill, learning about the conflict between her brother and Thomas. She decides to rush there immediately to handle the situation, while Lyle voluntarily offers to accompany her, showing concern that goes beyond their contractual agreement.

Emily's adopted brother, Bill, was injured in a fight, and Emily came to check on him. At this moment, Lyle Roberts, CEO of the Roberts Group, unexpectedly appeared and announced to a shocked Bill that he had married Emily, thus becoming Bill's brother-in-law. Bill found this hard to believe. He suspected that Emily, hurt by her former crush, Thomas, had impulsively married Lyle, whom she had only known for a few days, out of a desire for revenge. After Emily clarified her true feelings to Lyle, Lyle finally revealed a shocking secret: he had secretly loved Emily for ten years, leaving both Emily and Bill utterly stunned.
