After three loveless years of marriage, Edith files for divorce—only to learn the “pregnancy scandal” was a massive misunderstanding.

Edith wakes up in the hospital with a concussion, needing her husband Nolan's signature to be discharged. However, her calls to Nolan only go to voicemail. To her shock, she then witnesses Nolan, a firefighter, rushing into the hospital with another woman, Nancy, who has a suggestive expression. Edith chases after Nolan and speaks to him, but he coldly dismisses her, stating, "You're just a contract wife." This breaks her heart and reveals the unusual nature of their marital relationship.

This episode reveals the origins of the protagonists Edith and Nolan's marriage through a cross-narrative between the present and the past (three years ago). Three years ago, to continue being a firefighter and avoid taking over the family business, Nolan entered into a platonic, loveless, and emotionless contract marriage with the financially struggling Edith, mistakenly believing she married him for money. However, in the present, Edith, suffering from a head injury, reveals her lifelong secret love for Nolan through internal monologue. At the end of the episode, Edith takes the initiative to break the contract and kisses Nolan in the bathroom upon his return home, leaving a cliffhanger for their relationship's development.

The episode opens with Edith, in an intimate moment with her husband Nolan, humbly asking to have a child with him, attempting to transform their contractual marriage into genuine affection. However, Nolan, a fire captain, coldly rejects her, citing their "no love, no sex" contract and interrupting her. He boasts about saving Nancy from a rescue, indifferent to Edith's attempt to recount an accident at a cafe. It's only when his colleague Frankie informs him at the fire station that his wife Edith was injured in yesterday's cafe explosion that Nolan is shocked into recalling Edith's unspoken words, setting up a suspenseful plot twist.

This episode follows male lead Nolan forcing his contracted wife Edith to visit Nancy, the widow of his deceased colleague. At the hospital, Nancy flaunts her supposed pregnancy with Nolan's child to Edith, dealing a severe emotional blow. However, the plot takes a turn when a doctor appears and discusses prenatal check-ups with Edith, revealing that Edith is the pregnant woman in the hospital records. Still unaware of the truth, Edith sinks into deep despair, believing Nolan would rather have a child with someone else than with her.

The female protagonist, Edith, arrives at the fire station looking for her husband, Fire Captain Nolan. Nolan's colleague, Frankie, greets her and becomes interested in her, giving her a tour of the station. When Nolan appears, he is shocked to find Edith alive, as he believed she had died in the previous day's explosion. However, Edith coldly serves him divorce papers, leaving both Nolan and Frankie stunned.
