Young master Qin Ye of the Qin family suffers a severe motorcycle accident. At the critical moment when the vehicle is about to explode, a mysterious girl in a wedding dress, Dong Xiaoxiao, desperately rescues him. Although Dong Xiaoxiao is petite and mute, she resolutely carries the unconscious Qin Ye to the hospital on her back. Only after handing him over to the doctor does she collapse from exhaustion. Qin Ye wakes up on his hospital bed, facing stern urging from his father about family inheritance and the cost of his brother Qin Yu's disability. He then learns from a nurse about the touching story of his savior, the "mute bride."

During a car race, Qin Ye has an accident and is rescued and taken to the hospital by Dong Xiaoxiao, who is wearing a wedding dress. Upon waking, Qin Ye finds Dong Xiaoxiao bears a strong resemblance to someone from his past but suspects her identity due to her silence. In the hospital room, Qin Ye mistakenly believes Dong Xiaoxiao is a "mute" spy sent by his father to monitor or get close to him. He pressures her and verbally abuses her. Frightened, Dong Xiaoxiao pushes Qin Ye away and flees in a hurry, sparking Qin Ye's intense curiosity.

This episode tells the story of the female lead, Dong Xiaoxiao, who runs away from her wedding to avoid marrying the elderly and critically ill real estate tycoon, Mr. Yang. In the hospital corridor, Dong Xiaoxiao is intercepted by her father, Dong Sheng, and her sister, Dong Shuangshuang. Dong Sheng, coveting Mr. Yang's fortune, is willing to sacrifice his daughter's happiness. Dong Shuangshuang, on the other hand, feigns persuasion while actually instigating trouble. Dong Xiaoxiao exposes her sister's true nature in public and refuses to comply. Enraged, Dong Sheng immediately announces he is disowning Dong Xiaoxiao and cruelly orders bodyguards to break her legs, intending to imprison her for life as a "useless asset" for the Dong family's profit.

Qin Ye, the second young master of the Qin family, forcefully announces in the hospital corridor his intention to marry Dong Xiaoxiao, the eldest daughter of the Dong family, who is bullied by everyone. Faced with Dong Sheng's disdain for her "mute" identity and Dong Shuangshuang's self-recommendation, Qin Ye remains unwavering. He uses the Qin Group's capital injection into the Dong Corporation as leverage to strike a marriage alliance. Despite his weak physical condition requiring rest, Qin Ye insists on taking Dong Xiaoxiao away that very night, marking the beginning of their contractual marriage.

Young master Qin Ye of the Qin family returns home injured late at night, causing worry for the old butler and concern from his elder brother, Qin Yu. Facing Qin Yu's "guilt" over his inability to shoulder the family business due to his disability, Qin Ye firmly declares he will support the Qin family through a marriage alliance, specifically requesting to marry Dong Xiaoxiao, the eldest daughter of the Dong family. Meanwhile, Dong Sheng, the patriarch of the Dong family, is heading to the Qin family with Dong Xiaoxiao. In the car, he sheds his hypocritical facade and uses the gravesite of Dong Xiaoxiao's deceased mother, Lin Shuqin, as leverage, forcing Dong Xiaoxiao to ensure the Qin family invests, treating his daughter as a tool to save their family business.

Qin Ye personally drives to pick up Dong Xiaoxiao. Dong Xiaoxiao's father, Dong Sheng, attempts to curry favor but is publicly humiliated by Qin Ye as "disgusting." Qin Ye霸气 declares that Dong Xiaoxiao is now part of the Qin family and warns Dong Sheng and other outsiders not to interfere. Afterward, Qin Ye takes Xiaoxiao back to his residence. Facing Xiaoxiao, who has been communicating through sign language, Qin Ye intentionally presses forward to tease her, provoking Xiaoxiao to angrily call him a "scoundrel" in sign language out of shame and anger. Qin Ye realizes the communication difficulties and decides to learn sign language, then asks Xiaoxiao to review materials related to the investigation of his mother's death.

To investigate the cause of her mother Lin Shuqin's death, Dong Xiaoxiao agrees to a contractual marriage with Qin Ye, the CEO of Qin Corporation. The two engage in a negotiation over their post-nuptial agreement. Qin Ye proposes that he needs to stabilize the board of directors through his "married" status and requests Dong Xiaoxiao to cooperate with marital acts within reasonable limits. Although wary, Dong Xiaoxiao ultimately agrees to the deal in order to enter the Qin family and uncover the truth. In front of the Qin family, Qin Ye helps establish Dong Xiaoxiao's identity as "Second Young Mistress Qin" by carrying her upstairs and promises to protect her. While touched, Dong Xiaoxiao constantly reminds herself to stay clear-headed, vowing to bring the murderer of her mother to justice.
