Synopsis
Singapore. Event planner Lin Enxi is out of options: her mother's beloved old restaurant is drowning in debt, and the creditors are at the door. CEO Lu Zeming has a deadline of his own — his grandfather's will gives him one year to marry or lose control of the shipping and hotel empire he runs. Their solution is a one-year contract marriage with one rule written at the top: no falling in love. Then, at the first family dinner after the signing, the grandfather raises the stakes in front of everyone: no child within the year, and the contract is void — control passes to the scheming cousin. With an ex-boyfriend resurfacing and the cousin leaking the contract's secrets, the fake couple must survive banquets, boardrooms and family inquisitions side by side. Every crisis they fix together breaks the first rule a little more, until both must decide what the contract was really for — and whether either of them still wants it to expire.
新加坡，酒店活动策划林恩熙为救母亲欠债的老字号餐厅走投无路；海运与酒店集团CEO陆则明被祖父遗嘱逼婚：一年内不成婚，便失去控股权。两人签下一年契约婚姻，第一条便是不得动心。然而签约后首场家族晚宴，祖父当众加码：一年内没有孩子，契约自动作废，控股权归堂弟。前男友与堂弟联手搅局，契约底细屡屡外泄——假夫妻被迫在晚宴、饭局与董事会之间并肩作战，也一步步把假戏演成了真心。
Chapter 1: Terms at the Contract Table
The night rain in Singapore carried a salt taste as it lashed against the glass doors of the back kitchen at “Old Lin’s.” Lin Enxi stood in a corner of the restaurant, her phone clutched in her hand, the screen glowing with a collection notice from the bank. Outside, the creditor’s voice came through the glass, coarse as sandpaper dragged across a tabletop. Zhou Xiulan moved briskly at the stove, firelight catching in the streaks of white hair at her temples. This old establishment had held out for half a lifetime, yet now it couldn’t even scrape together next month’s rent. Lin Enxi drew a deep breath, smoothed down the corner of her clothes where the rain had seeped through, and pushed open the side door.
The rain had grown heavier. Neon lights shattered into splotches of gaudy grime on the waterlogged pavement. She had barely taken a single step when a black sedan glided to a stop on the curb without a sound. The door opened, and Lu Zeming stepped out, a black umbrella in his hand. The canopy shielded his expression, leaving only his cold, sharp jawline visible. In the other hand he held a sheaf of documents, rainwater dripping from the umbrella’s ribs to tap a staccato rhythm against the asphalt.
Lu Zeming walked up to her and held out the documents.
Lin Enxi didn’t take them right away. She stared at the line of gold-embossed lettering on the cover. Her fingertips had gone cold, rainwater seeping down her sleeve and into the spaces between her fingers. Lu Zeming looked at her, his voice even, carrying no detectable shift in emotion.
