Su Qian, an orphan, was raised by her uncle’s family from a young age. To repay the gambling debt her uncle owed to Lin Tingchen, the young master of the Lin family, Su Qian signed a "body sale contract" and became Lin Tingchen’s contractual girlfriend.
Madam Lin (Lin Tingchen’s grandmother) had never favored Lin Tingchen’s official girlfriend, Jian Yan; instead, she took a strong liking to Su Qian. Having thus become a thorn in Jian Yan’s side, Su Qian was unwittingly drawn into a conspiracy: Jian Yan, in collusion with Han Yue (the young master of the Han family), planned to seize the Lin family’s assets.
