"In a world where family legacy and corporate power reign supreme, Wang Yibo is torn between his ambition and his freedom. When his father proposes a marriage of convenience to secure a lucrative business deal, Yibo must choose between his dreams of...
"Son, do you remember that you're married?" Yibo's father asked over the phone. "What happened, Father?" Yibo replied. His father continued, "You've been married to this boy for two months now, but you haven't lived with him for a week. Xiao Zhan is a good kid, he's never complained about you, and what about our deal? Will you fulfill your end of the bargain until I hand over the CEO position to you? Won't you do the right thing?"
Yibo's father raised his voice, but Yibo remained silent until he finished speaking. Then, he responded, "Dad, this project is holding me back, and I need to solve the problem. I'll try my best to finish and come back. And Xiao Zhan, as you said, he's okay. We talked before I left." Yibo added with a hint of sarcasm, "And yes, Dad, I know I'm married. I know you won't let me forget."
Yibo's father chuckled over the phone, "Son, when will you come back?" Yibo took a deep breath before answering, "Dad, I can't say for sure now, but as soon as I finish, I'll try to come back immediately." His father replied, "Okay, Son. I love you, take care of yourself, and don't worry about your husband. I'll continue to take care of him." Yibo smiled, "I love you too, Dad." They exchanged goodbyes and hung up, still smiling.
After placing the phone on the couch, Wang Yibo's mom sat beside him, sipping orange juice. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you really going to live with that boy as your life partner?" Wang Yibo massaged his temples and replied, "Mom, please, that boy has a name - Xiao Zhan." He continued, "I don't know what the future holds, but right now, Xiao Zhan is my husband. You should accept that and respect him as your son-in-law."
His mom curved her mouth to the side and remained silent, shaking her leg as she continued drinking her juice. Wang Yibo studied her before changing the subject. "Mom, what about your marriage? We haven't heard anything." She snorted, "That man is a total jerk. I can't marry him." Wang Yibo grinned, "Mom, just give up and go back to Dad. You know he cares about you and still loves you. If you go back, everyone will be happier."
His mom looked at him, "Are you trying to convince me for your dad's sake?" Wang Yibo giggled, "No, Mom, I just want to see my family together." She shrugged her shoulders, "I'll think about it, but your father has to work for it. I won't give him another chance easily."
Just then, the door from the outside opened, and Wang Yibo's nieces, Wang Mei and Wang Fei, ran to him, hugging his body. He kissed their foreheads and listened as they excitedly told him about their trip to the park with their mom. After each of them had a turn sitting on his lap, Wang Yibo carried them to his room. He had come to Shanghai that morning to spend quality time with his family, whom he hadn't seen in a while.

"
Dad, I'm off to work," Xiao Zhan said to his father-in-law, Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang looked at him with concern, "How's your headache?" Xiao Zhan had returned home from work with a headache the previous night, but he had taken medicine and slept well, waking up feeling fine. He smiled reassuringly, "I'm okay, Dad. Thanks for taking care of me.
