Lu Yuxi and Xu Songan, four years her senior, grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. The Lu and Xu families had always been close, and after Lu Yuxi graduated, the elders decided to arrange a marriage. Unexpectedly, Lu Yuxi went straight to work at the local TV station, while Xu Songan stayed in Yancheng, systematically taking over the family business. Since their cities were thousands of kilometers apart, the marriage proposal fell through. Two years later, Lu Yuxi returned to Yancheng to join the headquarters. Her first act was to attend a welcoming banquet her family had prepared for her. Little did she know, it was actually a blind date arranged by her husband, Lu. Unable to escape the temptation, Lu Yuxi approached Xu Songan and asked if their arranged marriage was still valid. A flicker of surprise crossed Xu Songan's eyes, and he didn't answer immediately. Instead, he asked, "Do you really want to marry me?" Lu Yuxi nodded without hesitation.

She improved her culinary skills to soothe his stomach, took him to see the best ophthalmologist, and gently comforted him when he had nightmares... Their relationship grew closer, but a series of unspeakable events occurred at home. First, her underwear mysteriously disappeared. Then, she would wake up in the middle of the night and hear faint, suppressed breathing. She suspected the house was haunted. Shen Helin looked at her with his foggy, lifeless eyes: "If you're scared, I'll sleep under your bed and watch over you." His half-hearted touches weren't enough; only by getting closer could he soothe his burning desire. He had originally planned to formally confess his feelings to Wen Ran after regaining his sight, but after returning home with his eyes healed, she was gone. He searched for her frantically.
