**Lin Xiaomo**, a 20-year-old top-tier junior programmer, joins **Xiao Technologies** for a summer internship, intending to focus solely on coding. However, she unexpectedly catches the attention of **Xiao Jinghan**, the domineering 33-year-old CEO. As the heir to an Eastern business empire, he is ruthless and wealthy, yet from the moment he lays eyes on her, an inexplicable emotion stirs within him. During the internship, Xiao Jinghan becomes increasingly captivated by her talent and stubbornness, though she remains completely unaware-until the start of the new semester, when a long-forgotten family betrothal places her under his control.
It turns out that Lin Xiaomo's ancestors had arranged a marriage pact with the Xiao family, and the elders view this intelligent young woman with great favor. However, she firmly rejects what she considers a **"feudal transaction."** But Xiao Jinghan refuses to let her escape. Upon learning of her resistance, his fury ignites, and he forcefully declares that she can only belong to him.
When her mother suddenly falls gravely ill, the overwhelming medical expenses become the final straw that breaks her resolve. Left with no choice, Lin Xiaomo agrees to marry Xiao Jinghan-but under one condition: the marriage must remain a secret. She continues her life as a university student, shuttling between the dormitory and his luxurious mansion, caught between two worlds.
