TangShi is a girl without much luck in the world. Despised by her father after her mother died giving birth to her, she has grown up in a cold and unloving environment and is hated by her stepmother.
Blamed for things she could never control and treated as an outcast by her own blood. Forced to come home after finally escaping to school on a self-achieved scholarship abroad, she is promised to the son of the Leng family. To create a beneficial business alliance to further her own father's greed in the corporate world.
Only YuZhi Leng is as unwilling as she is, with a girlfriend already in place that he adores and no desire to honor the contract put in place - to produce an heir in the first year of marriage and solidify the two families union. TangShi must bear living as a third wheel in this unwanted life and accept or be thrown aside by her family.
Until upon meeting, she realizes that YuZhi may not be the stranger to her she thought he was and recognizes him on sight.
Could he be the man she met eight years ago at a masked ball, who swept her off her feet and made her feel alive, and yet left her heartbroken that fateful night?

TangShi Lei stared hopelessly at the paper in her trembling hands, a tear escaping with silent despair. It slid across her delicate pale cheek as she stifled the sob which caught in her throat, burning painfully. Her heart and soul shredded as though a million sharp blades were piercing every inch of her body, and she knew that her new life was about to end before it had even begun.
She'd finally escaped the cold and miserable existence back home in Shanghai. From her cruel father and hateful stepmother and sister, now here she was, being summoned home like an object which had no will of her own. To fulfill the role her father placed on her as the family prize, to be sold to the highest bidder. A marriage alliance for the benefit of Lei Enterprise, her family’s conglomerate.
Her body gave out as her knees weakened, shivering, and she slumped down onto the sofa behind her. It saved her from a complete fall, as her tears began to drip quickly. Her heart broke in two. The agony of knowing she was so close and yet never stood a chance of ever being free, and now he had new ways to call her to heel. She could never escape the responsibility of being the eldest daughter of the Lei family and what weight that held, even if he had never treated her as his child.
