Cordelia, a junior clerk, posed as the real heiress to attend a matchmaking meeting with the CEO, Benedict. Though she intended to sabotage it, she inadvertently piqued his interest. Cordelia tried everything to make him dislike her, but the interference of the scheming Isolde only brought the two closer. Just as Benedict’s family began to accept her, her true identity was exposed. Instead of rejecting her, Benedict proposed a contract marriage. To save her comatose brother, Cordelia agreed, juggling her dual roles as Mrs. Shi and an ordinary clerk—while Benedict, unaware of the truth, found himself drawn to both versions of her. When Isolde falsely claimed to be the childhood savior Benedict had long searched for, he struggled to choose between them. Later, as Cordelia’s identity was exposed once again, the rise of Aldric to power triggered a crisis for the Bai Chuan Group. Together, Benedict and Cordelia navigated the turmoil, ultimately overcoming the challenges and earning the full acceptance of the Shi family.
