Emily Grant and Noah Harper are the male and female protagonists in the modern romance novel *Contract Marriage; Fated Love*. In this novel, the female protagonist, Emily Grant, is a 21 - year - old young girl who has endured great torment from fate. Not only does she have to face the coldness and betrayal of her family, but she is also betrayed by her fiancé on the verge of getting married, plunging her life into a desperate abyss. The male protagonist, Noah Harper, is the CEO of the powerful Blackwood Towers. With a cold and aloof appearance and a dominant personality, he exudes dignity and detachment in every gesture. Despite being the most eligible bachelor in the city, the deep - seated trauma in his heart makes him resistant to love and marriage. *Contract Marriage; Fated Love* tells the story of how the female protagonist, Emily, and the male protagonist, Noah, start from an accidental encounter, are forced into a contract marriage, gradually get closer amidst misunderstandings and entanglements, and finally find true love.
At the beginning of the story, Emily wakes up from the chaotic night she spent with Noah and is horrified to find that she has lost her virginity and is embroiled in a scandal with this powerful CEO. When Noah sees the news headline "Noah Harper, the Gay CEO of Blackwood Towers, in Bed with a Strange Woman", anger instantly consumes him. He is certain that Emily deliberately set up a scheme to frame him and is determined to find her and punish her severely.
At 37 Wales Street, Noah finds Emily being harassed by her family. Her pitiful appearance fails to evoke the slightest bit of pity in him; instead, it only fills him with anger. He roughly questions Emily, accuses her of the conspiracy, and then astonishingly demands that she marry him to salvage his damaged reputation. Emily is shocked and insists that she was drugged and is innocent, but Noah simply doesn't believe her.
At the same time, upon learning of the scandal between Emily and Noah, Emily's family is thrown into a panic. They had originally counted on her marrying into the Mason family to obtain wealth and status. Now that their plan has fallen through, they hurl abuse at her and force her to apologize to Jayden to fix the situation. Just then, Noah appears. In an authoritative tone, he orders Emily's family to stay away from her and then takes her away.
Back at home, Emily tries to explain her innocence to Noah again, but Noah still scoffs at her and only emphasizes the two - year marriage contract they have signed. The contract stipulates that Emily must obey his orders and not damage the image of him or his family. After two years, she must completely disappear from his life. In order to escape her painful family and obtain financial security, Emily finally signs this contract that will change her fate.
After that, they go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage. At the Civil Affairs Bureau, Noah jumps the queue by virtue of his power, which makes Emily dissatisfied and feel that he is abusing his power. After getting the marriage certificate, Emily's boss calls and fires her. However, Noah reminds her that the contract includes provisions for providing her with a job, which gives her some relief.
When going back home to pack her things, Jayden storms in, accusing them of ruining his plan and threatening to destroy the Grant family. Emily's family, however, distorts the truth and shifts all the blame onto her. At this critical moment, Noah appears again to come to Emily's rescue and takes her away from that home filled with painful memories.
In this contract marriage, their story has just begun. There are still more misunderstandings to be clarified and more emotions to be tempered in the future. Can they hold on to their original intentions in the complex disputes of the wealthy family and let this love born out of a contract bear fruit?
