At the moment of despair when her love shattered, the gears of fate quietly turned, drawing the ordinary girl Jessica into the tempestuous waves of the wealthy world.
It was supposed to be Jessica's big day with her high - school sweetheart, Burke. She waited eagerly in front of the courthouse, filled with dreams of a happy future. However, a phone call from Burke was like a bombshell, shattering her dreams mercilessly. Burke confessed that he didn't love her enough to marry her, and Jessica even discovered that he was having an affair with her best friend, Emma. Struck by this huge blow, Jessica's heart broke into countless pieces. Tears streamed down her face, and her world instantly crumbled.
Just as she was drowning in the abyss of pain, the voice of a strange man reached her ears. It turned out that this man named Xavier was facing a crisis as his grandfather was critically ill. His grandfather hoped to see him married before passing away. In order to inherit the family business, Xavier had signed a contract marriage with a wedding agency, but the bride disappeared at the crucial moment.
Desperate, Xavier urgently needed a wife. Jessica, who had just been abandoned by her fiancé, heard about his plight. Perhaps out of despair over love or a desire to give herself a new start, she resolutely proposed marriage to Xavier. Xavier looked at this girl with a messy makeup but determined eyes, a strange feeling welled up in his heart. Eventually, they got married in a hurry at the courthouse and became a couple of strangers.
After the marriage, Jessica was shocked to find out that her husband was the heir of the wealthy Braxton Industries. She had transformed from an ordinary assistant chef to a member of the rich overnight. However, this sudden change in status didn't bring her much joy; the pain in her heart still lingered.
When they went to the hospital to tell Xavier's grandfather, Dawson, the news of their marriage, Dawson's warmth and kindness made Jessica feel the long - lost warmth. Dawson seemed to like this sudden - appearing granddaughter - in - law very much. He entrusted Jessica to take good care of Xavier, and Jessica was unconsciously touched by this trust.
In Xavier's mansion, Jessica began to adapt to the new life. But the relationship between her and Xavier was full of uncertainties and challenges. Xavier made it clear that their marriage was just a contract. He didn't need a romantic relationship. They would divorce amicably after one year, and he would compensate her accordingly. Jessica, on the other hand, hoped that they could get along well and become friends during this year.
In the trivialities of life, conflicts between the two gradually emerged. Xavier didn't want Jessica to continue working outside. He thought it didn't match his status and proposed to find her a better job opportunity or help her start a business, which left Jessica, who loved working in the kitchen, confused.
At the same time, Burke learned that Jessica had married Xavier and called to question her. This reopened the wound in Jessica's heart. She angrily accused Burke of his betrayal and resolutely cut off contact with him. However, the reluctance in her heart for this relationship still made her suffer.
When visiting Dawson in the hospital, out of kindness, Jessica bought him the hamburger and Coke he wanted, but was severely reprimanded by Xavier. The aggrieved Jessica couldn't help but retort, and the conflict between the two suddenly intensified. Seeing this, Dawson asked Xavier to apologize to Jessica, which also made Xavier start to reflect on his behavior.
