share time: 2026-02-12 06:00:39

Lin Zhan, a retired special forces soldier once hailed as the "God of War," uses up all his savings to save his comrade's orphaned child. Desperate, he's "bought" by Su Wan, a wealthy heiress, to be her "contract husband"—Su Wan needs to fend off her family's marriage pressure, while Lin Zhan needs money for the child's treatment. But Su Wan never expects this "soft-rice husband" to defuse business schemes with his special ops skills, and Lin Zhan is surprised when the cold Su Wan secretly brings him congee after he stays up caring for the child. As the child's condition worsens and Su Wan's family uncovers their contract, their transactional relationship starts to crack—he takes a retaliation hit for her, she sells her jewelry for him. Is this still about mutual benefit, or have they already fallen in love?
