Synopsis

Xia Mo, who graduated from university, aspires to become a Hanfu blogger. Xia Mo's parents own a house in the city by the sea, and she decides to reclaim the property. The current tenant, Shen Junyao, is the CEO of a technology company, and he has installed a large amount of scientific research equipment in the house for the convenience of his work.

Xia Mo and Shen Junyao have had several discussions and reached an agreement to share the space. Xia Mo didn't expect that the upcoming company she's joining, "C Station," is under the same group as Shen Junyao's "Sitan Tech."

Living under the same roof, the two initially have a strained relationship, but fortunately, an intelligent robot named "Xing Guang" recognizes Xia Mo as its owner. Shen Junyao gradually discovers Xia Mo's charming qualities. At this time, Xia Mo's crush, Lin Heng, starts pursuing her. Shen Junyao also decides to pursue Xia Mo. He goes from borrowing people from C Station to participating in company team-building activities. Finally, Shen Junyao successfully wins Xia Mo's heart step by step. However, at this point, he learns that Lin Heng's affection for Xia Mo isn't genuine. Moreover, Lin Heng's true identity is significantly connected to the shadows of his own past experiences over the years...

Recap

Second Dimension Uploader Xia Mo received a C-site admission notice and went to Hai City. His phone was broken by Shen Junyao when he wanted to upload a theory with thousands of words. However, Shen Junyao coldly sent him away. Later, Xia Mo discovered that Shen Junyao is the tenant of his house. The two negotiated the issue of returning the house.

But the tabloid reporters shamelessly linked Xia Mo and Shen Junyao for marketing purposes. To protect the company's reputation, Shen Junyao and Xia Mo signed a contract to pretend to be a couple for three months. While Xia Mo was wandering around the room, he unexpectedly found a fully naked man. Xia Mo fell into endless imagination. Could Shen Junyao be a kidnapper?!

Xia Mo went to C-site for an interview, but unexpectedly, both the C-site and the behind-the-scenes chairman of Stan Technology are Shen Junyao's grandfathers. Shen Junyao worried that Xia Mo might change her mind, so he had her perform a quirky dance during the interview, which was then sent to his own phone. Xia Mo learned about this through her best friend Tang Jinxuan.

She found out that Shen Junyao had witnessed his parents' relationship breaking apart, which caused him to have extreme insecurity about love. Feeling sympathetic, she decided to spend the next three months with him. After receiving the quirky dance video, Shen Junyao was in a great mood and invited Xia Mo to have a French meal. Unfortunately, Xia Mo, who had never experienced such dining, made a complete fool of herself and was even forced to be Shen Junyao's driver.

Xia Mo's driving skills are worrying, almost causing an accident, and making herself dizzy from the motion. Unscrupulous reporters spread news about Xia Mo's morning sickness, damaging her reputation. After a big argument with Shen Junyao, Xia Mo decides to move out, but the words exchanged during the argument touched Shen Junyao's deep emotional scar.

Shen Junyao decides to activate the T9 robot Xing Guang and treats him as his "little brother" to make up for past regrets. Xia Mo learns that Shen Junyao is not a kidnapper and becomes curious about the robot Xing Guang. Upon finding out that Xing Guang sleeps with Shen Junyao, she couldn't help but be nosy, but Shen Junyao kicks her out of the room.

Xia Mo begins her career, but her department supervisor, who has an unrequited love for Shen Junyao, takes out his frustrations on her. Xia Mo suffers a lot from the torment of her new workplace. Unexpectedly, she learns that her ancient-style idol, Lin Heng, has returned to C-site. Lin Heng invites her to be in charge of filming related videos for him. The two of them have a great conversation and hit it off.

However, their conversation is interrupted by Shen Junyao's arrival. After Tang Jinxuan learns about this, she takes Xia Mo to celebrate at a rural farmhouse. Unexpectedly, a fire breaks out, but Shen Junyao and Xing Guang rush to the scene, and a crisis is imminent.

Shen Junyao once lost his younger brother in a fire due to his own cowardice. Determined not to let regrets repeat, he goes with Xing Guang to rescue Xia Mo from the fire. Xia Mo had already collapsed on the ground and was in a state of shock. Unaware of it, she learns that Xing Guang forcibly recognized her as his master in order to save her.

The next day, Xia Mo slowly regains consciousness, and Tang Jinxuan is by her side. She tells Xia Mo about how Shen Junyao and Xing Guang saved her. Xia Mo feels somewhat moved. At this moment, Shen Junyao comes to find her and expresses his wish for her to stay and spend more time with Xing Guang. Xia Mo agrees to try her best to be a good pretend couple for three months, and the two reach a resolution.

Shen Junyao officially announced his relationship with Xia Mo in a positive response. Xia Mo, who was at work, was unaware of this. Upon learning that Lin Heng was at C Station for a shoot, Xia Mo, while transferring files on the computer, went to the studio to see Lin Heng. The news of Shen Junyao's interview video also spread widely on C Station, and amidst the excitement and discussions among colleagues, they accidentally damaged Lin Heng's clothes. As a result, Xia Mo was pushed into the center of attention and had to go and mend Lin Heng's clothes.

At the same time, Xing Guang and Shen Junyao were on their way to C Station, searching anxiously for Xia Mo. However, when they found Xia Mo with Lin Heng, they couldn't help but feel jealous at their apparent compatibility and good looks.

In the shadow of the fire tragedy, Xia Mo had a nightmare. Upon learning about it, Shen Junyao hurriedly rushed to be with Xia Mo. She didn't dare to sleep alone, so Shen Junyao laid a mattress in Xia Mo's room and stayed with her until dawn. Xia Mo had a peaceful sleep that night, and it seemed like they both became more familiar with each other's presence, and there were no significant disagreements. They even reached a silent understanding on issues like breakfast. The next day, Shen Junyao mentioned that he would take Xia Mo to Shen Kun's villa in the evening to attend the monthly meeting of the group. He asked Xia Mo to take leave as soon as possible, and he would wait for her outside.

Xia Mo's fashion sense is average. Despite feeling a bit embarrassed about Shen Junyao's suggestion of dressing formally for a simple meal, Xia Mo readily took him to the pedestrian street. Instead of directly buying clothes, she got attracted to the street food and couldn't resist buying many snacks. She even symbolically wanted to feed Shen Junyao some of them. Surprisingly, he quite enjoyed the snacks, and in his joyful mood, he decided to gift Xia Mo a whole set of clothes. He tried several outfits, but none seemed right until a golden formal dress appeared. It instantly captured Shen Junyao's heart, and he immediately decided to wear that dress to meet his grandfather.

Shen Junyao brought Xia Mo to find Shen Kun. When Shen Kun first saw Xia Mo, he seemed to have a moment of recognition, as if seeing an acquaintance. He warmly invited Xia Mo to play chess with him. Despite Shen Kun's strong insistence, Shen Junyao and Xia Mo had to stay overnight. However, there was only one room, and it put both of them in a dilemma.

After taking a shower, Xia Mo felt awkward looking at the bed. Shen Junyao said he had work to do for the night, but just as he finished saying that, the villa's power was cut off by Shen Kun. Shen Junyao understood the situation well and had no choice but to accompany Xia Mo, who was afraid of the dark, to sleep on the same bed.

Shen Junyao understood that they were just a contractual couple, and he shouldn't have any other feelings. But why couldn't he control himself? He tried to restrain his wild thoughts, but when he heard that Xia Mo lost all the videos for the press conference, his immediate concern was whether Xia Mo would get scolded.

He hurried to the C Station company and faced Xia Mo's helpless yet stubborn eyes. Shen Junyao felt uneasy as well. Confronting the supervisor's unreasonable treatment towards Xia Mo, Shen Junyao didn't hold back and firmly stated that if they fired Xia Mo, the supervisor shouldn't expect to keep their job either.
