On the day of the marriage registration, Lena, his girlfriend after three years of dating, tore up the documents at the city hall entrance, publicly breaking up with programmer Ethan, despising him as "earning twelve million a year but never achieving anything in his life." Ethan then turned around and accepted Sofia, the group's CEO, request for a "contract marriage," with the condition that they divorce after six months as long as he didn't work overtime. On his first day at work, Sofia announced her husband status at his desk, shocking the entire group. As the Derrick family's hostile takeover intensified and business battles escalated, Ethan's true identity gradually came to light—he was not only a world-class hacker but also the legendary yet never publicly appearing stock god "Carl" in the financial world, the behind-the-scenes mastermind of Star Ocean Investment Group. In the end, he took action to counter Brown at the board meeting and, through their interactions, turned the fake marriage into genuine love, evolving from a contract to heartfelt commitment.
