LOGINAriana Cole is called useless in her own home. Her stepmom and stepsister drug her and push her into the wrong hotel room to ruin her. Cold CEO Ethan Knight, the No.1 billionaire in the country, has also been drugged by his enemies. A waiter mixes the keys, and Ariana ends up in his room. She doesn't seduce him. She soaks herself in ice water to fight her own drug, argues with him rudely when he thinks she is a trap, and saves him with acupressure and an antidote. Then she disappears. Ethan searches the whole city for the rude girl with a butterfly tattoo. To avoid a forced marriage, they sign a 1-year contract marriage not knowing they already met that night. He thinks she is a gold-digger. She hides that she is secretly the boss of Starlight Corp, the No.2 company, plus a top hacker, designer, and doctor. What he doesn't know is that the Cole family is not her real family. Her real family, the richest Hartley family, has been searching for her for 22 years after she was swapped at birth. A wrong room brings them together. Will a contract keep them together?

And Rose, grandmother, 70s, soft smile, but eyes scanning. Ethan stood near window, black shirt, hands in pockets, cold as always. Ariana walked in. Rose stood first, smile warm. "You must be Ariana. I'm Rose. Welcome, dear." Victoria didn't stand. She looked Ariana up and down. "Jeans? You come to Knight Villa for first time in jeans?" Victoria said. Emma laughed.
