This is a sweet, romantic short drama about a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love. Eleanor, whose intelligence remains at the level of an eight-year-old, has endured years of abuse from her stepmother and younger sister, Winnie. She was supposed to marry wealthy tycoon Sullivan as per her father's command, but on the eve of the wedding, she was pushed into a swimming pool by her jealous sister Winnie. Winnie took her place in Sullivan’s wedding car, while Eleanor, unconscious after falling into the water, was accidentally rescued by Grayson Randolph, a powerful heir posing as a disabled man. Mistakenly boarding Grayson’s wedding vehicle, Eleanor ended up marrying him instead of Winnie. For three years, Grayson had deliberately pretended to be paralyzed from the waist down, fooling his scheming father and half-brother Green, who sought to seize control of the family empire. At first, he believed his wife was merely a pawn sent by his father—Winnie—and remained highly guarded, even forcing Eleanor to wear a mask and imposing strict rules on their interactions. But as they spent more time together, he was gradually won over by her pure, kind-hearted nature: all she wanted was endless pastries; she felt genuine concern for his "injury" and offered to massage his legs; when he was locked inside a terrifying dark room, she risked injury to escape through a window, catching fireflies to light the darkness and quietly waiting outside to comfort him. Grayson slowly realized the woman before him wasn’t Winnie. After uncovering the truth, he learned she was Eleanor—the girl who had suffered relentless cruelty from her own family. All along, Eleanor had mistakenly believed she married Sullivan. Grayson carefully protected her, giving her a stable home, building her a swing, and introducing her to the world beyond the walls. Meanwhile, Winnie, who had taken Eleanor’s place in the wealthy family, found life far from easy. Sullivan married her only for an heir, reducing her to a mere breeding tool, subjecting her to coldness and torment. Overwhelmed with regret, she lived in constant remorse. Later, during a chance encounter at a business event, Winnie tried every trick to humiliate Eleanor. In front of everyone, Grayson removed his disguise, revealing his healthy legs to shield Eleanor. Finally, Eleanor learned the full truth behind her mistaken marriage—but chose to stay with Grayson, the one who had truly loved and cared for her. As family conflicts intensified, Green repeatedly plotted against Grayson, conspiring with maids to steal confidential corporate documents and undermine him. Even Grayson’s grandmother initially mistook Eleanor for a spy and treated her with hostility. Yet Grayson stood unwaveringly by Eleanor, trusting her completely. He systematically dismantled his father’s and brother’s schemes, ultimately bringing Green to justice. With love as their foundation, Eleanor underwent neural therapy and gradually regained her cognitive abilities. Her long-suppressed talent for painting finally emerged, and Grayson arranged a solo art exhibition for her. When her selfish father Harrison and stepmother Caroline arrived, eager to claim the glory, and the fallen Winnie showed up to stir trouble, all the lies and betrayals were exposed in public. The Carter family was forced to relinquish all inheritance rights. Winnie was trapped in her own prison, paying the price for her greed and cruelty. Eleanor fully left her dark past behind, regaining both mental clarity and emotional wholeness. Grayson proposed to her once again, and the two held a true wedding in a church—each healing the other, finding redemption and a sweet, fulfilling ending.
