Pretending to Be Intimate

When a brilliant "human nature decoder" is forced to marry a business tycoon rumored to be cold and ruthless, a marriage that begins as a transaction gradually turns into a high-stakes contest of intellect and emotion. He is skilled at analyzing people's hearts, yet little by little, he finds himself unable to see the simple sincerity of the person beside him. Their interactions are more than emotional clashes: they are an attraction and contest between two exceptional minds, filled with wit and humor.

Solving each case deepens the protagonists' relationship while uncovering a greater conspiracy, keeping the plot fast-paced.

Fu Shenyan firmly believes that "all emotions can be quantified," until he meets Su Xiao and starts to doubt his formulas. Deep inside, he yearns for genuine affection, yet fears it too.

From struggling alone under the weight of a secret to learning to fight side by side with his partner, he ultimately finds both self-worth and emotional redemption.
