[Beautiful, fussy drama queen x stern, celibate older man who breaks his vows]
After secretly loving her senior for two years, Zhong Siyao gets drunk on the very day she plans to confess and accidentally climbs into the car of Fu Jingsnian, the head of the Fu family.
The next day, paparazzi publish photos of the two looking “intimate.” To save face for their families, both sides are forced to announce that the pair are engaged.
Zhong Siyao puffs out her cheeks and forcibly hooks her little finger around his. “Let’s agree on three rules: a year from now, we’ll announce that we’re ending this marriage, and we won’t interfere in each other’s lives.”
Fu Jingsnian says nothing.
Every few days, Fu Jingsnian catches Zhong Siyao, who’s been out roaming the bars, and brings her home.
“You’re not allowed to go to bars.”
“You have to be home before ten.”
“And stop batting your eyes at that senior of yours.”
“You old, stuffy man!” Zhong Siyao is stubborn by nature and makes a point of defying him.
Fu Jingsnian makes a call to her school, and Zhong Siyao spends the night in tears, rewriting her thesis. “Fu Jingsnian, I want to end our engagement. Right now, immediately!”
The man takes off his gold-rimmed glasses and silences his fiancée’s endless chatter with a kiss. “Yaoyao, don’t say silly things.”
Later, when her senior learns that her engagement is fake, he comes forward to confess his feelings.
Fu Jingsnian pins Zhong Siyao on his lap. Rubbing her aching waist, she tells her senior, “I’m sorry. My husband gets jealous.”
