Her boyfriend of eleven years, an award-winning actor, cheats on her. His mistress drugs her drink, and as Xiu Yufei flees, she accidentally stumbles into the room of Zhou Shaohao, a notorious playboy.
Because she looks just like the woman Zhou has always loved but could never have, Zhou Shaohao risks his life to save her.
Two brokenhearted people enter into a contract marriage, but by the time she realizes she's nothing more than his substitute lover, Xiu Yufei has already fallen for his refined, considerate nature.
When she learns the truth, Xiu Yufei leaves heartbroken. To her surprise, Mr. Zhou goes completely crazy...
Excerpt from the book:
“Madam, you must be hungry. Dinner's ready,” Aunt Zhou says with a warm, kindly smile.
Xiu Yufei looks around again. Who are they talking to?
Unable to stand the woman's clueless expression, Zhou Shaohao says, “Aunt Zhou is talking to you, Miss Xiu. It's rude not to respond when someone greets you.”
Xiu Yufei is stepping down the stairs when Zhou Shaohao's words startle her. Her foot misses a step, and she tumbles forward. The young master Zhou catches her around the waist and pulls her safely back.
In a good mood, he arches a brow and smiles. “That surprised?”
Xiu Yufei is ready to curse. Seriously? We've only just met. She counts on her fingers: one, two, three, four. Oh, right, I've only seen you four times, and now your staff is calling me madam? Mr. Zhou, Young Master Zhou, is this what your servants call every woman you bring home? If several of them run into each other, what will the staff call them?
She can't help imagining a scene from TV, with the butler obsequiously calling out, “First Madam, Second Madam, Third Madam...”
Since she arrived late, wouldn't that make her... hmm, Madam Number Fifty?
She's mortified.
