[Overbearing CEO + substitute bride + secret identities + devoted only to each other + mutual pining. A powerful heroine who plays the pig to eat the tiger vs. a hero who starts out repressed and later goes off the rails]
On their wedding day, Si Yao’s groom ran away with another woman.
She waited two years at the Bo family’s home, hoping Bo Chuan would change his mind, and became famous in their circle as a shameless doormat.
Spectators bet that a beauty as stunning as her would surely have an affair.
But Si Yao worked diligently as an assistant to Bo Chuan’s uncle, all to help her useless husband secure his footing.
She worked year-round without a break and had no time to find a man.
Even Bo, the scumbag himself, was gradually moved by her sincerity. He said proudly, “My Yaoyao is the best wife in the world. I’m the only one in her heart!”
Little did he know that inside the Bo family estate, Si Yao was being sternly lectured by a jealous “other man”: “Yaoyao, when are you finally going to tell everyone that I’m your legally wedded husband?”
