[CEO romance + one-on-one romance + sweet pampering + contract marriage + marriage first, love later]
[The heroine pretends to be a green tea, but is really a kept canary; career-minded and money-loving; the second male lead gets the girl + mildly absurd + devoted]
With a boyfriend who’s been cheating on her, Fu Manman is the pampered canary everyone in Shoujing envies. But even a little bird can grow tired and want to break free of its cage.
She’s caught her boyfriend of seven years, Shang Yuheng, cheating more than once...
On Fu Manman’s birthday, a mysterious hickey appears on her neck.
When Shang Yuheng questions her, Fu Manman holds up three fingers. “I swear to heaven, if I ever betray you, may fireworks blow me to pieces, and may I spend the rest of my life in a refugee camp.”

After falling into a river and being rescued, Fu Manman accidentally offers up her life force to a doll, bringing it back from the dead and triggering a contract with the doll...
After only a few meetings to fulfill the contract, Jiang Jingjiu launches a full-on pursuit:
“Now that you’ve kissed me, you have to take responsibility. Marry me!”
“I’ve got the best cosmetic treatments a man can offer, an ancestral commitment to good husbandly conduct, and a hereditary love-struck streak...”
After weighing it all up, Fu Manman accepts and enters into a contract marriage with him. The contract with the doll is sealed at the same time.
The wheels of fate begin to turn...

Only later does Fu Manman realize you can’t make a poisonous vow lightly. When her transgression comes to light, Shang Yuheng’s long-delayed revenge arrives. He straps Fu Manman into a modern battlefield. “I gave you my whole heart, and you didn’t want it. I spoiled you too much. It’s time you learned what real hardship feels like.”
A meteor shower fills the sky as Fu Manman runs for her life...
It's quite good-looking. I like the heroine who dares to love and hate, and is brave and generous. There is also a young male protagonist who has a sister-brother relationship.
