Li Shuyu, a B-list actress, was hounded by scandals, dropped by her production team, and hit with a sky-high breach-of-contract fee. With nowhere else to turn, she remembered the man who had made her a ridiculous marriage proposal in a café:
“An arranged marriage. Eight million a year.”
She thought he was a scammer, but he turned out to be Jiang Ci, the CEO of the powerful Jiang Group.
Jiang Ci urgently needed a “wife” to inherit the family business, while Li Shuyu needed money and connections to make a comeback. A contract bound them together: affectionate spouses in public, strictly separate lives in private.
Until one day...
Jiang Ci pinned her against the makeup-room wall, brushing her lip with his fingertip. “My fiancée, what do we do if you get too deep into character?”
Li Shuyu’s ears turned red. “CEO Jiang, that’s not in the contract...”
“It is now.”
◆ Top-tier star CEO vs. B-list actress
◆ Pretend romance turns real / showbiz / sweet, indulgent romance
When the entire internet was accusing her of “sleeping her way to the top,” the Jiang Group’s official account posted their marriage certificate:
“Allow us to introduce Mrs. Jiang.”
(Contract marriage + showbiz face-slapping + two strong leads growing together. The hero is aloof and fiercely protective, the heroine is resilient and doesn’t flirt. One-on-one, both completely devoted to each other, sweet romance.)
It's still pretty good, but the whole romance thing is not that good.
