The 1990s: After Our Fake Marriage, the Hong Kong Tycoon Refused to Divorce

Contract marriage, marriage first and love later, devoted husband, putting the villains in their place, criminal investigations.

Zhou Weiran transmigrates to Hong Kong in the 1990s and always assumes she’s single, until one day, while investigating a case, she discovers she’s actually married.

And her husband, once a mainland man who used a sham marriage to stay in Hong Kong two years ago, has become Huo Lingxiao, the sought-after CEO of the Huo Group.

Zhou Weiran looks at the handsome, distinguished yet cold and distant man before her, as untouchable as a flower on a high peak.

“Mr. Huo, I’d like to talk to you about getting a divorce.”

Huo Lingxiao hands Zhou Weiran a contract.

“Perfect timing. I have a three-year marriage contract I’d like to discuss with you.”

The contract offers such generous compensation that Zhou Weiran is tempted.

During their contract marriage, Zhou Weiran’s police career flourishes, while Huo Lingxiao’s subordinates live in constant fear.

One subordinate says, “Boss, if Madam keeps investigating, she’ll soon be looking into us.”

The love-struck man replies, “What do you know? She’s abusing her authority to come see me.”

When their three-year agreement ends, Zhou Weiran, now an inspector, takes special leave to divorce Huo Lingxiao.

Huo Lingxiao gets down on one knee and presents her with a contract. “Honey, I want to renew our agreement.”

“The term is forever, and the betrothal gift is the entire Huo Group.”
