After five years in a marriage of convenience, her husband, Gu Beichen, suddenly asks Zhou Shuyao to have a child with him.
Zhou Shuyao is overjoyed, thinking that her five years of devotion have finally paid off.
A week later, she takes her pregnancy test results to the company, planning to share the good news with her husband.
But in the conference room, she overhears him joking with his ex-girlfriend and the company's shareholders.
“Ruofei, your plan worked like a charm. Ever since she got pregnant, my luck has really improved!”
Tian Ruofei holds a glass of champagne and gazes at Gu Beichen with a sly smile.
“One last step remains. Once the baby is born and we confirm it isn't yours, the ritual will truly be complete.”
Gu Beichen gives a soft laugh. “How could it possibly be mine?”
