[Long-planned scheme + old love rekindled + unrequited love turns mutual + wealthy family]
The night before her engagement, Lin Qitang discovers her fiancé is cheating on her.
She gets drunk at a bar and falls into the arms of her fiancé’s uncle, Xue Wangyan, then proceeds to offend him.
Within a day, her engagement is called off and the scumbag marries someone else. Within a week, Lin Qitang walks out of the civil affairs bureau with a marriage certificate in hand.
That’s part of being responsible, too.
She looks at Xue Wangyan beside her.
Is this really moving at the right speed?

After a news scandal, Third Master Xue is forced to announce that he’s married.
Everyone assumes he married someone he doesn’t love.
But from that day on, the refined, chaste Third Master Xue starts posting on his social media with unusual frequency.
Their hands, wedding bands together: “My wife and me.”
A blurred view of a woman from behind: “My wife came to pick me up.”
A tiny wildflower in his palm: “A gift from my wife.”
“My wife…”
The old flame is rekindled with an almost embarrassingly innocent fervor.

Her former fiancé, Xue Chengze, keeps waiting for Lin Qitang to change her mind.
When Lin Qitang says she’s married, Xue Chengze doesn’t believe her.
When she says she married his uncle, he scoffs.
That is, until he swallows his pride, takes a ring, brings reporters, and declares his love for her in the street, kneeling to propose.
A pair of men’s leather shoes appear in his line of sight, followed by long legs clad in a suit.
Xue Wangyan, his phoenix eyes cold. He had planned for this all along and swiftly won Lin Qitang over.
Now his voice is icy.
“Proposing to your aunt by marriage? Xue Chengze, where’s your sense of decency?”
