A business marriage binds Xu Zhixia to Gu Yanzhi, her childhood friend and the boy next door. On their wedding night, he's cool and self-possessed, while she only wants them to treat each other with polite respect.
She forgets her pajamas, and his ears turn red. She puts on the “rag” of a nightdress her best friend gave her, and he flees in a panic. A wallpaper of an unfamiliar man on her phone is enough to make him stew with jealousy all day. But when Xu Zhixia joins Gu Group with a design project, Gu Yanzhi's self-persuasion officially begins. From parading around the house in a deep-V bathrobe to making an anonymous account online to ask, “How can I make my wife fall for me even more?”, Mr. Gu swings between “confidence” and jealousy, growing more childish by the day. Xu Zhixia just thinks her CEO husband is moody and impossible to deal with, completely unaware that she is the center of every emotional storm he has. Until one day, watching her sleep beside him, Gu Yanzhi finally panics as he realizes the truth: he's not trying to preserve the dignity of their arranged marriage. He's actually fallen in love with her. This is a sweet Marriage Before Love story about a cold CEO who talks himself into love, clumsily falling for his wife step by step until they finally find their way to each other.
