[Flash marriage + love after marriage + 8-year age gap + sweet romance + adorable pets]
Twenty-two-year-old Yu Xi was set up to marry Yan Tingchen, the richest man in Jingzhou.
They had been married for six months, and he had spent all six away on business trips.
Their sham marriage was held together by a one-sided contract:
"Party A may add clauses at any time. Party A retains the final right of interpretation."
She knew full well this marriage was bound to end in divorce sooner or later!
But she wasn't about to let herself lose out.
What was wrong with legally admiring her handsome husband?
(Asking her germaphobic husband to build a "Miss Bao's Mansion" for her beloved dog Yuanbao should be... reasonable, right? Yuanbao: Woof! Dad, don't drag me into this!)
Yan Tingchen married her.
Everyone thought it was nothing more than a marriage of convenience.
Only he knew.
The little girl he had once held while she cried had finally become his wife.

Yu Xi had a little secret: on her private account, she drew a series called "Husband, You're Fake!"
Just last night, she had posted a chibi drawing of his abs.
She thought she'd kept it under wraps...
The next day, the man, his ears bright red, blocked the doorway with a tablet in hand.
"Explain this. Why do my chibi abs look better than the real thing?"
-
Yu Xi had another big secret: she was once the mysterious artist A Li, whose work had generated 800 million in sales.
Now, she was posing as an intern at his company.
She thought she had covered her tracks perfectly...
Until the celebration banquet.
He raised his glass and smiled faintly, his voice clear and mellow. "Thanks to A Li, I was able to marry the love of my life."
He leaned close, his palm lightly gripping her slender waist.
His low, teasing laugh was utterly captivating:
"Now explain why you secretly added the clause saying we don't have to fulfill our marital duties. Were you hoping I'd stay chaste forever?"
"The agreement is void."
"Starting today, you'll fulfill your duties as my wife."
