In order to raise money for his seriously ill brother, Shen Ruoyu, a small-time liar in Jinhai, accepted a huge "deal" - pretending to be the eldest daughter of the Shen family who had run away from home, and marrying into the powerful Lu family.
I thought that with her sharp tongue and "acting skills", it would be easy for her to become a beautiful young lady, wait for death, take money and leave.
Who would have known that her newlywed husband Lu Chengan, who was said to be indifferent, taciturn and unsexy, turned out to be an "old fox" with a clear mind and a mind as fine as the tip of a needle.
When they first met, his smile did not reach his eyes: "Miss Shen, I have long admired you."
Shen Ruoyu's heart was ringing with alarm, and his face was as bright as a smile: "Young Marshal Lu, nice to meet you."
After marriage, he always inadvertently throws out the proposition:
"I heard that you lived in Songshan Villa when you were a child. How are the camellias blooming in the back mountain now?"
"I remember that you loved listening to the French waltz the most. Why didn't you feel happy when I asked the musicians to play it today?"
"Madam, the sharpness with which she peels crabs is not like that of a daughter raised in a boudoir, but rather like... Someone who often works in the market to earn a living."
While Shen Ruoyu was greeting the eighteenth generation of his ancestors in his heart, he continued to show off his tricks without changing his expression, taking the imposter's professionalism to the extreme.
She acted with such deep affection that he watched with relish.
She pretended to be gentle and virtuous, and he enjoyed her company.
One day, Lu Chengan cornered her in a corner, his warm breath brushed against her ears, and his voice was low and dangerous: "Well done, my wife. But when will you be willing to 'play' a real move towards me?"
