Synopsis

[Two Strong Leads + Both Devoted + Secret Identities + Sweet and Sassy + Fluffy Romance]

He Yanchi and Wen Mian are the entertainment industry's officially recognized “good-for-nothing couple.” They have been married by agreement for three years, treating each other like ice. Their only shared talent is pretending to be useless. Then a reality show about married couples, titled Seven Days After Marriage, comes calling. Faced with the penalty for breaking their contract, the two are forced to play along.

When the show begins, He Yanchi continues playing the “uncultured nouveau riche,” giving Wen Mian a chunky gold chain, while Wen Mian keeps playing the “timid little star,” smiling stiffly at the camera.

But mishaps keep happening. During a task, He Yanchi instinctively uses his fluent command of eight languages to handle a difficult foreign guest, then turns to the camera and says, “Oh, my translation app is just really good!” When Wen Mian handles a medical emergency, they reveal the suturing skills of a top surgeon. Afterward, they explain with a cold expression, “I used to stitch up pigs.”

The livestream comments go from “This couple is so awkward” to “Holy crap, something's off about these two!” and “Is this what it looks like when max-level players slaughter the newbie village?”

The climax comes in the final episode, when neither can keep their secret identity hidden any longer. He Yanchi corners Wen Mian against the wall and switches off his microphone (but forgets to turn off the camera), then chuckles, “Well, well, little one. You've been hiding a lot, haven't you?” Wen Mian raises an eyebrow. “Likewise, Mr. He.”

The whole internet goes wild. Their marriage of convenience turns into true love, and their fake good-for-nothing personas become a real power couple. Happy ending.

Looking for a Secret Identity Story About Two Male Leads!! The Identity Reveal Should Be So Satisfying!!

Looking for something like Days Spent Protecting My Secret Identity in the Interstellar Era. I want the secret identity to be impressive, while the person themselves seems weak to those around them, with a stark contrast between the two! Ideally, the person keeps their secret identity hidden the whole time. Thanks ╰(*´

This novel has a captivating and suspenseful plot, with every twist and turn being both unexpected and logical. The characters are vividly portrayed, as if they leap out of the book, allowing readers to deeply feel their joys and sorrows. It is a book worth reading again and again.

It's super good, and it really fits the "alternate identity" genre perfectly. Both main characters are incredibly powerful. In short, it's super good, and I'm completely hooked! 😘

The author's portrayal of the romance is truly superb. From mutual testing and suspicion to ultimately becoming each other's weakness and strongest armor, their wandering hearts finally find a home. No matter how much suspicion and danger the world holds, having this person by their side makes it all worthwhile. Finally, Chi Mian goes 99!

The plot is great and very addictive, but sometimes the author's descriptions make me a little awkward (maybe it's because I have trouble getting into the story). But the plot is really good! And the pacing is fast and doesn't drag, the revealing of identities is super quick and satisfying, hehe.

It looks really good, but it's so short 😢 Mianmian and Chi are so sweet! The Smiths, fighting side-by-side, are really awesome. Understanding each other's intentions with just a glance feels amazing. A very good novel.

It's so good! The protagonist is not only a divine doctor but also a programmer, while the other is the tyrant behind the L Consortium (this description is from the story, not my own 😳). The two are testing each other, and their identities are completely revealed in the early episodes of variety shows. It's just that there aren't enough chapters 🥺 Author, please update 100 chapters a day, okay?! 😳

It's fantastic! The two are undeniably powerful; both are incredibly strong. It's so entertaining! This husband-and-wife team is invincible! And the timing of their reveal is perfect.
