I was transmigrated into a domineering CEO novel as the vicious female lead, and the System ordered me to win over my icy husband.
Goal: 100% affection.
Current status: -100.
Me: “...Even a dog wouldn’t do this mission!”
System: [Electric shock warning.]
Me: “...Woof, woof, woof.”
And so began my hardcore life as a devoted wife, delivering soup to Gu Chengxiao every day.
He smashed a bowl. I crouched to pick up the shards and looked up with a gentle smile. “Darling, does your hand hurt?”
He flew into a rage during a meeting. I barged in and tied his tie in front of everyone. “Getting angry is bad for your liver. Have some soup to cool down.”
The whole company called me a hopeless bootlicker. I smiled and nodded. “Thanks. I’m taking a course in The Devoted Wife’s Guide to Self-Improvement.”
Everyone thought I was crazy, Gu Chengxiao included.
Until his rival gave him a hard time at a business banquet. I peeled shrimp for him while using devoted-wife catchphrases to drive the other man’s blood pressure through the roof.
Gu Chengxiao cornered me against a wall in the middle of the night, his gaze dangerous. “Are you putting on an act, or...?”
I was so scared the System’s voice shot up an octave. “The Host is advised to stay in character...”
He lowered his head and bit my ear, his voice hoarse:
“Stop pretending. When you’re like this... I think I’m even more into you.”
Later, my devoted-wife secret identity was exposed completely.
The people who once mocked me found out:
I was the one who secured the Gu Corporation’s toughest deal.
The hottest livestream sales queen was my secret account.
Even Gu Chengxiao’s rival begged me through tears: “Sis, teach me. How can I be more like you...?”
