The Top-Tier Star Begs to Renew Our Contract After It Expires

On the first day of our contract relationship, Gu Hanzhou and I were secretly photographed. The trending charts exploded, and our contract was forced to level up. We went from “no going public, no kissing, no catching feelings” to a “top-tier star couple” livestreamed for the whole internet to see. He was an award-winning actor, the heir to a wealthy family, a star I could never hope to reach. In his eyes, I was “the perfect candidate for a contract marriage”: clearheaded, sensible, and not in love with him. Yet he kept crossing the line. At a kissing scene, he fiercely took my side. When rumors about me flooded the internet, he stood up for me at once. At a family dinner, he took my hand and said, “My wife, Su Wan.” It wasn’t until I won Best Actress and stood onstage to say softly, “Thank you to my husband, Gu Hanzhou,” that it all became clear. Backstage, he grabbed me with red-rimmed eyes, his voice hoarse. “Our contract is up… Su Wan, will you renew it with me?” “This time, for the rest of our lives.” Only later did I realize… This relationship had never been a contract. It was his long-planned renewal of the love that had stolen his heart. “Clearheaded career woman × top-tier award-winning actor whose secret crush comes true” From contract couple to truly devoted spouses, we take on the entertainment industry side by side. He was with me every step of the way as I climbed to the top.
