At 9, Jiang Li is a seasoned office drone, facing not only the career crisis of turning 35 but also nuclear-level pressure from every aunt and uncle in the family to get married. Shen Que, 31, is a venture capitalist who believes in absolute rationality. To regain control of his family trust fund, he urgently needs a marriage certificate, but he despises the mutual scheming of the matchmaking scene.
After a bizarre man humiliates her at a matchmaking event, Jiang Li posts a “Marriage Partner Wanted” notice on a niche forum called “What If We Never Get Married?”
Not only must it be a whirlwind marriage, it must be kept secret.
Mortgage payments split 50/50, housework split 50/50, and handling their parents split 50/50.
No interference in each other’s private lives. The one and only rule: absolutely no falling in love.
Shen Que applies with a printed Excel spreadsheet in hand. They hit it off at once: they get their marriage certificate in the morning, sign a contract in the afternoon, and sleep in separate rooms that night. In public, they’re the enviable model couple on everyone’s social media, putting on Oscar-worthy performances. At home, they’re nitpicking roommates who even keep a ledger for scallions.
But as their marriage of convenience brings them into sync, and acting becomes second nature, Jiang Li realizes that this man, who speaks only in data, perfectly matches everything she’s ever imagined in a soulmate. When Shen Que breaks Clause 99, “No Falling in Love,” should their marriage of convenience end, or begin for real?
