Lin Yuxi's life motto is: If she can sit, she won't stand, and every second past six o'clock is a loss for the company. Unfortunately, she lands in the industry's most cutthroat department, where she meets the most ruthless overachiever of all: Jiang Che. Known as the “KPI Reaper,” he works late every night and uses his devastatingly handsome face to pressure the whole company into working harder alongside him. Lin Yuxi: Thanks, but no thanks. Isn't slacking off great? Why should I help pay for the boss's Ferrari?
Even worse, to get her family off her back about marriage, she somehow ends up in a whirlwind wedding with a man. Only after the wedding does she discover that her never-before-seen husband is Jiang Che himself!
Their agreement says they'll stay out of each other's private lives, live separately, and only pretend to be a loving couple when necessary.
Lin Yuxi is overjoyed: Perfect! We can fight wits at the office during the day, then sleep in separate rooms at home at night. The ideal married life!
But gradually, things start to feel off
At a family gathering, Jiang Che deftly shields her from every question about having children and even peels her favorite shrimp for her.
At a company outing, when her coworkers try to make her drink, Jiang Che picks up a glass without changing expression. “I'll drink for her.”
When a competitor maliciously frames her, Jiang Che throws down a lawyer's letter and says coldly, “She's mine. Who dares touch her?”
Lin Yuxi, professional slacker, slowly types a question mark: ?
We agreed to stay out of each other's business, so why are you secretly chasing the “Best Husband” KPI? Hey, that's cheating!
