Character Profiles
- Su Wanwan: 23, a junior employee at a design company. She's a money-loving foodie with a quirky, funny personality, a sharp tongue, and a soft heart.

After unexpectedly marrying Gu Yanchen, she begins a hilarious life of being force-fed and doted on by the CEO.

The humor comes from his lack of understanding of ordinary people's lives, which leads to one ridiculous mishap after another.
