I Sat at the Wrong Matchmaking Table, So I’m Going Wild with a Powerful Beijing Bigwig

[A hilariously unhinged artist with an outstanding mental state vs. a cold-hearted investment tycoon from Beijing with severe OCD]

Lin Huixing used to be a textbook people-pleaser. She dimmed her own light for her scumbag boyfriend, only to be cheated on and put down. After her heart turned to stone, she finally understood: stop tormenting yourself and start tormenting others! Her motto is to keep people guessing about her manners and never back down from a challenge.

Forced by her family to go on a blind date, she sits at the wrong table and plops down in front of Gu Yanci, a top investment tycoon from Beijing. Gu Yanci is famous for his cold nature, severe OCD, and extreme cleanliness. He only wants to find a “quiet ornament” to marry by contract, with no interference in each other’s lives. They hit it off immediately and get their marriage license that very day.

Gu Yanci expects married life to be peaceful. Instead, he gets a taste of hell. He can’t sleep, and Lin Huixing sits in the living room in the middle of the night, tapping an electronic wooden fish while blasting the Great Compassion Mantra. He sulks, and Lin Huixing lies flat and plays dead, murmuring, “Drink more hot water to dispel your anger.” He goes on a business trip and gives her the silent treatment, so she posts on social media: “Widowed. Open to flirting. Apply within.”

Furious, Gu Yanci flies back to China overnight, corners her against a wall, and grits out his new rules: “You have to video-call me and report in every day. And you have to kiss and hug me every day!”

Everyone waits to see this crazy woman get kicked out. Then, at a glamorous socialite banquet, Lin Huixing is being provoked and is about to roll up her sleeves and go wild, when the untouchable tycoon flips the table first. He turns and gently takes her hand. “Does your hand hurt? Next time, let your husband handle the rough stuff. Don’t get yourself worked up and hurt your health.”
