As the industry’s top contract girlfriend, Shi Qianya’s services include, but are not limited to, playing the loving girlfriend, scaring off awful blind dates, and turning the tide at family gatherings. Her professional creed is simple: follow the script, don’t catch feelings. Payment in full, no aftercare.
Until she takes on the toughest job of her career: becoming the contract wife of the Shengshi Group CEO, a man said to be uninterested in women and as cold as an iceberg, for three months.
Shi Qianya puts on her professional fake smile, calculating furiously inside: It’s a big job and it pays well. I can put up with it for a while!
When they sign the contract, Fu Siyan expressionlessly hands her a supplementary agreement dozens of pages long:
“First, no physical contact of any kind.”
“Second, don’t interfere in my private life.”
“Third, and most importantly, don’t fall in love with me.”
Shi Qianya signs without hesitation. “Don’t worry, President Fu. Professionalism is my specialty!”
But after they get married, things gradually go off script…
At a family banquet, a scheming woman gives her a hard time. Without a word, he steps in front of her and leaves the other woman speechless.
She comes home late after working overtime. Wearing his usual icy expression, he clumsily cooks her the worst noodles in the world.
When she has to spend time with another “client” for “work,” President Fu corners her against the wall and asks, eyes red, “Shi Qianya, where’s your professional integrity? We haven’t ‘divorced’ yet!”
Shi Qianya is baffled: ??? Boss, you were the one who broke the contract first! Weren’t we supposed to keep our feelings out of it?!
