[Both leads are pure and inexperienced + marriage first, love later + years of careful scheming + wealthy CEO]
Mu Zhiyi has one goal after returning to China: take back everything that belongs to me!
So, to get her shares, she searches across Shanghai for a suitable husband.
Gu Qiyu is the heir to the Gu Group in Shanghai, a decisive and adept businessman.
Most importantly, he's not only handsome but also keeps himself to himself, with no women hanging around him.
Mu Zhiyi thinks this is just a deal, with both sides harboring their own schemes.
Gu Qiyu thinks fate has given him a chance to reunite with her.
After they get married, she opens the fridge looking for something to eat and finds it full of bland, healthy food. Frowning, she asks, “Is this even fit for people to eat?”
He looks at her impassively. “I've eaten it for more than twenty years.”
The next day, the fridge is stocked with luosifen, durian cake, and spicy beef jerky.
Little by little, Mu Zhiyi also indulges his antics.
Gu Qiyu takes full advantage, making clinging to his wife the first thing he does every morning!
“Zhiyi, honey, I don't feel well. Give me a rub~”
“Chairwoman Mu, would you do me the honor of having a drink with me~”
“Master Su Bai, can I be the inspiration for your lyrics~”
“Baby Yizhi, could you write about our everyday life~”
Mu Zhiyi thinks: Oh no, all my secret identities have been exposed!!!
Reading tips:
1. Marriage first, love later from the heroine's perspective; the hero has been plotting for a long time.
2. Six-year age gap. Fictional setting with no real-life models, so please don't overanalyze.
3. A sweet romance after marriage, with no angst.
(If it's not your thing, don't force yourself. I hope everyone finds a story they love.)
