(A slow-burn realization + marriage before love + one-on-one romance + simmering tension + groveling ex-husband + both leads are pure)
[A bright, sunny girl who refuses to settle & a rational, restrained man who secretly gets jealous]
After her ex-boyfriend disgusted her with a bizarre marriage contract that would have made him marry into her family, Yun Yan was left with just one rule for life: cut your losses in time, and never eat shit.
Qin Yuye, the head of Beicheng’s most powerful family, is cold and aloof. They say no woman ever gets within a hundred meters of him, yet countless beauties fall for him.
To balance things at home, Yun Yan married into a wealthy family and became the woman within that hundred-meter radius.
Yun Yan’s take: That’s his good fortune!
He was rational, and she was clear-eyed. When he suggested keeping their marriage secret, she raised both hands in agreement.
At first, everything went smoothly in this relationship that began as a practical arrangement.
Yun Yan thought her marriage to Qin Yuye was a perfect partnership.
That is, until she appeared on a hugely popular reality show featuring an all-star cast.
On the show, a younger photographer followed her around calling her “Sis,” while a nationally famous movie star openly declared his admiration for her. She even trended seven or eight times.
Off camera, her emotionally stable model husband began to lose his composure...
First, he “accidentally” became the show’s biggest sponsor. Then, during a phone-call segment, his voice turned husky:
“Yanyan, can I come out into the open now?”
Later, when her ex-boyfriend exposed a secret about the wealthy family in public, it turned out that the sunny girl’s brightness was built on years of suppressed pain.
The cold and aloof head of the Qin family brushed his fingers over her reddened eyes and asked gently, “Why are you crying?”
Yun Yan challenged him. “What gives you the right to control me? You’re breaking the rules.”
“Because there have never been any rules when it comes to my wife, Yun Yan!”
