The day Tang Tang went on a blind date in her best friend’s place, she showed up in a flour-dusted apron and canvas shoes. The man across from her was dressed in a suit, his expression as cold as an iceberg. He was practically a walking air conditioner. She thought, I’ll just have a good meal and leave.
Twenty minutes later, Gu Xingchen said, “Marry me.”
Tang Tang thought there was something wrong with his head. Only later did she learn that he had met her in France two years earlier. He had collected all her photos and even sealed away in plastic the tissue she’d used to wipe her tears. He’d waited two years for her to sit across from him and eat malatang.
On the first day of their whirlwind marriage, she smeared chili-oil stains all over his custom-made suit, worth 380,000 yuan.
In their first week, she put up a trendy camping tent in the villa’s living room and cooked luosifen, making the housekeeper quit from the stench.
In the first month, she brought him soup during a company meeting. The whole company learned that their icy CEO had been completely wrapped around her finger.
Later, her secret identity came to light: “Tangzhi,” a dessert-world superstar, founder of a studio with annual revenue of 80 million yuan, and owner of a million followers. The whole internet was stunned: The CEO’s wife is a goofy comedian?
Gu Xingchen didn’t care about any of that. He cared about just one thing: how to make her laugh. From not knowing what to say to learning how, from aloof to clingy, from afraid of the dark and ghosts to daring to cry in front of her. His twenty-eight-year-old iceberg melted completely under her bowl of luosifen.
This is a silly, sweet romance about a “cold, domineering CEO being healed and led astray by a funny girl.” No angst, just laugh-until-you-roll-on-the-floor moments and a mutual love so sweet it gives you a toothache. From a whirlwind marriage to falling in love, from Lyon to forever...
“Two years ago, I was crying by the roadside, and he gave me a pack of tissues. Two years later, he became my husband. That’s the greatest prize of all.”
