[Workplace romance + mutual healing + contract marriage + rekindled love]
[Mischievous, scheming, and afraid of his wife × Cool and restrained, but crazy about her husband]
After dreaming of Jiang Xunzhou two thousand times, Qi Shuanghe began making love to him in her dreams.
But she never expected a familiar figure to catch her when she went to a blind date.
Their eyes met. Jiang Xunzhou merely gave a slight nod, without even an apology.
“Xunzhou, Xunzhou, the person you bumped into is your blind date.”
Song Wangshu waved from Table 33, phone in hand.
Jiang Xunzhou's expression shifted slightly. Speaking into his phone, he said, “Miss Xu, I'll be waiting for you at Table 34.”
Song Wangshu was completely baffled.
He walked straight inside. As he passed Song Wangshu, he said coolly, “Take my place.”
Song Wangshu's inner monologue: Is going on someone else's blind date some kind of weird kink?
For much of what followed, Song Wangshu played the role of Qi Shuanghe's husband, under the name Jiang Xunzhou.

Qi Shuanghe had always thought that once she and Jiang Xunzhou each had their own marriages, they would have nothing more to do with each other.
But Jiang Xunzhou cornered her at the door, using work as an excuse. “Miss Qi, are you so afraid of cheating? Could it be that you've fallen for your husband?”
Qi Shuanghe was completely at a loss in the face of his inexplicable jealousy.
“Mr. Jiang, aren't you afraid Miss Xu will catch you?”
-
Qi Shuanghe always felt that this marriage was shrouded in a thick white fog. Her husband, whom she rarely saw, always seemed to know exactly what she liked.
It wasn't until Jiang Xunzhou could no longer restrain himself and revealed his identity that everything gradually became clear.
Stubborn and broken, he said, “Yes, I'm your legal husband, but I won't divorce you.”

For six years, he had kept his feelings in check, all so he could hold on to her when they met again, by any means necessary.
