[Powerful couple in a whirlwind marriage + mutual identity reveals + clear-headed heroine building her career + an abstinent mogul who spoils her with extreme double standards]
After catching her rich fiancé cheating with a scheming colleague, Su Qingyan records the evidence and tears into the scumbag on the spot. Then her male-favoring parents use her younger brother’s new home as an excuse to force her into marriage, trying to trap her in a life of endlessly supporting him.
With nowhere else to turn, she rushes into the civil affairs bureau, stops a man in work clothes, and marries him on the spot. They sign a one-year marriage contract promising not to interfere in each other’s lives. All she wants is to use her married status to get away from rotten people and their messes.
She thinks she’s married a construction-site supervisor who earns five thousand a month and owns neither a home nor a car. While posing as an ordinary designer to maintain her cover, she secretly works as Yan, an anonymous designer who’s a top-tier star on the international scene, with bookings stretching three years ahead. She takes down scheming colleagues, stands up to her parasitic family, and dominates the design world on sheer talent.
But she has no idea that her “poor husband,” who shares her bed, is actually Lu Shiyan, the sole head of the Lu Group, which controls half of Shanghai’s financial empire.
Pressured into marriage by the ironclad rules of the financial elite, this top mogul recognizes at first glance the woman he’s been searching for for three years: the love of his life. He accepts the contract without a fuss, then quietly clears every obstacle from her path and gives her all his devoted affection.
Then, at Shanghai’s most exclusive financial elite’s banquet, both their identities are exposed, and the whole room erupts! Everyone finally realizes that this isn’t an ordinary girl climbing into high society. It’s two moguls pretending to be poor and playing along, both heading straight for each other!
