Shen Zhiwei wakes up to find herself in a book, cast as the timid, gentle wife of a wealthy family.
Bound by a business marriage, she marries Gu Shiyan, the untouchable, ascetic overlord of the capital.
They are contract spouses, simply making a life together: no romance, just a mutually beneficial arrangement.
To lie flat and coast through life, she diligently pretends to be a proper, refined lady, hoping to eat for free and wait out her days in peace.
Who could have guessed that after one unexpected night, the aloof tycoon would awaken the ability to read minds?
The elegant and demure Mrs. Gu may look composed, but inside she's already unleashing a torrent of unhinged complaints:
[I'm so sick of bland food every day. I miss spicy hot pot!]
[My two-faced best friend is pretending to be nice again. She can't wait for me to step down so she can take my place!]
[My icy husband is so cold. I just want to quietly run away, not fall in love!]
In public, he is cold and heartless, talking only about business, never love;
In private, he listens to all her innermost thoughts, indulges her mischievous, willful side, and falls for her one step at a time.
The whole world thinks she's going to any lengths to cling to the aloof tycoon,
But Gu Shiyan knows the truth:
Following the voice in her heart, he willingly falls, step by step, into her tenderness.
It's pretty good; both the male and female leads are strong.
