Zhou Yanli was fed up with his family pressuring him to get married, so he had his assistant find a woman with a respectable background for a sham marriage. As luck would have it, Wen Shuyi had just graduated from college and couldn’t find a job. Zhou Yanli was exactly her type, and when she saw the seven-figure monthly salary, her hand moved faster than her brain. She signed the agreement on the spot.
According to the agreement, Wen Shuyi would play the loving wife in front of the Zhou family and outsiders. Behind closed doors, they would be roommates and leave each other alone. As they gradually grew closer, Wen Shuyi was the first to fall for him. She treated Zhou Yanli with warmth and patience, but he simply enjoyed it without showing much in return, always keeping her at arm’s length.
When she heard that Zhou Yanli’s childhood sweetheart was coming back, and that he’d said she was like a nanny, Wen Shuyi was heartbroken.
So she decided to take back her affection. Three-legged toads were hard to find, but two-legged men were everywhere. Instead of dreaming about him, she’d be better off making good money and hiring eight or ten male models someday.
Zhou Yanli found it strange that Wen Shuyi had suddenly started following the rules of their arrangement, though that was what he had always wanted. That is, until he saw a man walk her home. They were laughing together and even touching. The hand gripping his cup slowly turned white.
Fuming, he demanded to know who the man was. Wen Shuyi calmly replied that it was none of his business. Then she took out their agreement and asked to end it. The next second, Zhou Yanli pinned her against the wall, gritting his teeth. “You want to divorce me and go after that pretty boy?”
“Wen Shuyi, if you dare, I’ll kill myself!”
Not pretty at all
Can the plot be faster? 🤦
