When Shen Qingning discovers that her marriage-alliance partner has been cheating before the wedding, she simply goes and registers her marriage to his younger brother, Fu Shiyan, the second son of the Fu family.
She has her reasons: he’s often abroad for work, he’s her cousin’s childhood friend, he’s handsome, and he keeps his private life simple.
They agree to a marriage of convenience for three years, then part on good terms once the two families’ projects are complete.
Who could have guessed that on the very first day after they register, Fu Shiyan would return to China to take up his post, and start living under the same roof as her?
Next, he quickly wins over her parents, then earns the approval of her best friends, mentor, classmates, and everyone else around her.
Then he forcefully takes the position of heir from his scumbag older brother and becomes the family successor.
Before long, even Shen Qingning falls for him…
Who would have thought that the restrained, modest young man she first met was actually a scheming master in disguise?
Only when he whispers her childhood nickname tenderly in her ear during a passionate night does she realize that this marriage alliance, which seemed like a mere business arrangement, is actually the fulfillment of a secret crush someone had harbored for years and carefully plotted for a long time.
