A clear-headed beauty who loves money X a powerful, influential big shot who only pretends to be proper
Nan Chi was married to Gu Chengzhou for three years, and she saw him only twice.
Once for their matchmaking date, and once to register their marriage.
Rumor had it that her mysterious husband was ruthless in his pursuit of power, cold-blooded and merciless, a man who held the entire elite business and political world in the palm of his hand.
When she saw him a third time, she decided the rumors must have been a smear campaign by his rivals.
Her husband was clearly a kindhearted man who loved helping people.
“See? I told you he was a good person.”
Her best friend, who had seen her husband’s methods firsthand several times, said nothing.

Someone asked Gu Chengzhou, “Third Master Gu, didn’t you marry Song Nan Chi just because you thought she was beautiful?”
Gu Chengzhou, whose mind was the most focused on his career in the universe, scoffed.
Impossible.
He had only decided to marry her the very first time he saw her.
But later, why did he get thirsty every time he saw his wife?
He always wanted to drink from the glass she had used, and kept staring at the moisture on her lips...

Gu Chengzhou’s doting love for her came with breathtaking force.
Nan Chi was like a startled rabbit, retreating, resisting, and running away again and again.
Each time, Gu Chengzhou held her tighter than before.
“Nan Chi, there are too many house rules. You’d better print them out so I can memorize them one by one.”
“Nan Chi, I consulted the stars. The only way you’ll ever be single again is if you become a widow.”
“Nan Chi, you don’t have to learn how to love me. It’s enough that I love you.”
“Nan Chi, don’t be afraid of hurting me. Be afraid of leaving me.”
Nan Chi was silent for a moment. “Aren’t you always telling me to be brave and do the things I’m afraid of?”
“...No applying the rules to this.”
