After six years together, Shen Zhiyi stood by Gu Chengze as he went from having nothing to building a successful career. But on her twenty-eighth birthday, he dumped her with a single line: "Love is one thing, marriage is another."
Six years of devotion lost to self-interest, she walked away. That night, drunk and acting on impulse, she entered into a marriage of convenience with a stranger whose family was also pressuring him to marry.
The man's name was Fu Yanci. He claimed to be an ordinary manager at Shenghuan Group, with a house, a car, and enough income to get by. He was distant, but seemed dependable. Shen Zhiyi thought she'd simply married an ordinary office worker and planned to part on good terms after a year.
But after they married, Fu Yanci remembered when her stomach hurt, clumsily learned to cook, stood up for her when her ex kept harassing her, and stayed firmly by her side whenever others looked down on her.
She thought their marriage was slowly becoming real.
Until, at a business banquet, she saw with her own eyes the "Manager Fu" who ate street food with her every day, surrounded by a crowd of financial reporters.
For the first time, the news revealed his true identity:
The person in control of Shenghuan Group, third-generation heir to the Fu family, Fu Yanci.
It turned out he had been hiding a secret from the moment they met to the day they married.
Shen Zhiyi left a divorce agreement and walked away.
Fu Yanci thought losing her was the greatest price he could pay.
Until, at an international jewelry summit, he saw the "ordinary designer" from before take the main stage, as dozens of investment firms rose to their feet and respectfully addressed her:
"Chairwoman Shen."
Only then did he understand.
He wasn't the only one in their marriage with a hidden identity.
