   [1v1 Sweet & Awkward Romance | Arranged Marriage | Contract Marriage | Tycoon | Entertainment Industry | Light Suspense] [A vibrant and ambitious actress in the entertainment industry VS a cunning and ruthless tycoon who was abandoned and scorned by his family and forced to become self-reliant] Huo Qianyu pushes a contract towards her, "Marry me, and 'The Pirate Ship' is yours." Xiang Nanzhi, a once-popular actress who has been deliberately suppressed by her competitors for eight years, makes a choice in the face of a major temptation. She asks, "Do I need to exchange my body?" She thought it was a physical transaction, but she didn't expect the other party to want more. She voluntarily signs the contract, and Huo Qianyu becomes her angel investor and her partner. The relationship is redefined: friends? Or lovers? Familiar or unfamiliar. Putting aside the secondary, what she really wants is to get revenge for the eight years of humiliation she has suffered. Two parallel lines met and became acquainted in their youth due to an accident. The damage caused by this accident was too heavy, too heavy to be compensated. Years later, only Huo Qianyu still remembers Xiang Nanzhi. He needs her, a morbid need. In moments of vulnerability, his eyes would redden as he whispered to her, "Don't go." He'd hug her from behind in the middle of the night, asking, "Are you trying to run away again?" While Mr. Huo appeared to be in a superior position, she held considerable power in their relationship. He set a trap, she accepted. He approached, she assessed. A tug-of-war ensued, a push and pull. He kept a deep plan hidden from her, and she said, "You can't hide anything from me after all." The instigator of that unexpected event was far more terrifying and complex than they imagined. How would they break free from this predicament? (Married)

Rumor has it that the Crown Prince of Chu is blind and his internal organs are failing, not surviving past winter; while the princess sent for a political marriage is a weak and useless woman who only knows how to cry. On their wedding night, an assassin sneaks in. The princess, terrified, smashes a teacup, a shard of which accidentally cuts the assassin's throat; the Crown Prince weakly shrinks into the bed, but a silver needle on his fingertip accidentally pierces the assassin's vital point. The entire court awaits the spectacle of this short-lived couple's downfall. Until one dark and stormy night, the world's greatest poison doctor, Yaksha, and the leader of the Assassin's Guild, Yama, fight fiercely for the divine elixir. As they tear off each other's masks, both fall silent. Chu Mochen approached, his voice low and deep: "My beloved consort, your night attire is far more beautiful than your phoenix coronet and wedding robes during the day." Yan Yunqi sneered, brandishing her poisoned needle: "Your Highness, even with your eyes still open and your temper flaring, you're still much more pleasing to the eye than during the day!" When a dramatic princess with a built-in armor that reflects physical attacks tenfold meets a powerful, sickly tycoon, the entire capital is left in tears!
