    [Marriage of Convenience, Love After Arrangement] Shen Zhiyi, a bride brought into the Bo family to bring good fortune, is a model wife of the wealthy by day and transforms into a spoiled and arrogant queen of online novels by night. Bo Yu coldly scoffs at her hypocrisy and affectation, unaware that the surveillance cameras in his study have been broadcasting her "true love" moment live online—when the aloof beauty loosens her tie and kneels to hug the keyboard: "Can the chapter about pursuing my wife that you wrote be changed to a happy ending?" Those who prefer a clean relationship are overjoyed! A textbook example of a woman who is all talk and no action × a beautiful and strong woman who suffers a tragic counterattack, a sweet and angsty battle of hormones, see how the cunning tycoon engraves "preventing cheating friends" into his DNA, staging the ultimate "true love" face-slapping literature of the wealthy family.
