[A pure-hearted puppy gong who pretends to be mature but gets flustered when flirted with vs. a sickly but money-loving, flirtatious fox shou]
Yun Ting is a handsome, sickly man.
His good looks and superb acting skills have landed him a low-effort, high-reward job: playing people's contract wives.
But he never expected someone to be so eager to throw money at him.
"I hear you're great at playing a wealthy man's wife. As it happens, I need the perfect wife, and I'll pay generously."
The man had sharp brows and bright eyes, and a perfectly proportioned, V-shaped physique. The mole on the bridge of his nose was especially Yun Ting's type.
If it had been anyone else, even a second's hesitation would have shown disrespect for money and for his own desires.
But this man was the childhood friend of his recently deceased husband. They'd just seen each other at the funeral!
Buddy, you sure have no qualms about stealing your friend's spouse.
And on top of that, this man was a full eight years younger than him!
Taking his money would make Yun Ting feel like he was taking advantage of a kid.
But he couldn't bear to pass up all that money from the Nan family, or a face that made hearts flutter at first sight. Yun Ting agreed to the hasty "proposal."
He never expected the man to add, "Don't worry. I won't touch you. This is just a business arrangement."
Well, that wouldn't do. Yun Ting would have to teach this ill-mannered puppy a lesson.
This little brat was still too green to play with him.
After they married, Yun Ting let him hug, kiss, and touch him, but never let the man go all the way. To his surprise, the young master was bent on climbing into his bed, calling it "attending to his husband."
When Yun Ting remained unmoved, his employer started claiming Yun Ting was seducing him.
What had he even done?
And even if he had, could you call it seduction in this line of work?
It was work!
Nan Sheng gritted his teeth. "You won't let me touch you because you're still in love with him, aren't you?"
Yun Ting kicked him in the chest. His body heaved as he coughed softly a couple of times. "What's it to you? You're my boss. What gives you the right to interfere in your employee's private life?"
"Because I'm your husband!"
"What kind of husband are you, Mr. Nan? We're just business partners."
"You're still thinking about him! Don't think about him, don't! I'm the real husband. He's just the other man now!"

Nan Sheng, the only son of the Nan family, had a secret.
He fell in love with his childhood friend's widower at the funeral.
Tears glistened in Yun Ting's eyes as his long hair danced in the wind, and Nan Sheng fell for him at first sight.
He bent down and kissed away the tear at the corner of Yun Ting's eye.
It was all right. He would push his useless childhood friend out of his wife's heart.
Yun Ting was his, and his alone.
