Married first, fell in love later | Strangers in public | Passionate kisses in private | Complete strangers
Gentle, resilient animation director x rebellious, dom-type CEO
At twenty-four, Xu Yiqiao got promoted and, as a bonus, got married.
Her husband was the grandson of her grandmother's close friend.
By the time they got their marriage certificates, they had met exactly twice.
When Xu Yiqiao happened to hear the name Zhou Yanchuan in the company break room during a discussion about a new investor and producer, she was momentarily dazed.

Once they started working together, the two began seeing each other frequently. Whenever they crossed paths, they tacitly pretended not to know each other.
No one suspected a thing, and no one connected them to each other.
At a company dinner, Xu Yiqiao came out of the restroom and ran into one of Zhou Yanchuan's friends. The others had no idea who she was, but they were talking about her.
"It was just a convenient match."
The man's lazy expression made it seem as if he couldn't care less.

Later, Xu Yiqiao was working overtime so often that she would see the man's figure just as she was leaving the parking lot.
Once in the car, Xu Yiqiao focused all her attention on the new film she was making.
A message popped up on her laptop in a group chat created by the new assistant.
"The voice actor Sister Qiao picked has such a nice voice, and he's so handsome."
Xu Yiqiao was about to reply when she looked up and met the man's amused, inscrutable smile.
She suddenly remembered that he had looked at her the same way earlier, while they were discussing the script with the production team.
Xu Yiqiao was still busy in the study late at night. When she had finished revising, she headed straight to the office to check on the details without a word.
Zhou Yanchuan waited for her in bed, but she still hadn't come back. Unable to stand it any longer, he went to the study and found she was already gone.
Grinding his teeth, he chased after her to the office and kissed her without a word. "Was I not making it obvious enough? How can you not see me at all?"
Falling in love with you is easy, like scalding boiling water that never stops bubbling.
