Shen Jiaojiao married into Prince Jing'an's palace on behalf of her sister. She originally wanted to wait until the prince died so that she could become a happy and wealthy woman.
Unexpectedly, inside the bridal chamber, not only was the man not dead, he even crossed his legs and said:
"Don't call me Prince, it sounds unlucky. Just call me Pei Yan. Or, when you're pretending to be affectionate, call me 'husband'."
"Let's not talk secretly. I know you don't want to marry, and I don't want to marry either. Why don't we make a deal - pretend to be a loving couple, and let's live our lives after the limelight has passed."
Shen Jiaojiao's eyes lit up: Deal!
In front of others, he was the sickly and dying Crown Prince Jing'an, and she was the gentle and virtuous bride.
Behind the scenes, he is a ruthless boss with a sinister side and hidden dangers, while she is a clever calculating figure.
The Queen Mother sent someone to test it out, and the two of them acted on the spot; the performance was so shocking that ghosts and gods wept.
It was originally a cooperative marriage where everyone got what they needed. Who would have expected that in the end, neither of them wanted to leave before the show was over.
Purpose: A cooperative marriage in which each takes what he or she needs
