Oblivious actress x top-tier star with an aloof attitude
[Strangers in public, passionately kissing in private | Three-year age gap | One-on-one romance | Both sexually inexperienced | Happy ending]
He Zhiyan, the heir to the He Group and an undisputed top-tier star in the entertainment industry, has a pair of mesmerizing, flirtatious eyes, yet has never so much as looked at anyone properly. Rumor has it his temper is even bigger than his ego.
Meng Rushuang comes from a family of scholars. She is a beautiful Jiangnan woman, like an ink painting, with a cool and distant air that makes her seem unattainable.
No one would ever connect these two seemingly unrelated people. Even Meng Rushuang never imagined that this proud, distinguished man would reach out to her when she was in trouble.
"Want to get into acting?"
"Would you consider marrying me?"
And so Meng Rushuang got a marriage certificate with He Zhiyan, a man she'd only met three times.

He Zhiyan became an award-winning actor at a young age, while Meng Rushuang was mocked online for her acting after entering the industry.
At the Starlight Awards, they were seated next to each other, setting off a firestorm among netizens: "How is Meng Rushuang's status high enough to sit next to an award-winning actor?!"
To avoid suspicion, Meng Rushuang didn't even glance at the person beside her.
But when she stepped down from the award stage, a large hand suddenly pulled her into an empty corner beyond the spotlight.
The man's arm locked around her slender waist, his warm breath falling against her neck.
"Why are you avoiding me, hmm? Can't I sit with my own wife?"

One day, He Zhiyan is photographed entering the same building as the leading actress from his drama, just moments apart. The scandal causes an uproar.
Meng Rushuang knows this marriage was only a matter of mutual convenience, so she sends him a message: "He Zhiyan, let's get divorced."
That night, her room is a mess, and her body is covered in suggestive marks...
As her consciousness drifts away, she hears the culprit's voice, husky as he seems to plead and act coy at once.
"Wife, don't divorce me. Never divorce me..."
At five in the morning, the He Group's official Weibo account, which has not been active for ages, suddenly posts a wedding photo against a red backdrop.
"Statement: The group has only one young madam, @Meng Rushuang. Anyone who spreads rumors or slander will face legal action. We will show no leniency."
Theme: True love never fades.
