After a car accident, Cheng Luan lost five years of his memories. He woke up in the emergency room and discovered he was pregnant.
The good news: the baby's father was a wealthy CEO.
The bad news: he was the CEO's lover. They'd been in a car accident while sneaking around, and the father had been hurt even worse. He was now in the hospital, living as a long-term coma patient.
Cheng Luan had dreamed of getting something for nothing since he was a kid. He never imagined the dream would come true so easily: five years later, I really am a rich old man's mistress, and I even have his illegitimate child...
To pay for formula, heavily pregnant Cheng Luan had no choice but to pose as a caregiver, sneaking into the hospital to work while secretly looking after his comatose lover.
His goal was to secure a bit of the family fortune for the baby and end his life as the other man as soon as possible.
When the legal wife came to visit, Cheng Luan tactfully disappeared: Don't worry, I'm leaving right now. I promise I won't cause you any trouble.
When the legal wife got in his face, Cheng Luan dropped to his knees and cried: Bro! I was wrong! Please give me five million to make me disappear!
When the other lover showed up, Cheng Luan earnestly advised: Join me. We can both run away together someday.
After all that effort, he'd saved enough money, and the baby was born safely. Cheng Luan took his son and fled to the countryside to live a peaceful life farming, never to speak of what had happened again.
But just a few days later, he heard the village gossiping that a big shot had arrived in town.
Cheng Luan went to see what the fuss was about, only to find that the man stepping out of the car was the baby's father. After just a few days, he could not only walk and drive, but talk too!
The first thing he did was grab Cheng Luan and say, "Wife, how much longer are you going to keep this up?"
Meng Xiao was Cheng Luan's legally registered husband.
When they first met five years ago, Meng Xiao had seen Cheng Luan's slender, straight back once, like a lone arrow bamboo standing in a snowy field. He never forgot it.
Five years later, Meng Xiao had managed to marry Cheng Luan, but had also watched that arrow bamboo wither and break...
After another failed investment, Cheng Luan brought up divorce in the car. Six months pregnant, he was pale and gaunt.
The thought that someone else might touch his bamboo someday left Meng Xiao unable to breathe. When he came to, the car had already gone off the road and into a ditch.
Who could have guessed that when he opened his eyes, his amnesiac wife would have become a different person? Not only had he regained the energy he once had, he had also gotten hooked on sneaking around...
Bonus Scene:
At two in the morning in a private hospital room, Cheng Luan, overcome by pregnancy hormones, couldn't hold back any longer. He looked around, saw no one, and climbed on top of him.
"The baby deserves to see his dad. Don't worry, I won't tell your wife."
After one night, Meng Xiao made a bold decision: he would keep pretending to be in a coma.
A few months later, Cheng Luan was nearing his due date, and Meng Xiao still couldn't figure out who Cheng Luan meant by "your wife."
Then he saw the flowers his elder brother had sent to his bedside. A card was tucked into them. It read: Get well soon, little bro. You're welcome~
