Shen Nuoran, a wealthy heir who was recently acknowledged by his family, took over a startup and soon earned a reputation for great promise.
In reality, his sworn rival repeatedly poached his employees and stole his projects, leaving him in a sorry state. Then he unexpectedly learned that the so-called "sworn rival" was just a decoy, and that his real enemy was in the Qin family.
His rival seemed to realize that he had found out and struck without mercy, dealing a crushing blow to Shen Nuoran's company.
His family was disappointed and pressured him into marrying into the Qin family. "If you didn't have that face, why would they ever agree to the marriage?"
Unable to bear the humiliation, Shen Nuoran fled in the middle of the night, only to somehow end up in bed with someone. That person then "kindly" sent him back home.
His friend was speechless. "Why not marry into the family, find out who your enemy is, and get him back?"
Shen Nuoran: "Oh, right!"
But when he saw his intended, he was stunned. It was none other than his one-night stand, Qin Buzhou.

After they married, Qin Buzhou was always by Shen Nuoran's side. When Shen couldn't make up his mind about a project, Qin offered advice. When Shen's anxiety flared up, Qin comforted him gently. He was accepted, even indulged, as if soaking in a hot spring.
But the first person Shen suspected was Qin Buzhou.
The reason was simple: if Qin was so capable, why was he doing odd jobs for his family?
Qin Buzhou made no attempt to hide the truth. "In a wealthy family, an unfavored young master naturally has no prospects."
But after Shen extracted information and made his rival ask to cooperate, the person he found was still Qin Buzhou.
·
Qin Buzhou, heir apparent to the Qin family. Everyone in the family knew him as aloof and distant, but no one knew he had long held a secret love for his moonlight: Shen Nuoran.
Back when turmoil shook his family, he hid his identity and went into exile to avoid trouble. That's when he met Shen Nuoran. Shen was stunningly beautiful and overflowing with sympathy. He was deeply concerned by Qin's act of poverty and gave up on competing for first place to help him.
Qin saw a sincere heart by the light of a crude lamp. But when he finally worked up the courage to confess, Shen Nuoran vanished without a trace. Not long afterward, Qin learned that Shen had been acknowledged by his wealthy family.
Filled with resentment, Qin showed Shen no mercy. But as soon as he heard they were to be married, he eagerly brought Shen home, ready to settle the score slowly.
When he learned that the moon hanging high above had always been gazing at him, he suppressed his joy and gradually led Shen Nuoran to grow suspicious, nudging him to uncover the truth. He deliberately leaked information so Shen could win a round, then lured him to a glittering banquet to meet the real him.
Aloof, handsome, jealous, devoted top x flirtatious, competitive, emotionally clueless bottom
Handsome top, beautiful bottom
[Bonus Scene]
Later, someone asked Qin Yizhou, "What if you can't win your wife's heart?"
Qin Yizhou: "Impossible."
Busybody: "That confident?"
Qin Yizhou: "You don't have a wife. You wouldn't understand."
Busybody (annoyed): "Who was the one batting his eyelashes at a blind man before?"
Shen Nuoran (walking by): "...I'm not blind!"
Note:
1. The bottom is a bit adorably clueless when it comes to matters of the heart, but he's perfectly capable in daily life.
2. The top and bottom are mutually devoted, with a bond as solid as reinforced concrete.
3. As a longtime CP fan... I'll be fair to both sides. I'm great at keeping things balanced.
