Wealthy Family, Down-to-Earth Edition
Ming You has severe face blindness.
Especially when it comes to men. After seeing someone once, she can't remember his face the next time they meet. It doesn't matter, though. It has never caused her any significant problems.
After returning from two years of studying film directing abroad, the first thing she does is prepare to develop her own IP.
As a perfectionist, she has to handle everything herself, and casting is one of her top priorities.
Although she is face-blind, she can still tell whether someone is handsome or ugly. After auditioning wave after wave of people, she finally settles on a cast for her new series.
During the process, she meets a very strange man named Zhou Weixia. He is fixated on her face blindness and always needs to confirm whether she remembers him.
He also constantly asks about her husband.
"Teacher Ming, with your face blindness, do you ever forget what your husband looks like?"
Ming You gives a fake smile. "Of course not."
The corners of his mouth lift in a mocking smile.
Ming You assumes there's something wrong with him.
But her good fortune doesn't last long. The investors demand that she replace one of the leads with someone else, and the role they're taking away is Zhou Weixia's.
Ming You stares at the message on her computer, unsure what to do, when the housekeeper suddenly tells her:
"Miss, your husband is back."
Ming You is startled. That's right, she has a husband. Before she can close her laptop and get up, a hand with long, distinct knuckles opens the door and walks toward her.
The man shows no expression, but Ming You feels that he's unhappy. After all, anyone would be upset if their wife left them at home for two years.
Zhou Weixia deliberately steps past the comfortable distance and glances at Ming You's computer screen without saying a word.
Ming You adjusts her glasses. "It's been two years... dear."
Honestly, she's really forgotten his name.
Zhou Weixia frowns, looking even more displeased. He taps beside the keyboard and grits out, "Replace... Zhou Weixia. Ming You, do you know my name?"
Ming You is at a loss. That voice, those mannerisms...
She quickly scans the screen and looks at the man in front of her. Then, in a flash of inspiration, the truth hits her like thunder. She wants to crawl into a hole, but can't find one.
She remembers now. Her husband might be named Zhou Weixia!
