No future prospects? Wrong! People make their own paths! In the end, her birth family is just a training institution: it teaches women how to behave, how to follow the rules, and how to do needlework, and it even arranges job placement! What great terms... Of course, once you're placed, you can't change jobs... Luckily, she's capable enough to get a discreet referral to work at the Marquis of Anning's residence. Her position: the marquis's principal wife. Her duties are much like those of a personal secretary: see to the marquis's mother's needs, manage the food and clothing, keep his concubines in line, and, most importantly, help the marquis develop his estate into a thriving enterprise that will stand strong for generations... So what if there's no love? Mo Yue is steadily making her way toward a comfortable, happy life! But the Marquis of Anning senses something is amiss. His wife is so capable that he can't live without her. What is he supposed to do? In short, this is the story of a repressed, old-fashioned scholar-official who becomes a devoted husband...

Then, one day at a company banquet, someone snapped a photo of him passionately kissing his own secretary in a corner. Everyone was stunned to realize he was straight! With no one else around, Lu Heng held the young woman in her evening gown close, his voice low and dangerous. "Drinking again? Looks like you've forgotten who you begged last night to let you go." Xia Chenchen's face flushed bright red as she stubbornly protested, "It wasn't me. I didn't. Don't make things up." He smiled faintly. "Fine. Then tonight, I definitely won't let you go."
