The Pretend Couple

A cool, aloof beauty who knows how to reel people in x a pure-hearted rich girl who loves to act cute

Ji Nian made his debut as a child and won Best Actor at twenty-five. He enjoys enormous popularity across the country.

Calm and clear-eyed, professional and careful, he has never been involved in a scandal in twenty years in the business. Everyone considers him the untouchable flower of the entertainment world.

Until one day, he suddenly posted a marriage certificate on Weibo.

@Ji Nian: I love my wife most. @Deng Huo

The internet erupted, and her haters were quick to stir things up: You like that sultry, striking beauty? She's a notorious troublemaker!

So what if she's famous? Ever since her debut, she's been surrounded by controversy!

Wasn't she the one whose skirt was lifted by the young heir of a wealthy family a few days ago?

Wasn't she the one a young idol confessed to, blushing?

That woman never knows when to rein herself in!

Before long, paparazzi released photos of the two of them. Their tall, slender silhouettes looked perfectly in sync beneath the moonlight.

The real kicker: the man had her initials tattooed on the side of his neck.

Onlookers: What's with him? He's so in love!

Deng Huo waved her phone. "So this is a marriage of convenience? Hmm?"

The young man gazed at her with damp eyes, like a kitten caught in the rain. "For the last few years of my life... I want to experience everything fully."

She frowned and posted on Weibo: "Don't do it again."

@Deng Huo: I like you. Head pats. @Ji Nian

In front of the media, several men faced off, ready to fight.

The young heir of the Wen family sneered. "As far as I know, they barely saw each other in college."

Professor Shen smiled faintly. "Miss Deng is devoted to her work. In class, she told me she'd never considered marriage or having children."

The newly popular idol shrugged. "There's no way Big Sis would get married. She only loves her career."

A reporter turned to Ji Nian. "What's your explanation?"

Ji Nian: "Baby, they look so angry."

Deng Huo: "...?"

He gave her cheek a light kiss, his voice lilting at the end.

"It's okay."

Fans: !!!

2. First love for both leads, with wealthy-family elements.

3. A career-focused CEO heroine and a sweet, obedient, love-struck hero (what?)

4. The author is bad at writing blurbs. Please check out the story before you go.

5. The male lead genuinely believes he has a terminal illness and is going to die.
