Ever since Wen Rongrong entered showbiz, she had been an obscure, bottom-tier actress. At last, one of her dramas became a hit and she enjoyed a brief spell of fame, only for news to break that she was secretly married. The variety show she had already negotiated for was immediately given to someone else.
The person who exposed her was the second female lead from her previous production. Gloating, she thought that with her opportunities gone and her reputation in ruins, Wen Rongrong could go home and sit around doing nothing.
Troubled by the exposure of her secret marriage, Wen Rongrong was suddenly approached by a married-couples variety show that wanted her and her husband as regular guests.
Wen Rongrong hesitated. After telling her husband, she still looked worried. "Th-then... all right."
The production team secretly rejoiced. This couple was surely on bad terms, which meant the show would have plenty to talk about.
In reality, they weren't on bad terms at all. They were married by contract. To pursue her dream of becoming an actress, Wen Rongrong had signed a two-year marriage agreement with Lu Ming, the heir to a wealthy family. Even if she never became famous, she would still have to be his wife in name for two years.
She had assumed he wouldn't agree to appear on a variety show, but the man accepted almost immediately.
But once the show began...
Lu Ming did the cooking and all the housework. He even took care of every detail for their mountain-climbing trip, leaving Wen Rongrong with nothing to worry about.
Lu Ming went out to dinner with his friends one evening. Wen Rongrong hadn't even said a word when several videos from the gathering were already sent to her.
Wen Rongrong: ?
Lu Ming: Reporting in. There are absolutely no women here.
Wen Rongrong simply shared a picture of a beautiful antique dressing case with Lu Ming. Before long, the man gave her one that looked almost exactly the same, filled with all kinds of jewelry and accessories.
Wen Rongrong: This is...
Lu Ming: I made the case myself. If you don't like the styles inside, you can use my card to pick out your own.
Viewers: I'm shipping them so hard! This is way more entertaining than the other variety show!
Wen Rongrong: This doesn't seem quite in line with our agreement. Weren't you just using me to fend off your family's pressure to get married?
What she didn't know was that there had never been any pressure to marry. Their marriage contract... had been his long-planned scheme all along.
