Outsiders are intensely curious about who Mrs. Lu is, but Lu Tingdong has sealed off all information about her. No one can find a thing. Mrs. Lu seems like someone who exists only in a legend. The more they hide her, the more mysterious she becomes. Everyone lets their imaginations run wild, believing that Lu Tingdong's secrecy is an expression of his love for his wife, and that prince and princess are a perfect match, destined for each other. Countless innocent hearts are utterly captivated by Lu Tingdong's perfect image. Yet Lin Xi, Mrs. Lu herself, understands that Lu Tingdong keeps her identity secret because he resents being forced into this marriage.

Lu Tingdong pulled away, gazed into her eyes, and said in a low, magnetic voice, "Are you still going to say we have nothing to do with each other?"

Recommended friend's novel: Divorce Afterward by Si Shui Xia Ye

1. In Xiao Jie’s fifth year as a full-time housewife, her husband cheats with his assistant. Their son is hospitalized with pneumonia, and then the mistress sends her a photo of a candlelit dinner with her husband. It is the last straw.

2. Divorce! She wants nothing except their son. Her best friend sends her the number of her husband's cousin, a lawyer. Xiao Jie calls him for the first time. On the other end, the man's voice brushes gently past her ear like a summer afternoon breeze, warm and a little lazy. "Are you sure you want custody of the child?" Xiao Jie is certain. "Yes." The man laughs, nonchalant. "Just a side note: it won't be easy to remarry with a child." Xiao Jie presses her lips together. "I never planned to marry again in this life."

3. When the divorce decree comes through, Xiao Jie invites the lawyer to dinner to thank him. At the Garden Restaurant in the east of town, by an extraordinary coincidence, her ex-husband and his mistress are seated at the next table. Xiao Jie glances at the handsome, refined face across from her, changes direction, and sits down right beside the well-dressed man. "Counselor, would you mind playing the role of my new love?" The man gets into character quickly, reaches out and puts an arm around her, ignoring her ex-husband's face darkening in an instant. With a smile in his eyes, he says, "It would be my pleasure."

...4. Later, he gets so carried away with the role that their pretend romance becomes real.

5. Later still, he starts scheming to make their relationship official. One day, Xiao Jie wakes up to find a diamond ring on the ring finger of her right hand. "I thought we agreed not to get married?" she frowns. The man behind her wraps his arms around her, his gentle gaze growing more heated. "But our son needs a father's love..." His voice grows huskier, coaxing her. "And he should have a companion, too..."

6. Later on, her ex regrets everything. One night, he comes looking for her in the dark. But a man answers the door, his features gentle and his gaze icy. "It's late. What do you want with my wife?"
