Qiao Yixin had been married to Qi Yan, heir to the Qiji Group, for two years, and had seen him only three times.
The first time, a financial crash caused the Qiao family's funds to dry up. Just after graduating from film school, Qiao Yixin was married off to the Qi family.
On a stormy day, the man wore a black suit. After signing the papers at the Civil Affairs Bureau, he set down the pen and flew straight back to the group's overseas headquarters without stopping for a moment.
The second time, Qiao's father passed away. On a snowy day, the man flew home in a private jet, dressed in a black suit, to carry the coffin.
The third time...
Qiao Yixin and Qi Yan had been living apart for two years. The Qiao family had fallen completely into ruin. Feeling utterly carefree, Qiao Yixin had drawn up a divorce agreement in which she left with nothing, and was just waiting for the man to come back and sign it.
She was ready to shed the empty title of Qiji Group's crown princess and start over in show business from the very bottom.
As luck would have it, a major domestic film was about to begin production. Qiao Yixin did her homework and secretly auditioned under an assumed name, only to land a role even lower than a bit part: the female lead's stunt double.
A stunt double it was, then. One day, she'd make her way on her own merits and have her rich sponsor grovel at her feet.
On the night of the film's launch party, a sandstorm delayed the female lead's flight. Wearing a costume identical to the star's, Qiao Yixin had barely entered the venue when reporters mistook her for the lead and surrounded her.
In her panicked attempt to escape, she crashed into a cool, inviting embrace.
The man furrowed his brow, and the entire venue fell silent in an instant.
No wonder there was a sandstorm today. The Qi family's heir, who'd been tricked into this marriage, was back!
The man wore the same classic black suit he seemed to have worn for two years. He looked down at her with dark eyes, a hint of amusement in his gaze.
"Wife, here to pick me up?"
!!!!!
"I'm not, I didn't, don't call me that! I'm still a vir..."
Qiao Yixin turned to run, but the man grabbed her by the waist. His lips sealed hers before she could finish the word.
The cameras flashed wildly at the party. With his lips pressed to hers, Qiao Yixin heard his voice, inaudible to everyone else.
"Oh? Not for long!"
That night, besides the raging sandstorm, three unexpected things happened.
First, the entertainment world was flooded with reports that a certain actress had secretly married the heir to Qiji Group.
Second, the usually staid, news-broadcast-style official account of Qiji Group posted: Mrs. Qi is a Virgo, Mr. Qi is a Scorpio. A loving couple with compatible star signs.
Third, Qiao Yixin never imagined that her bold words would come true that very night. Her rich sponsor was on his knees at her feet, but she was the one who cried all night.
