They appear to be a loving married couple, but in private they keep out of each other’s affairs and live their own lives. While everyone envies them, Li Anyi stays clearheaded and keeps the contract in mind. All he wants is to get divorced when the time comes and regain his freedom.

After his father remarried, he was treated as a burden to the family. When his family faces ruin, he is naturally the one they cast aside, sending him to the wealthy and influential Yu family to marry into their household as the husband of their frail, sickly second daughter. But on the eve of the wedding, the second young lady dies unexpectedly. Before long, rumors label Xie Feiran a “mother-killer” and a “wife-killer.” Exhausted in body and mind, he ignores everyone’s pointing fingers and attends the funeral as her fiancé all the same. As the Yu elders are overcome with grief, they vent all their emotions on him. Just as the weight of their negativity leaves him tottering, a strong pair of arms wraps around his waist and holds him steady. The scene stuns everyone. The Yu family’s eldest son, Yu Yan, is handsome, but cold and taciturn, always wearing an aloof expression. Whenever he sees Xie Feiran, his dark eyes seem to be scrutinizing him, making him impossible to read. Still, perhaps he loves his sister so much that he loves everyone she loves. Whenever he buys her a mountain of gifts, he never forgets to buy some for Xie Feiran, too. At his sister’s funeral, this same man wraps an arm around Xie Feiran’s waist in front of everyone and calmly declares: “My sister didn’t give him a title. I will.” #I’mNotAfraidYou’llBringMisfortuneToYourHusband Title: My Childhood Friend, the Campus Heartthrob, Is Acting Strange Blurb: Tang Yi’s childhood friend, the campus heartthrob, is aloof and homophobic.
