One did it for money, the other to appease their parents, and they rarely saw each other after the wedding. One was thriving in the entertainment industry, with rumors swirling everywhere. The other was a famous figure in the investment world, surrounded by beautiful women. One day, Xu Qing attended a dinner and raised a glass to a powerful investor. Looking at the tall man sitting beside her, she thought he looked familiar. After dinner. Gu Sui sat in the back seat with his eyes closed, resting. In a low voice, he said, "That woman who toasted me just now looked familiar." His assistant answered from the front, "She's your wife, Xu Qing." Gu Sui opened his eyes. "...Oh?" - Not long afterward, a variety show called Let's Fall in Love became a sensation. Xu Qing appeared on the show with an actor from the industry. Gu Sui happened to see it.
