Being Sweet in Your Heart

Lin Nianjiao is a minor actress in the entertainment industry. Even after secretly marrying a powerful bigwig, the roles she gets remain just as insignificant. Her best friend urges her to cozy up to her husband, but Lin Nianjiao calmly waves her off. "We're not close."

That night, Lin Nianjiao wears a cropped camisole and goes clubbing with her best friend.

"A man who only knows how to work could never be as appealing as the cute guys who know how to dance."

As soon as she says it, she turns around and meets the man's cool gaze. Her tongue ties itself in knots, and she grabs her friend's hand. "Am I drunk? I could've sworn the man behind me looks familiar."

Yu Lianqi has always known that his new wife doesn't like him. As soon as they got their marriage certificate and added each other as friends, she blocked his messages. But he doesn't mind. Love takes time to grow.

But one day, when he catches Lin Nianjiao staring unabashedly at an actor from the same production, Yu Lianqi can no longer keep up his cold facade. He strides over to block her view and leans close to her ear, his breath warm. "If you like handsome guys, why not take a better look at me?"

Lin Nianjiao looks excitedly at her husband, then turns to see her senior schoolmate visiting the set alongside her male idol. She shoves Yu Lianqi's cold face away. "Go away. Don't interrupt me shipping this couple."

Lin Nianjiao has never known why Yu Lianqi married her. Given his status, marrying her when her family was nearly bankrupt was practically an act of charity.

Until one day, she opens the photo album she hadn't finished looking through and discovers that in every solo picture on the later pages, she appears in the background.

"So you liked me even back then."

Yu Lianqi gently embraces her from behind, lowering his head to her neck. His voice is full of temptation. "So, Mrs. Yu, how are you going to respond?"

Lu Ning and Jiang Yicheng have been married for three years, but there's practically no affection between them.

The day she discovers a divorce agreement already signed and waiting in the study, an unexpected accident throws her perception into confusion.

She believes she's just a professional actress Jiang Yicheng hired to help him fend off his family's pressure to get married, and that she only needs to play the part of a loving couple in front of his family.

Where else could she find a job with so little work and such good pay?

Jiang Yicheng is the best boss imaginable.

After being discharged from the hospital, Lu Ning keeps up her act as Mrs. Jiang, who's deeply in love with her husband.

Looking at the huge paycheck she receives each month, she beams and boasts to people who make fun of her: "My husband and I get along wonderfully. Our love is unbreakable."

A few months later, Lu Ning gradually returns to normal. Remembering the embarrassing things she said, she just wants to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

She hurriedly packs her bags, but as soon as she steps outside, she runs into a man smiling as he slowly loosens his tie.

"Where do you think you're going?"

At Jiang Yicheng's words, Lu Ning immediately pulls out the divorce agreement and thrusts it in his face. "Your loving-wife experience has expired. Thank you for your excellent performance during this time."

Jiang Yicheng shakes his head frantically. "Mmmph, mmmph..."
