Busy working... saving up chapters!
As the beloved youngest and only daughter of the Zhu family, a famous hotel chain magnate in Jingbei, Zhu Nianxi has had everything go her way since childhood. Her two older brothers compete to shower her with jewelry, while her parents pave the way for her to enter the entertainment industry. After joining the industry in college, she quickly shot to fame, becoming a top actress in less than two years. Online, people affectionately call her the nation’s little sister.
Recently, Nianxi has had a problem.
Her family wants to arrange a marriage alliance between her and the Zhao family.
The marriage alliance itself isn’t the problem. The problem is her prospective match: Zhao Xujin, the renowned head of the Zhao family. He is eight years older than her and, according to rumor, a stern traditionalist whom all the younger members of his family fear. All he ever does is work and exercise. He has no fun at all.
Most importantly, in the only public interview where he ever revealed anything about his private life, he said he liked women who could help him with his career and hated spoiled young ladies most of all.
Nianxi, who ticks every one of his boxes for things he can’t stand: ...

After their wedding, Zhao Xujin lays out three rules for her:
First, for various reasons, they will keep their marriage secret for the time being.
Second, they will have sex twice a week.
Third, his study is full of confidential documents, so she must not enter without his permission.
Nianxi: ... Oh.
Later, paparazzi photograph Zhu Nianxi getting into the same car as a popular movie star after a celebratory banquet.
That night, when Nianxi opens the door and comes home, a hand reaches out of the darkness and pulls her into an intensely possessive embrace.
“Back at last?” Zhao Xujin kisses her again and again, his voice thick with affection. “Your lawful husband has been waiting for you at home all night.”
After countless cries of “Hubby,” Nianxi is carried into the study. Sipping the water he gives her, she sweetly settles a score with him: “I thought you said I wasn’t your type.”
“...You’re the exception.”

A few days later, a video begins circulating online.
In the dim light of night, Zhu Nianxi is held in a man’s arms. Only half of her delicate profile can be seen as he kisses her until she can barely catch her breath.
The whole internet erupts, wondering which lucky man he is.
The Jinghe Group’s official account is the first to repost the video and claim him: “That’s our boss.”
Netizens: ...!?
A note for readers:
This is my take on the entertainment industry. Please don’t equate it with the real industry. The entertainment-industry content also isn’t a major part of the story, so just enjoy it for fun.
