Jiang Yuran, a B-list actress, has been secretly married to Xu Zechuan, a top power player in the capital, for two years. Their contract expires today.
Paparazzi from all over the internet are waiting outside, ready to capture Jiang Yuran being thrown out and reduced to a disgraced rich man's ex-wife.
As Jiang Yuran grabs her suitcase and prepares to make a run for freedom, his assistant tearfully stops her at the door.
Xu Zechuan hasn't even had a chance to sign the divorce papers when he gets into a car accident!
In the hospital room, the usually aloof and chaste President Xu has his head wrapped in bandages, his eyes broken and aggrieved.
When he sees Jiang Yuran, he clings to her like she's his only lifeline, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist. "Honey, where are you going? Don't leave me!"
Jiang Yuran: ?
Doctor: The accident damaged his brain. You're all he can think about now.
Jiang Yuran, who doesn't want to return to the rich household as a live-in nanny, replies coldly, "Our contractual marriage is over. I only want to focus on my career now."
The assistant immediately produces a new contract. "Take care of President Xu for three months, and you'll get 300 million, plus the female lead role in an S+-tier xianxia drama. Is that enough?"
Jiang Yuran's eyes light up. "Deal!"
And so, the supposedly divorced couple are repeatedly caught on camera:
Xu Zechuan holding up her dress train backstage at an awards ceremony,
Xu Zechuan peeling grapes for her on set,
Xu Zechuan accidentally appearing on her livestream, just to ask for a hug...
The whole internet is shocked:
How is she a disgraced rich man's ex-wife?
She's clearly got a devoted husband!
Jiang Yuran uses Xu Zechuan's connections to climb the celebrity ladder at full speed, all while admiring the zeros in her bank account, perfectly content.
She has it all planned out: once his memory comes back, she'll leave with her money and her career at its peak.
Until one day, Xu Zechuan regains his memory.
Jiang Yuran hurriedly packs her things in the middle of the night to make a getaway, only to find him blocking the door.
Xu Zechuan stretches out an arm, pinning her between the door and his chest. His voice is low and husky, thick with jealousy:
"Who's that young heartthrob rumored to be dating you after the red-carpet event today?"
"Why does he get to call you big sister?"
"Is he as handsome as me?"
