A clueless, career-obsessed blockhead 0.7 x a fake-ice-queen, actually sly and seductive, heiress 0.3
1. Everyone in the compound knew that Lin Chao, the poor cadre from the Lin family who had been sent to the countryside, had married into a powerful family.
Yin Mu, the eldest daughter of the Yin family: a mysterious clan, a top financial power, and an aloof, refined beauty on a distant peak.
On the day they met for their arranged marriage, Yin Mu wore a cold expression and didn't even look at her directly. But when Lin Chao went to pay the bill, Yin Mu's gaze lingered for two seconds on Lin Chao's reflection in the glass.
Lin Chao was a clueless blockhead with her mind full of agricultural support KPIs. She planted kiwifruit by day and livestreamed sales by night. She thought this was just a marriage of convenience where they would each mind their own business. After all, Yin Mu wouldn't even look at her, let alone fulfill her wifely duties.
Until one day, Yin Mu came to "inspect" the orchard.
She accidentally appeared in Lin Chao's livestream for three seconds, and Lin Chao's unsold kiwifruit sold out in an instant.
After getting a taste of success, Lin Chao became a shameless career fanatic. She threw her arms around Yin Mu's leg and treated her like a secret weapon for driving traffic.
Lin Chao grinned without a care in the world. "Sorry, honey. It's not that I don't love you, but your face is just too valuable."
Late that night, Secretary Lin had been livestreaming nonstop for three days, and her hands shook so much she could barely hold the product samples.
Under the table, out of sight of the camera, an expensive pair of custom-made stockings was suggestively hooked around her ankle.
The heiress who had been so aloof and refined during the day now had red eyes. In a breathy whisper only the two of them could hear, she nibbled at Lin Chao's ear.
"Secretary Lin, using me to make money? Can you afford the interest I'll charge?"

In the third month of their contract marriage, Yin Mu dropped her act.
She had once pretended to slip in the bath, giving Lin Chao an excuse to carry her to the master bedroom. She said her arm hurt so the blockhead would fasten her bra. She even deliberately got drunk and buried her face in Lin Chao's neck, greedily inhaling her scent.
Unable to withstand Yin Mu's teasing, Lin Chao finally begged, "Honey... can we change our wifely duties from once a day to twice a week? I have to haul kiwifruit during the day. I don't have the strength..."
Yin Mu's gaze darkened as it swept over Lin Chao's reddened eyes. She smiled, gentle and dangerous.
"Fine. Two nights a week, then. You can lie down and rest properly."
A week later, the villagers noticed that Secretary Lin's dark circles had gotten worse.
Her hands no longer shook, but her legs trembled like a sieve. She was so weak she looked drained of life, and even her collar couldn't hide the red marks and bite imprints on her collarbone.
Lin Chao typed at the village committee office, wiping away tears as she went. "Waaah, you liar... You said two days a week. How is it three times a day..."

Later, the agricultural support project was a great success, and Lin Chao got the transfer back to the city she had been hoping for.
Before leaving, she sensibly handed Yin Mu a divorce agreement.
"Miss Yin, our contract is over. I wish you all the best."
She left without a trace, never looking back, as if their three-year marriage had been nothing more than a stepping stone in her career.
Lin Chao thought someone as proud as Yin Mu would be eager to get rid of a poor burden like her.
Until six months later, when Lin Chao was surveying the border region and got caught in a mudslide. After she had been missing for seven days, the authorities declared her "dead in an accident."
Lin Chao thought they would go their separate ways forever, each returning to dust and earth.
Then one day, as she helped the rescue team tend to the wounded at a temporary shelter, someone suddenly flung open the tent flap.
The eldest daughter of the Yin family, who was always poised, aloof, and disdainful before the cameras, now had bloodshot eyes and was covered in mud. She clutched a torn, bloodstained jacket in her hand.
She stared at Lin Chao, safe and unharmed, then rushed forward and kissed her without warning, forcing her tongue into Lin Chao's mouth. Only when she tasted blood did she shudder and pull away.
Yin Mu pressed her lips to Lin Chao's earlobe and whispered. Her eyes were rimmed red, tears rolling down her cheeks as she choked out, "Lin Chao, the agreement is void. Let's be together forever, okay?"
