Addicted to Married Life

When Shen Li wakes up, she finds herself with a boyfriend. His identity is complicated: he's Fu Xuan, the CEO of their company.

Two months later, Shen Li gets pregnant. The moment a pregnancy test falls out of her bag and Fu Xuan sees it, marriage goes on the agenda.

Fu Xuan: "Marry me, and I'll give you a 1,500-square-meter apartment."

Shen Li looks troubled. "...I..."

Fu Xuan braces both hands on the table. "And a private island for vacations."

Shen Li: "But..."

"A twenty-carat diamond ring, shares in the company, and the properties under my name..."

"Wait, President Fu, keep calm."

-

Fu Xuan is the CEO of the Fu Group, aloof and refined, and uninterested in women. In their social circle, no one is more detached or unfeeling.

Yet this man, so indifferent to romance, does something no one could have foreseen: he transfers an insignificant employee to work as his secretary and protects her, openly and behind the scenes.

Later, they register their marriage. One day after the wedding, Fu Xuan makes her cry. The usually calm and self-possessed man loses his composure and gently coaxes her, pointing to his sexy Adam's apple. "Stop crying. You can bite me, okay?"

-

During her pregnancy, Shen Li is quite demanding. At midnight, she wants strawberries, and they have to be freshly picked. Fu Xuan runs all over half the city to make her happy.

When his childhood friend hears about it, he teases him. "Didn't you say you'd divorce six months after getting married? It's been more than six months. When are you two getting divorced?"

Fu Xuan sinks into the sofa and slowly raises his eyelids. His voice is cool and clear. "Never."

-

There is a cabinet in Fu Xuan's study that is always kept locked. One day, Shen Li goes into the study to look for something and finds the cabinet door open. Curiosity gets the better of her. Inside, she sees a wish jar filled with little paper stars, along with some slips of paper.

She recognizes the handwriting on them. It's hers.

Shen Li: "???!!!"

Everyone thinks their marriage is simply a matter of each getting what they want. Only Fu Xuan knows how deeply obsessed he is with her.

Alone on a deserted island, he finally waited for that beam of light.

Coming soon: The Little One Finds Mom a Husband

Marriage first, love later #AdorableKidFindsDad

One-line pitch: Mom's husband is missing, so the little one has to find him.

At a coffee shop, Ji Yanbai is on a blind date when a cute little kid walks up, tugs on his sleeve, and calls in a sweet, babyish voice, "Daddy."

Ji Yanbai furrows his brows, about to say something, but the child tugs on his suit collar, rises on tiptoe, and kisses his cheek. "Daddy, I've missed you so much."

Ji Yanbai: "..."

-

The baby has a photo album. The adults say the man in the pictures is Mom's husband. After a lot of searching, the baby finally finds him. The first time they meet, the man is on a blind date. The baby kisses him, and the date falls through.

The baby secretly celebrates: Hehe.

The second time they meet, the man is at the movies with a woman. The baby pretends to trip in front of him, then successfully ends up sitting on his lap. The baby wraps their arms around his neck and says, "Daddy, you really don't want me anymore?"

Ji Yanbai: "..."

By their Nth meeting, the baby has red-rimmed eyes and says, "Daddy's so mean. He doesn't love me or Mommy."

Ji Yanbai is the head of the Ji family, cold and aloof, and uninterested in women. His elders have worn themselves out worrying about his marriage and keep arranging blind dates for him.

He only goes to humor them. At first, it's easy enough to exchange a few pleasantries and leave. But at some point, every blind date starts being interrupted by an adorable little kid calling him Daddy.

Ji Yanbai smiles faintly. "Little one, you've got the wrong person."

The baby juts out their chin and raises their brows. "I didn't get the wrong person. I've got proof!"

Ji Yanbai: "..."

Sang Miao has a mischievous son called Baby. Every night before bed, Baby asks her to tell stories about "Daddy," and Sang Miao can only keep recalling everything about that man.

One day, Baby suddenly says in a mysterious voice, "Mommy, Daddy didn't go to space. I found him."

Sang Miao: "...Baby, don't just go around calling people Daddy."

Sang Miao has a secret she has kept to herself: she has had a crush on Fu Yanbai for years. After one drunken, reckless night, she ran away in the middle of the night. She thought they would never meet again, but who knew she'd get lucky?

Sang Miao: What rotten luck.

Four years later, they meet again. Ji Yanbai pins her against the bathroom wall and traces her cheek with his cool, pale fingertips. "Sang Miao, are you going to run away again?"

Sang Miao's teeth chatter. "N-no, I'm not."

Ji Yanbai always thought it was just a dream he desperately wanted to come true. When he woke up, there would be nothing.

But it turned out he had everything. This time, he wouldn't let Sang Miao get away.
