Feng Ningning has fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs, yet nobody ever pursues her. She always thought the problem was with her, but after a car accident, Feng Ningning discovers she can see things ordinary people can't.
At first, she's terrified. But she soon realizes that these things not only won't hurt her, they treat her with the utmost respect and grant her every request.
Only after she bravely asks does Feng Ningning understand: she's the reincarnation of the King of the Underworld's wife. She was born without any romantic luck, and if she wants to fall in love, she has to go back and marry the King of the Underworld.
Feng Ningning: Hah.
Who would want to marry a ghost? And she heard the King of the Underworld is already a thousand years old. He's bound to be old and ugly.
If nobody pursues her, can't she pursue someone herself?
The handsome young man who's just moved in across the hall seems like a great choice. He has poor eyesight, but his eyes are beautiful. Whenever he looks at Feng Ningning, they sparkle with light, more enchanting than any scenery in the world.
"You're amazing, big sis. You can even catch ghosts."
"As long as you're good to me, I can give up anything."
"If you're happy, I'm happy. Anyone who bullies you is my enemy."
…
Feng Ningning is over the moon and takes the handsome young man home. Then she suddenly remembers something. "You're an adult, right? How old are you?"
Handsome young man: Exactly one thousand years old.
Feng Ningning: … Get lost! You old green-tea schemer!
Blurb: At the awards ceremony, Guan Ningxiang is dressed to the nines, yet a man steals the spotlight from her. Dressed in custom-made pure white, he exudes an air of cool elegance and nobility. A single casual glance from him throws the whole venue into an uproar.
The manager gazes at the man's stunning profile and asks in confusion, "Is that Qi Xiyu, the guy who shot to fame with a single movie before he'd even returned to the country? Why does he look so familiar? I feel like I've seen him somewhere."
Guan Ningxiang catches the man's gaze across the crowd and calmly replies, "On my marriage certificate."
The manager: "Huh?"
Guan Ningxiang: "He's my husband."
The manager: !!!

After Guan Ningxiang and Qi Xiyu marry by agreement, they live in separate countries.
Two years later, when they meet again to discuss a divorce, a reality dating show comes knocking with an astronomical offer.
Guan Ningxiang: I'm not usually swayed by money, unless there's enough of it. So, maybe we shouldn't get divorced just yet?
[Special Episode]
As soon as the news breaks that rising best actor Qi Xiyu and popular actress Guan Ningxiang will appear on a dating show, a mysterious source reveals that their marriage is only a contractual arrangement, setting off a huge uproar.
The show begins.
Episode One: Guan Ningxiang livestreams herself cooking at home and accidentally burns her finger, leaving a tiny red mark the size of a grain of rice. That very night, Qi Xiyu, who was supposed to be in another city, comes home.
Netizens: He'd better hurry, or we won't even be able to find the injury.
Episode Two: Qi Xiyu visits Guan Ningxiang on set and happens to see her filming an intimate scene. He treats everyone to dinner and gets the male lead dead drunk.
Netizens: We know you're not jealous. You just have a high alcohol tolerance.
Episode N: Guan Ningxiang has a sleepwalking episode in the middle of the night and wanders into the living room, where the cameras haven't been taken down. Curled up on the sofa like a kitten, she looks dejected.
Qi Xiyu talks to her carefully. "Why are you sad?"
Guan Ningxiang: "We haven't even kissed today. Is my dog seeing some other kitty outside?"
Qi Xiyu: "...Let's go to the bedroom and kiss."
Guan Ningxiang tilts her head back. "No, right here!"
Netizens: !!!
Is this something we're allowed to watch for free?
And you call this a contractual marriage?!
Theme: The power of love.
It's so sweet, but it's really too short, sob sob.
Your Majesty, I can't get enough of you, sob sob sob.
