Fairies, please add this to your favorites! Straightforward, dazzling actress x arrogant, sharp-tongued, devoted puppy / Swan Princess x Young Master Blurb: Shen Qingluo is a top-tier beauty in the entertainment industry, with nothing going for her except her looks. She has been married for a year by contract to Lu Yuanshen, the head of the Lu Group. The last time they appeared together was for their wedding certificate photo, and they wore the words “married in name only” all over their faces. Her antis never stop hoping: When will the big shot kick Shen Qingluo out? A dating variety show comes knocking. Shen Qingluo isn't interested at first, but her nemesis taunts her for having a marriage of convenience and not daring to reveal her supposedly mysterious husband. Fuming, Shen Qingluo seeks out the husband in name only. “Mr. Lu, this time I have a business proposition for you.” Lu Yuanshen: “All right.” The dating show Let's Go on a Date announces that several celebrity couples will join. On the day it premieres, everyone else appears as a couple, while Shen Qingluo stands alone in front of the cameras. Her antis mock her, her nemesis is delighted, and Shen Qingluo is mortified. She curses the two-faced man under her breath for breaking his promise. Suddenly, a deep, pleasant voice comes from behind her. “Sorry, I'm late.” A handsome man, cool and refined, walks toward the stunned Shen Qingluo. His voice is gentle. “Mrs. Lu, still angry? I was at fault last night.” Her antis and her nemesis: Shen Qingluo must have used some underhanded trick to force the big shot to come. As the contrast to the other celebrity couples, Shen Qingluo knows perfectly well that she and Lu Yuanshen hardly know each other, let alone have any chemistry. The sun is blazing outside, and Lu Yuanshen opens an umbrella for her. “Mrs. Lu has such delicate skin. If the sun burns you, it pains me.” In the middle of the night, Shen Qingluo gets hungry. Lu Yuanshen rolls up his sleeves and cooks for her himself. “Mrs. Lu, would you like your favorite little wontons or noodles with shredded pork?” When it's time for the show to hand out fanservice, Lu Yuanshen says solemnly, “Could you turn off the cameras? Mrs. Lu is shy.” The CP fans cry out: This is so sweet! Shen Qingluo's career keeps flourishing, and everyone has overlooked her real talent because of her beauty. Then netizens realize that Lu Yuanshen is the one who spoiled her into being so willful. At the show's post-finale interview, the baby-question brigade finally arrives: “Mr. Lu, would you prefer a little princess or a little prince?” Lu Yuanshen takes Shen Qingluo's hand and kisses it, saying tenderly, “You will always be my little princess.” CP fans: The Qingyuan couple is forever! I've swallowed the key. Shen Qingluo plans to discuss a divorce once filming is over. When Lu Yuanshen finds out, he tears up their agreement right in front of her. “Mrs. Lu, we are a real married couple. We got our marriage certificate and shared a bed.” Shen Qingluo is furious. “Lu Yuanshen, you're cheating!” Cool, aloof little princess x scheming tycoon Blurb written on March 22, 2021.

You can offend anyone, but don't offend the arrogant young master of the Xu family. The day they first meet, cicadas sing in the height of summer.

Why take it seriously, Mr. Xu?” The man laughs in anger and calls her by name. “Then I'll let you keep playing.” Outside, rain pours down. Xia Xingli's voice is calm and emotionless. “I don't take trash.” -----That summer, amid the cicadas' song, I met you.
