[Main story complete. My new novel, Showing Off Our Love with the Villain in a Tragic Romance, is now underway!]

Ling Shuangbai is a wealthy and influential business magnate in Beicheng, handsome, rich, and chaste. There are enough people who want to marry him to circle the entire city several times, and every day someone is secretly plotting to get his attention.

Only Ye Chuying stops him in the middle of the street and asks him openly, "Mr. Ling, can I cut in line?"

Ling Shuangbai and Ye Chuying, who had been betrothed as children, got their marriage licenses and made a gentleman's agreement: keep the marriage secret, discuss business but not feelings.

After the wedding, Ye Chuying entered the entertainment industry with her stunning beauty and became an overnight sensation, with more work than she could handle.

Watching his wife laugh and chat with handsome men every day while barely mentioning her husband, Ling Shuangbai regretted their arrangement bitterly.

Under every news story about Ye Chuying, people lined up to call her "wife."

Once, a host asked Ye Chuying in an interview, "What do you think about your fans calling you 'wife'?"

Ye Chuying replied, "Maybe they shouldn't. My husband gets jealous easily."

The comments under the story were full of people calling her "wife."

Not long after, netizens spotted a new account called [Ling Shuangbai] posting a Weibo.

[My wife @Ye Chuying.]

Netizens: [Hahaha, a strange new ship has appeared.]

[Does Mr. Ling not know you have to verify your Weibo account? doge]

[If those two are married, I'll do a handstand xx]

Soon, [Ling Shuangbai] was verified: current chairman of the Ling Group, and the legal husband of famous actress Ye Chuying.

Netizens: ...Holy crap!!!

Blurb: Lu Jianqing is the most difficult person to deal with in Nancheng's business world. He puts profit first in everything. Even when it came to marriage, from among a group of potential partners, he chose the decisive and ruthless eldest daughter of the Chu family, a woman who could support his career.

But after getting their marriage license, Lu Jianqing discovered that his wife was Chu Jing, the eldest daughter's twin sister.

Though the sisters looked alike, their personalities were worlds apart. The second young lady of the Chu family was as soft and fluffy as a little bunny. Before Lu Jianqing could even get angry, she was already crying so hard she could barely speak, as if she were the one who'd been deceived.

Lu Jianqing stared at the little beauty mark at the corner of her eye, red from crying, and found himself unable to say anything harsh.

Everyone assumed that Chu Jing had tricked Lu Jianqing into marrying her, and that she was bound to suffer for it. Even if he didn't divorce her, surely he'd treat her coldly.

But not long after the wedding, a friend came over and had just pulled out a cigarette when Lu Jianqing stopped him. "Don't smoke in the house. Chuchu can't stand the smell. I've quit already."

His friend: ???

Lu Jianqing always thought he was only accommodating Chu Jing because he didn't want the hassle.

Until one day, he came home unexpectedly and saw through the not-quite-closed bedroom door that his timid, fragile little bunny of a wife, who couldn't stand the smell of smoke, was lazily leaning against the headboard with a cigarette between her fingers. In a seductive voice he'd never heard from her before, she was talking to someone on the phone. "Uncle, my husband isn't home tonight. Want to come over?"

Lu Jianqing was consumed by jealousy and shoved the door open.

Chu Jing was so startled that her phone fell from her hand. It wasn't even turned on.

Lu Jianqing looked at the professional voice-over equipment in the room, fell silent for a few seconds, then went over and pinned Chu Jing against the headboard. "Call me Uncle."

Chu Jing: ???
