Wei Qingxu has been writing songs for years. Naturally quiet, he's never become a big name.

At nineteen, two things happened.

First, he was invited to appear on a music variety show, where he was framed and became the target of a flood of negative publicity. He made more headlines and trending topics than ever before in his life.

Second, he accidentally married a famous tycoon.

The tycoon sat across from him, utterly cold. "I'm not a fan. I'm not interested in you. Don't get any ideas."

"This is just a marriage of convenience."

"This card has no spending limit. Use it."

Wei Qingxu: "!"

His husband-to-be was handsome and rich, didn't want his love, but gave him money. Could life get any better?

Wei Qingxu strictly follows the tycoon's rules for married life.

They don't reveal their relationship publicly, avoid crossing paths as much as possible, he diligently spends the tycoon's money, and they keep their distance in public, never letting anyone catch on.

And then the tycoon starts acting... stranger and stranger.

#This is my wife, so why does everyone else call him their wife too#

#My wife is gorgeous, dances so beautifully, has such a lovely voice, and is so beautiful#

#What do you mean, shipping them? Who's the guy hanging around my wife#

#My wife hasn't even spent ten million this month#

One day, later on.

Wei Qingxu got the time wrong and accidentally broke the rule about never being in the bedroom at the same time.

Wearing a bathrobe, his hair damp at the ends, he sincerely apologized to Shang Lie. "Sorry, Mr. Shang. I'll head back right away."

Shang Lie's Adam's apple tightened. He loosened his collar.

If only there were a time machine.

He hated the version of himself who had written that agreement.

Everyone thought Wei Qingxu was young and had no one backing him, so he was bound to fall from grace.

Until one day, a photo made the front page: The heir to the Shang family attended an entertainment gala and, surrounded by the media, fiercely shielded the handsome young man in his arms. The diamond ring on his hand glittered brilliantly.

People finally learned that Wei Qingxu's most unhinged fan was none other than the heir to the Shang family, a man who would kill anyone who stood in his way, be it man or god.
