Pei Tingxue is a laughingstock among the wealthy.
He married into the wealthy Fu family through underhanded means. His husband despises him and hardly ever comes home.
His in-laws dislike him and barely speak to him.
No matter how perfect and devoted a spouse he is, his stepson still refuses to accept him.
But even though Pei Tingxue spends every day alone in an empty house, he is convinced that his husband will love him eventually and goes to great lengths to see him.
Everyone thinks he is madly in love with Fu Heng.

Then one day, Fu Heng, who hadn't come home in half a year, got drunk, and his clueless new assistant brought him over to Pei Tingxue's place.
Pei Tingxue was delighted. "Honey, you're home!"
[Why is this old man here? Oh my god, what if he gets frisky while drunk?]
Fu Heng: ?
[Don't panic, don't panic. He's nearly forty, so he's definitely all show and no go. He's past his prime.]
Fu Heng: ??
He's only 30!
Fu Lin, his stepson, wanted to play esports, but Fu Heng wouldn't let him, so he ran away from home in a huff.
Pei Tingxue found him and gently tried to reason with him. "Your dad only wants what's best for you."
[This noob thinks he can play esports? A chicken could play better if you scattered rice over the keyboard.]
[He actually believes the shady club manager praising him as a genius just to get his money. Doesn't he know his real talent is math?]
Fu Lin: ...
The wealthy mother-in-law brings Fu Heng's childhood sweetheart home to make things awkward for him.
Pei Tingxue: "My husband would never like her!"
[She doesn't like my husband either. She likes your husband, hahaha.]
Wealthy mother-in-law: ???
