Shen Peiyao was once a hugely popular young actress. After getting married, she switched to working behind the scenes to support her husband's career.
This time, the two of them signed up for a variety show that promised to push contestants to their limits.
But a voice that suddenly sounded in her ear caught her completely off guard.
[Shen Peiyao, you idiot! You don't even know Chen Yu has been secretly flirting with me.]
Shen Peiyao blinked. What the heck?
She instinctively looked around. The new ingenue was watching her. Their eyes met, and the ingenue gave her a gentle smile. "Sister Shen, would you like some water?"
"Oh, yes." Shen Peiyao reached out.
[Of course she's the kind who throws her weight around. Poor Chen Yu, having to put up with someone like her.]
Shen Peiyao: "!!!"
Shen Peiyao secretly followed the ingenue.
"Chen Yu." The ingenue's voice was soft and delighted. "You're so amazing!"
Her husband instantly turned into a puppy wagging its tail.
Shen Peiyao: "..."
She quietly pulled out the fish-scaling knife behind her.
[Ahhhhh! Get away from him, you witch! Don't come any closer! I'm a married man!]
[No! That's for my darling wife! Don't give it to that woman! Ahhhhh!]
Uh...
Husband?
Shen Peiyao froze. Her feet tangled together, and she fell toward the ground.
[Ahhh, careful, honey! Honey!]
Thud!
At the last second, Chen Yu managed to catch his beloved wife.
"Are you all right?" Chen Yu took the fish-scaling knife from Shen Peiyao's hand, which had been pressed tightly against a certain part of him. He said expressionlessly, "Don't go waving dangerous things around."
Shen Peiyao: "..."

Bonus scene 1:
While they were rowing, a wave hit the boat. Shen Peiyao and the ingenue both lost their balance and fell toward the side.
Chen Yu grabbed the ingenue by the arm and pulled her back onto the boat.
Meanwhile,
[Ahhhh, honey! I have to save my honey! Boo-hoo...]
Shen Peiyao: Good thing your wife can swim.
Bonus scene 2:
"Honey, I want that. Grill it for me."
Chen Yu nodded. When it was ready, the ingenue exclaimed, "Wow, Chen Yu's grilling looks delicious!"
Chen Yu's arm instantly changed direction.
[Boo-hoo, my darling wife! I grilled it so carefully! Boo-hoo!]
Shen Peiyao: I knew it!
Bonus scene 3:
[Ahhhh! I'm finally back in control! Hahaha, I'm coming, darling wife!]
Huh?
Shen Peiyao's heart stirred. Sure enough, her husband, who was so different on the inside from the way he acted, stopped hovering around the ingenue like a lovesick puppy.
Shen Peiyao curled her lips into a smile.
Thud!
Smack!
Crash!
Shen Peiyao rolled up her sleeves and gave her husband a loving beating.
"Ahem, Yaoyao, I can explain."
[Ahhhh! My wife's fists are so soft! I want to hug her, kiss her, and lift her up high!]
A shiver of revulsion ran through Shen Peiyao. Chen Yu pinned her into a corner, and his low, pleasant voice sounded above her. "Yaoyao, really, believe me."
Shen Peiyao: I think I might be sick. Mentally ill, I mean. What do I do?
