Si Xun'en switched places with himself from a parallel world. In this world, his parents were both dead, and he lived with his grandmother.
One day, his grandmother said, "Grandma thinks she's about to die. If I don't get to see my precious boy married before I go, I'll never rest in peace."
She began arranging blind dates for Si Xun'en.
He only wanted to lie flat and grow old alone. "..."
After a few dates, Si Xun'en came up with an excuse his grandmother would never accept: "Grandma, I like men."
His grandmother fell silent.
The next day, she set him up on another date.
"Don't worry, my precious boy. He's a man, 188 centimeters tall, and good-looking. He's just a little older. But that's fine; older men know how to take care of people. I know his grandmother well, so his character is beyond reproach."
Si Xun'en: "..."
He went to meet his blind date. As his grandmother had said, the man was indeed good-looking, mature and refined, and obviously a successful professional.
To escape the endless blind dates, he steeled himself and asked his date to enter into a fake marriage with him.
His date actually agreed. What a good person.
And then the two got married in a whirlwind.

Si Xun'en hadn't wanted to get a marriage certificate.
He Chengyu said, "What if your grandmother thinks we're lying to her and asks to see our marriage certificate?"
He thought: Fair point.
On the day they went to register their marriage, Si Xun'en discovered that He Chengyu was a celebrity, and a long-established Best Actor at that. He wanted to call off the wedding on the spot.
He Chengyu said, "We won't announce it, and we won't appear together in public, so nobody will find out you're married to me. Besides, who else could you find to fake a marriage with on such short notice?"
He thought: Fair point.
After they got their marriage certificate, He Chengyu asked him to help promote their relationship on Weibo. In the spirit of friendship and mutual support, he began posting lovey-dovey content online without showing his face, playing the part of a sweet little wife.
By the time Si Xun'en came to his senses, they were living together, kissing, sleeping together, and appearing in public together. The whole world knew he was married to the Best Actor.
He thought: Something feels off.

The paparazzi photographed He Chengyu and his partner, from their dates to their wedding, and the comments were full of mockery.
[They got married after dating for half a month. Everyone knows whirlwind marriages usually end in divorce.]
[Teacher He belongs to all of us! We refuse to accept that he's married!]
[Ha, still showing off your love on Weibo. What a drama queen.]
[An ugly guy who's too afraid to show his face.]
Later, He Chengyu brought his partner onto a lifestyle variety show.
Everyone discovered that the sweet little wife wasn't just stunningly beautiful. He could also dance, paint, play the violin, and game at a professional level!
Everyone was green with envy. This wasn't just a sweet little wife, this was an all-around idol who could debut right then and there!
