One-line summary: My long-lost moonlight has come back to take me in hand.

1. When a sudden crisis hits her family's business, Qu Wanying resolutely abandons her bright future abroad and returns home to save the day.

With her unscrupulous uncle threatening to seize the family fortune, she decides to survive in the cracks and work around the system by finding a powerful, suitable ally.

In plain terms, she'll cling to a powerful backer.

On the night she returns, she's invited to a matchmaking banquet held by Wanhua Group for the family's young heir. She arrives in full finery.

Amid the well-dressed crowd, she leans against a banquet table with a sorrowful expression and sneers without restraint: "I wonder which girl is blind enough to want a good-for-nothing man who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun."

As soon as the words leave her mouth, the banquet hall doors open.

The man who enters is tall and slender, with an air of aristocratic coldness.

Beneath his tousled hair, he has an exceptionally beautiful pair of peach-blossom eyes, but his gaze is so indifferent it keeps everyone at a distance.

He sweeps his eyes across the room and says coolly, "I'm not getting married."

Qu Wanying's heart stirs. Not getting married? Perfect.

2. Night falls, and the city lights come on.

Qu Wanying slips away from the reception. Her craving for a cigarette strikes, and she climbs to the rooftop, fighting her discomfort.

"Who's there?" A cold voice cuts through the stillness of the night.

Tan Zeyu leans against the railing, a glowing cigarette between his fingers. His peach-blossom eyes are half-lidded as he discreetly sizes her up.

She turns toward the voice and unexpectedly meets his unfathomable dark eyes. She steels herself. "Want to make a deal? I'll fend off your admirers."

He gives her a cold laugh and plays along, pointedly asking, "Then what do you want me to do, Miss Qu?"

"I only need you to act out a little scene with me." An uncontrollable desire stirs within her.

"What kind of scene?"

"A fake romance."

3. On day N of their marriage, their wedding photos go viral across the internet, and netizens start spreading rumors:

#Word is, the heir to the Tan family spent years looking for his lost moonlight and never found her.#

#Won't your sister-in-law get jealous?#

Half an hour later, one of the people involved appears in the comments: "My wife is the moonlight I've been searching for all these years. Are you jealous?"

The trending topics explode instantly: #Didn'tYouSayYouWeren'tGettingMarried#

"Across the Ying River, my beloved stands beyond my reach."

Evenly matched leads / contract romance / misunderstandings and coincidence / happy ending / both leads sexually inexperienced
