A Surge of Emotion

Chen Yao is a C-list actress who only gets supporting roles. But she's stunningly beautiful, like a fairy who has left the mortal world, so people say she has a powerful husband outside the entertainment industry. Chen Yao admits the rumor is true.

But she leaves out the second half:

--- This powerful man is only her husband by contract. He picked her out at first sight and brought her home to deal with his parents.

Though theirs is a marriage of convenience, Chen Yao feels that Gu Mianzhi has never treated her unfairly. He fills her bedroom with gemstones, limited-edition designer bags, necklaces, and antiques from auctions.

And for Chen Yao, this marriage is perfect: her husband is rich, handsome, and successful, and he never comes home!

Then a TV drama puts Chen Yao in the spotlight, even eclipsing the female lead, and she becomes well-known to audiences. Later, a variety show approaches her and asks her to film with her powerful husband from outside the industry.

For the sake of her career, Chen Yao has no choice but to ask her husband to join in, insisting, “You don't have to do anything. Just show your face and say a few words.”

But Chen Yao soon gets a face-slapping surprise...

What kind of variety show films a married couple sleeping together...?

How can a contract couple share a bed?

What kind of variety show films a couple's home...?

How can a contract couple have a love nest?

Little Scene 1

Gu Mianzhi is a genius in the investment world, known to everyone. No one could have guessed that a man as refined as him would marry so young!

Nobody thinks the marriage will last.

After the variety show airs, people in the investment world are left dumbfounded.

Is this gentle, considerate man, who speaks softly and is the very picture of a model husband, really the same cold and ruthless Gu Mianzhi they know?

Little Scene 2

When their contract marriage is exposed, the insults directed at Chen Yao grow louder by the day. At the same time, Gu Mianzhi posts a video.

At the end of the video, he says:

“She isn't my wife by contract. She's the woman I've secretly loved throughout my entire youth.”

“Our marriage was all part of my long-laid plan.”
