[1]
Yun Fu and Song Jingyi got engaged.
After the engagement was settled, Yun Fu declined a family dinner, while Song Jingyi rejected her friend request. In a way, they were a perfect match.
On the night of their engagement, Yun Fu and Song Jingyi agreed on a few things:
1. They would sleep in separate rooms.
2. They would not fight.
3. Even if they had to fake it, they would act like a loving married couple.
The day Yun Fu went to try on wedding dresses, a sudden downpour began.
She simply waited for the rain to stop. When the shop owner asked, "Isn't your fiance coming to take a look?" she didn't even call Song Jingyi, who was in the building across the street.
An old classmate who happened to be passing by offered her a ride home. Yun Fu was just about to accept when someone grabbed her wrist.
"You're trying on wedding dresses and you didn't tell me?"
"Yun Fu, haven't you had enough of pretending we don't know each other?"

Song Jingyi was young, wealthy, and handsome.
A highly sought-after, marriageable bachelor.
But everyone in Yijing who knew him said the same thing:
"Who could ever win Young Master Song's heart? Dream on."
After their wedding, Yun Fu became the person everyone thought was "dreaming."
They were a married couple in name only, so it seemed like divorce was just around the corner.
But they were good actors. When they entered banquets together, arms linked, they looked just like a newlywed couple in love.
Then one day, Song Jingyi gave each of his friends a ticket to a ballet performance.
His friends had no idea why. Some were curious, while others came just to humor him. It wasn't until Yun Fu appeared that they seemed to understand.
The woman onstage wore a gauzy dress, her long hair pinned up. With her swanlike neck and crescent-moon smile, she was truly a beauty with bright eyes and pearly teeth.
"This is my wife."
Song Jingyi's lips curled upward.
Everyone there: ?
You made us come all this way just so we could watch you two flaunt your love?

"Yun Fu, I wanted to marry you when I was nineteen."
Feeling his hair brush against the hollow of her neck, Yun Fu smiled tenderly. "Congratulations. You got to marry me."
*
"It was never good acting. I really do love you."
