Enthusiastic, loudmouthed puppy of a singer x cool, self-possessed, socially anxious associate professor
Yu Gui is forced to marry in order to inherit her family's estate.
She thought a secret marriage would mean the two of them coldly signing an agreement, never meeting again, and warning each other to do as they pleased without interfering in the other's affairs.
She never expected her new spouse to gaze at her brightly and immediately stick close. After knowing each other for just 48 hours, he was already wagging his tail alongside his puppy, grinning from ear to ear while they waited in line to register their marriage.
She really, really hated this type! It was absolutely one of her biggest turnoffs!
But for the sake of inheriting the estate, she would endure it!
Marriage was fine, but she had one condition: they had to keep it secret! Not a word about their underground marriage could get out!
This wasn't because she was a public figure. On the contrary, she was just an ordinary university lecturer, fresh back from studying abroad and starting her career.
But her newly appointed husband, who had the personality she disliked most, was a public figure! He was a hugely popular singer who mooched off her at home every day and wrote only one song a year!
Determined that not a soul should discover their underground marriage, Yu Gui signed a hundred confidentiality clauses with her secret husband, Shi Wang. But no matter how airtight the agreement was, it couldn't stop him from wanting to share the joy of being newly married at every opportunity.
At an awards ceremony, Shi Wang clutched his trophy and nearly blurted out, "I'd like to thank my wife." Then the agreement flashed through his mind, and he quickly changed "wife" to "family."
During a cooking segment on a variety show, Shi Wang had to stop himself several times from telling the cameras that his wife knew how to chop scallions.
When netizens spotted that Shi Wang had secretly signed up for a cooking class at New Oriental, he had no choice but to hold a press conference to clarify that he was practicing his knife skills to get faster at playing guitar.
Even so, Shi Wang let things slip several times, leaving the entire internet wondering if the old bachelor had finally found a girlfriend.
In her university classroom, Yu Gui watched her students sneak peeks at videos of Shi Wang's slipups. She had to force a smile and say that she looked down on celebrities like him, that she would only date an intellectual with an equivalent education, and that she couldn't stand people who knew nothing about everyday life.
Wait... The students looked confused. How did their teacher know that Shi Wang knew nothing about everyday life?
Enough! After standing firm through countless storms, Yu Gui finally made an angry post: My secret husband is clueless and clingy, and he keeps letting things slip. How do I make him shut up for good?
Faced with his cold and heartless secret wife, Shi Wang remained convinced: "She loves me so much!"
Nobody knew that, back when he was young and still unknown, Yu Gui had spent every day under his secret account, gushing wildly and posting cheesy pickup lines, throwing tantrums and rolling around begging him to marry her and bring her home. Even Yu Gui herself had no idea.
