When a family crisis leaves Yu Zi urgently in need of money, he and the extremely wealthy Li Zhuojin hit it off and agree to a contract marriage. They make a deal: the marriage will last three years, after which they'll divorce. Aside from living together, they'll stay out of each other's business.
For three years, they treat each other with courtesy, occasionally running into each other at events in the entertainment industry and silently pretending not to know one another.
With the divorce date approaching, Yu Zi thinks their contract marriage will end perfectly. But then something goes wrong: Someone drugs him, and he and Li Zhuojin spend the night together.
The next day, they wake up in the same bed. Li Zhuojin is the first to bring up the divorce...
Yu Zi replies without hesitation: Everything stays as planned! Including the final divorce payment you promised me. Don't forget.
Li Zhuojin: ...All right.
Not long afterward, they get divorced.
Not long after that, news of their secret marriage is exposed.
The people involved respond calmly:
Li Zhuojin, a hugely popular Best Actor: We were married. We've divorced.
Yu Zi, who's spent three years acting but is still known as a pretty face: Same here.
So the TV station withdraws its invitation to a dating reality show and instead invites Yu Zi and Li Zhuojin to appear together on a post-divorce reality show.
Li Zhuojin loses a bet and accepts the invitation through gritted teeth.
Yu Zi takes one look at the fee and agrees without blinking.
On the live reality show, the divorced Li Zhuojin and Yu Zi are no longer courteous to each other. Two and a half out of every three sentences are insults, and the remaining half is complete nonsense:
[The show asks: "Have you ever regretted getting divorced?"]
Li Zhuojin: No, I just regret not watering his money tree to death.
Yu Zi: Yes. Later, I realized being widowed would've been a better deal.
[The show asks: "What's your ex's biggest flaw?"]
Li Zhuojin: Greed.
Yu Zi: Lust.
[The show asks: "Have you considered getting remarried?"]
Li Zhuojin: You can't bring the dead back to life.
Yu Zi: No need to dig up the grave when you bury someone.
At first, netizens say: What a miserable couple. No wonder they divorced. A textbook example of what not to do.
Later, netizens say: They're a bickering couple who love and hate each other. But seriously, couldn't you two get remarried for your shipper fans?
On the final day of the post-divorce reality show, Yu Zi suddenly feels unwell.
The renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor among the guests takes his pulse, then looks shocked: You're pregnant!
Yu Zi: ???
Li Zhuojin: ???
Everyone else: !!!
Later...
Li Zhuojin: Life is as fragile as grass. The wildfire cannot burn it away, and the spring breeze makes it grow again ^_^
Yu Zi: To put it in plain language, we got remarried.

Coming soon 1: The Amnesiac Alpha from My Contract Marriage Goes on a Marriage Reality Show
Synopsis:
In a world with many Alphas and few Omegas, Gu Qingjia, an Alpha whose pheromones are completely non-aggressive and whose only advantage is his good looks, isn't what Omegas are looking for in a partner.
After several failed matchmaking attempts, just as Gu Qingjia thinks he'll be alone for the rest of his life, Liang Yan, the head of the Liang family, appears.
Their pheromones are a 100% match, and Liang Yan is very pleased with him and eager to marry soon... Other than the fact that Liang Yan is also an Alpha, he's the perfect marriage candidate!
Gu Qingjia reluctantly turns him down: Two Alphas can never work out. I can't marry you.
Liang Yan: If you don't want a regular marriage, a contract marriage will do.
Gu Qingjia: ???
Liang Yan explains that he has pheromone dysregulation syndrome, and only Gu Qingjia, whose pheromones match his 100%, can help treat him.
Gu Qingjia: But why should I help you?
Liang Yan hands him a marriage contract: Because I can give you a mansion and luxury car right away, plus a million a month for living expenses?
At that, Gu Qingjia immediately pulls out a pen: To hell with the laws of nature and personal dignity! I'm always happy to help. Where do I sign?
They enter a contract marriage with no set end date. Gu Qingjia moves in with Liang Yan and regularly uses his pheromones to help treat him. Once Liang Yan's pheromone dysregulation is cured, they'll divorce.
For a while, everything goes smoothly.
But after one treatment, Liang Yan faints, and when he wakes up, he has selective amnesia.
Liang Yan forgets their contract marriage. Relying on how familiar Gu Qingjia's pheromones feel, he is convinced Gu Qingjia is his lover, even when Gu Qingjia shows him the contract.
Liang Yan thinks for a moment: I remember us always arguing. This contract must have been a joke we made when we were angry.
Gu Qingjia says helplessly: ...We always argued because two Alphas together really go against the laws of nature. Not seeing eye to eye was just instinct!
Liang Yan comforts him: All right, don't be mad. I bought you ten jin of gold as a gift. Do you like it?
Gu Qingjia: ...It's really hard not to like that.
So, besides continuing to treat Liang Yan, Gu Qingjia takes on another job: playing the lovestruck fool for Liang Yan, who thinks he's a romantic after losing his memory, to keep him happy and help his recovery.
Unexpectedly, to show off their love, Liang Yan even wants to take Gu Qingjia on a marriage reality show produced by the entertainment subsidiary of the Liang Group.
For the appearance fee, Gu Qingjia performs with tears in his eyes.
But... the longer he acts, the stranger things get.
On the show, Liang Yan calls him "Qingjia" and "honey," holds his hand as they walk, kisses him when the program makes them separate temporarily, cuddles him tightly at night, and uses saving time as an excuse to shower together, which actually takes even longer. Everything he does is aimed at getting Gu Qingjia to fulfill his marital duties...
The audience loves it: No wonder their pheromones are a 100% match. Even two Alphas can be this affectionate!
Liang Yan answers solemnly: It's not the pheromones. Qingjia and I genuinely love each other.
Gu Qingjia: ...Help!
Gu Qingjia decides that when the show ends, whether Liang Yan believes him or not, he'll explain the truth again and ask for a divorce!
But just before he can bring it up, Gu Qingjia overhears Liang Yan talking with the family doctor.
The family doctor sounds concerned: Mr. Liang, to keep Mr. Gu from getting suspicious, you've taken in too much pheromone during the "treatments." It's made your rut happen more and more often, and you keep suppressing it with medication. At this rate, the fake pheromone dysregulation syndrome may become real. You should stop while you can.
Liang Yan replies coldly: No. I haven't made him fall in love with me yet. I can't stop.
Liang Yan has been secretly in love with someone since he was young. Years later, he finally dares to approach him openly. That person is Gu Qingjia.
To persuade Gu Qingjia to marry him, Liang Yan makes up pheromone dysregulation syndrome.
To get closer to Gu Qingjia, Liang Yan pretends to have amnesia.
Every shameless, elaborate scheme is meant to win the person he once longed for but could never have.

Coming soon 2: The Villainous Ger Is Pregnant with the Male Lead's Child
Synopsis:
Meng Shuangxi transmigrates into an exam-success inspirational novel, becoming a villainous cannon-fodder ger.
Gers are beautiful but low in status. The Meng family wants to send Meng Shuangxi into the palace to serve the emperor and compete for his favor, so they plan to build his reputation as both talented and good-looking to improve his chances.
But Meng Shuangxi is hopeless, so the Meng family simply kidnaps a talented scholar with no family connections who is traveling to the capital to take the imperial exams. They make him stay at the Meng residence and write on Meng Shuangxi's behalf. The scholar is named Yan Chuyun, and he is the protagonist of this imperial-exam novel.
According to the original plot, Meng Shuangxi and the entire Meng family will eventually be exiled. After enduring all kinds of hardship in exile, they will die miserably.
Just after transmigrating into the book, Meng Shuangxi hears a servant report that they've already beaten Yan Chuyun up and dragged him back... Meng Shuangxi nearly passes out.
To make amends, Meng Shuangxi goes to the courtyard where Yan Chuyun is being held and greets him warmly: Brother Yan, this is all a misunderstanding. I just admire your talent and wanted to invite you over.
Yan Chuyun's face is bruised, and his hands and feet are still tied. He responds with a cold laugh.
Meng Shuangxi: ...
To save his own life, Meng Shuangxi diligently tries to win Yan Chuyun over. He provides food and lodging, buys him books, brushes, ink, and paper, and helps him reunite early with his birth parents, the family of the Grand Princess... until Yan Chuyun passes the imperial exams and becomes the top scholar. Meng Shuangxi celebrates with him over drinks.
They drink too much and wake up in the same bed the next morning.
Meng Shuangxi clutches the quilt, staring blankly: This was an accident! I didn't plan it!
Yan Chuyun is utterly composed: Since it has happened, why don't we move up our wedding date?
Meng Shuangxi: ???
What wedding date? Who's marrying whom?
Unable to handle the situation, Meng Shuangxi simply runs away.
Not long after leaving, Meng Shuangxi discovers he's pregnant. He has no choice but to settle somewhere, telling everyone that he's a newly widowed man carrying his late husband's posthumous child.
One day, someone knocks at the courtyard gate. Meng Shuangxi opens it, and there stands Yan Chuyun, the newly enthroned emperor.
Yan Chuyun says: I'm emperor now, so I can make your wish to become empress come true. Come back with me.
Meng Shuangxi looks confused.
Wait... When did he ever say he wanted to become empress?

Theme: Hard work brings rewards. Live positively and optimistically.
It's a very interesting book, and the if lines are also very interesting. I actually finished reading them all. After reading the article for so many years, I am no longer very interested in IF and extras. Most of the time, I just buy all ifs and extras just because the main text is okay, but I don't actually know how to read them. However, the characters and plot of this book are very good. It is easy to read. It is a sweet cookie but it will not make you panic. It can make people have the patience to read it and enjoy it.
Sprinkle flowers, scatter flowers~The little fish wants to be happy
It's pretty good. It's just that the character's personality traits are single and prominent, which is a bit uncomfortable. Everything else is perfect.
