Marriage First, Love Later / Beautiful B-list Actress Like a Little Peacock x Sharp-Tongued, Straightforward Business Tycoon / Both Each Other's First and Only, Four-Year Age Gap
Blurb:
At the VIP seats of a jewelry show, the last person anyone expected to see made an appearance: Shen Yuli, the foremost heir to one of the capital's most powerful families. His handsome face outshone everyone around him, yet he was famous for keeping women at arm's length and living an austere, desire-free life, crushing the hopes of countless actresses.
As the stars vied to outshine one another, Mu Xizhi, a B-list actress, sat in a corner watching the spectacle. She didn't draw attention to herself, and was often disparaged as a terrible actress who only got by on connections and was wasting a pretty face. Tonight, nobody even called on her.
And no one would have guessed that she and tonight's VIP had once shared a marriage certificate.
After the show, her van was nowhere to be seen. Instead, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan stood before Mu Xizhi.
Shen Yuli leaned against the car, his expression unreadable in the darkness.
"Mrs. Shen, are we going home or to a hotel?"
Shen Yuli kept a low profile and was always impeccably restrained. The media had dug into his life for years without finding a single flaw, until one day at an event, they spotted a lipstick mark on the clean cuff of his shirt.
The media was stunned. Had the tycoon finally broken his vow of abstinence?
They then noticed that the lipstick Mu Xizhi wore in a selfie that day was an exact match for the mark on Shen's shirt.
Question: What is the relationship between a nobody B-list actress and a business tycoon?!
Mu Xizhi announced: Married. We're husband and wife.
The haters in the comments: ? Have you gone crazy dreaming of marrying into a rich family?
Not long afterward, the official Shen Group account posted: @Mu Xizhi, our one and only lady boss.
The Mu Group followed suit: @Mu Xizhi, our one and only heiress.
X&Z Jewelry: @Mu Xizhi, our one and only chairwoman.
The haters: ??? Sorry, we picked a fight with someone way out of our league.
