[Third-person narration]
My name is Bai Mu, an unremarkable yet beautiful film director.
I have a husband I married by contract, Xie Qingshen, the heir to the Xie family. He's supposedly the standard handsome, dark-hearted CEO.
This cold, loveless arranged marriage ended three years later, in a sudden car accident.
Don't get the wrong idea.
Xie Qingshen didn't die.
But his brain was damaged, and ten years of memories were wiped.
.
Xie Qingshen before he lost his memory: aloof, dignified, and a deeply calculating, ambitious man.
Xie Qingshen after he lost his memory: arrogant, conceited, a bad-tempered, gorgeous brat who thinks he's the king of the world.
The contrast left me feeling completely disoriented for a while.
But I soon had no time to think about it anymore... because the young master really was a handful!
He seemed to hate me.
I was auditioning actors on set when Xie Qingshen barged in wearing sunglasses and sat right in the middle of the directors' group like a peacock. He nitpicked my male lead and insulted his looks, successfully driving him away.
Is he out of his mind?!
I got drunk and accidentally kissed Xie Qingshen. The young master was so embarrassed and furious that his ears turned red. He looked utterly hopeless, as if to say, [I'm no longer pure. I'm already dead.]
Afterward, he avoided me for a whole week.
Whatever. I think he really is out of his mind.
.
On the night I won Best Director, the media exposed my marriage contract with Xie Qingshen.
I was mocked across the internet.
At the same time, a video tagged #TheXieHeir'sOneTrueLove began going viral.
"Actually, I've been secretly in love with Bai Mu since I was eighteen..." The drunk heir shyly covers his face, his handsome features faintly red beneath his long fingers.
"But she said she likes cold, aloof guys!" The heir looks frustrated and angry. "What else could I do? I had to fake it!"
Bai Mu: ???
I was my contract marriage partner's one true love?
Was the sham marriage I thought we had actually something the CEO himself had schemed to make happen?
Important note:
Marriage first, love later. The male lead spends every day thinking about forcing the female lead to be his, but gets into a car accident before he can act on it. (Wagging my finger) (Be a law-abiding citizen.)
