Natural airhead (forgot to schedule the divorce version) x face-blind (can't recognize her wife, much less her love rival version)]

The three-year contract marriage ended without a hitch.

Yan Tingwan had originally planned to pester her scummy ex-wife.

That woman hadn't come home once in three years, or acted out the arranged-marriage-to-true-love story Yan Tingwan had dreamed up. She'd left Yan Tingwan without a sweet romance for three whole years.

But her ex-wife had offered far too much compensation.

Yan Tingwan settled into the house her ex-wife had given her, drove the car she'd been given, and joined a film production.

Only to discover that her next co-star was none other than the ex-wife who had married her and never come home.

Yan Tingwan: I'm tired. Just destroy the world.

The moment they joined the production, Yan Tingwan and Nan Chunxi were at each other's throats.

Even when Nan Chunxi was just drinking water, Yan Tingwan could find something to snap at her about. During rehearsals, Yan Tingwan was always going against her, too.

Nan Chunxi was a three-time major award-winning actress. Backed by the Nan family, she owned the Nova Group, valued at tens of billions, and was its youngest CEO.

She was as cold as ice, with a sharp, intimidating presence, and never said more than three sentences to anyone.

Yan Tingwan was just an obscure actress in the industry's bottom tier, yet she dared to openly give Nan Chunxi the cold shoulder. Everyone thought Yan Tingwan would be blacklisted as soon as filming wrapped.

Who could have guessed that halfway through filming, Nan Chunxi, who had once been as cold as an iceberg, would actually take the initiative to get close to Yan Tingwan?

She carried her bag and fixed her makeup, then gave her one-on-one acting lessons and brought her a different gift every three days.

Yan Tingwan still treated her with indifference.

"Your eye makeup is crooked." "I don't understand your instructions." "I don't like this necklace."

Nan Chunxi was a hundred times more patient with her than with anyone else.

"I'll redo it." "I'll teach you step by step tonight." "If you don't like it, throw it away. I'll buy you a new one tomorrow."

One day, an assistant couldn't help asking Yan Tingwan, "What exactly is your relationship with Actress Nan?"

Yan Tingwan was about to say ex-wife when Nan Chunxi answered for her: "We're wives."

When she saw Yan Tingwan's astonished look, Nan Chunxi pulled out their divorce agreement. "I never signed it. We're still legally married."

Yan Tingwan realized there was something strange about her ex-wife.

Whenever she gave her ex-wife the cold shoulder, money would appear in her account.

Whenever she confronted her ex-wife, the woman would send her money.

So Yan Tingwan began living as obnoxiously as she pleased.

Three months later, she had a huge sum in her account. She'd milked her ex-wife for all she could, and was ready to take the money and run.

Nan Chunxi blocked her doorway and slowly tore up the unsigned divorce agreement. "Who are you trying to find tonight?"

Nan Chunxi closed in step by step, until she caught Yan Tingwan's hand. "Are they prettier than me, richer than me, or better than me in bed?"

The gentle, obedient Nan Chunxi suddenly had the ferocious gaze of a wildcat. She pulled Yan Tingwan down with her. "Tingwan, how about we don't get divorced?"

Reading guide:

Yan Tingwan and Nan Chunxi are a secondary couple from the novel Cool-Hearted CEO, but the ABO setting has been removed in this story.

One-on-one, both leads are sexually inexperienced, happy ending. No cheating. Yan Tingwan just likes to talk big. She's bold on offense but a coward on defense: the moment the other person makes a move, she runs.

Bickering enemies + love after an arranged marriage + fiction becomes reality (falling in love while filming)

A fun, sweet treat, with a fairly detailed filming process and a story within the story.
