After the Little Drama Queen Marries a Powerful Tycoon

[A masterful little schemer who loves putting on an act x A powerful man who quietly watches him perform]

Xia Zhi had lived for twenty years before learning that he wasn't his parents' biological child.

He'd been scolded ever since childhood for being willful, spoiled, and disobedient, and for not being like their child. He never expected a DNA test to confirm that he really wasn't part of the Xia family.

When the real young master came home, Xia Zhi was kicked out.

To repay the Xia family for twenty years of raising him, Xia Zhi worked hard at all kinds of jobs. By chance, he entered into a marriage contract with the head of the Li family.

The Li family was the most powerful wealthy family in the city. Its head, Li Bofeng, was decisive, ruthless, and had everything under his thumb. Most importantly, he was rich.

Xia Zhi quickly latched onto this golden thigh and climbed his way up, doing his best to play the perfect lover:

Butler: "Sir, you didn't come home last night. The young master didn't sleep a wink. I noticed he had dark circles under his eyes this morning."

Xia Zhi really hadn't slept all night, but only because he'd been fighting people in the game. He put on a weak expression. "I was scared without you here."

Butler: "Sir, the news reported a rumor about you and Miss Yan today. The young master cried his eyes out at home, and now they're all puffy!"

Xia Zhi had actually been crying over a melodramatic TV show. His eyes red, he said, "Waaah."

Butler: "Sir, when we got the call that you'd been injured, the young master was so worried he didn't eat a single bite!"

Xia Zhi had secretly eaten so many snacks that he couldn't manage a meal. He looked concerned. "Yes, yes, I was so worried... hic."

#This household can't function without the butler#

Before long, everyone knew that Li Bofeng had a young master at home who loved him desperately.

Even Li Bofeng himself began to have second thoughts about his contract-marriage partner.

Xia Zhi also thought he'd put on a flawless performance.

He never expected Li Bofeng to really start coming home from work on time every day to sleep beside him after Xia Zhi said he was scared and couldn't sleep, or to cook for him personally after Xia Zhi said he didn't want to eat.

Xia Zhi felt guilty. Oh no, I overdid it.

Much later, Li Bofeng's business trip ended early, and he called his beloved at home as soon as he got back.

Xia Zhi's voice was soft over the phone. "I miss you so much I can't sleep or eat."

"You can't eat?" Li Bofeng listened on the phone while watching a familiar figure at a nearby table, happily partying with friends.

"...Yeah," Xia Zhi suddenly felt a chill down his back. Guilty but stubborn, he said, "Missing you has made my appetite shrink."

Li Bofeng stared at his back and said calmly, "Turn around."
