[1] A fiery, love-and-hate kind of girl takes on a brooding, gloomy man [Updated daily, probably before bed]

While on a business trip to London, Zhou Jingyi runs into her childhood friend, whom she hasn't seen in six years, being beaten up.

Remembering their childhood friendship, she takes him to the hospital.

When the man wakes up with amnesia, he asks, "Are you my girlfriend?"

She smiles and teases him. "No, I'm your wife."

Marrying Xie Jindu was purely a matter of lust at first sight.

Not long after the wedding, Zhou Jingyi suddenly feels more bored than ever and decides to call it quits.

Xie Jindu seems to calmly accept the divorce agreement, but he never goes to the civil affairs bureau to sign it.

So she goes all in and spends half a month visiting every male model club in Beicheng.

One day, Xie Jindu shows up. Drunk, she mistakes him for a male model and starts kissing him.

Afterward, Zhou Jingyi often visits that male model club, always choosing the same masked model named William.

Xie Jindu plans to bare his heart to his wife, but Zhou Jingyi says, "No thanks. I've fallen for someone else."

"Someone else?"

"He's 189 centimeters tall, with muscles all over," Zhou Jingyi says slowly, lighting a cigarette as if savoring the memory. "And we're a perfect match."

"A perfect match how?"

"Our sizes." Zhou Jingyi chuckles softly through the smoke. "I mean our clothes."

When they were young, Zhou Jingyi was always running into her sweet, delicate childhood friend being bullied. She hated injustice and charged in to defend him countless times. But in truth, he was the one who started every fight.

Xie Jindu knew perfectly well that this was the only way to make that proud, fickle little princess spare him even a fraction of her attention...

The concern she occasionally showed him, the worry in her beautiful eyes, and the faint warmth of her breath as she blew on his wounds were all things he savored over and over at night.

Xie Jindu has a secret room. Inside is a life-sized robot modeled on his wife.

As long as he presses a button, it says, "I love you."

He knows it's fake, but he's still worn the paint off that button from pressing it so often.
