1. It was an ordinary workday when Xiao Yu'en spotted a Porsche Cayenne illegally parked by the roadside. With a decisive flourish, she stuck a ticket on its window.

Just as she was about to leave, a tall man wearing a mask walked up beside her.

Xiao Yu'en looked him over for a few seconds. "Are you the owner? You're not allowed to park on this road. Be more careful next time."

The man didn't move. His pale eyes gazed at her as he stood there.

Just as Xiao Yu'en began to wonder if they knew each other, several young women came running from behind her, charging at the man like zombies who'd spotted a brain. They shouted:

"Aaaaaah, Xie Ying!!!"

2. Not long afterward, circumstances conspired to bring Xiao Yu'en and Xie Ying into a whirlwind marriage.

Xie Ying was a classmate of her ex-boyfriend's from high school, as well as a star adored by millions. He had a beautiful face that blurred the line between masculine and feminine, along with impressively developed biceps. His fans called him "Muscle Kitty."

According to his fans, Kitty had incredibly high standards for himself and was extremely disciplined in his lifestyle. He ate nothing but light meals year-round to maintain his looks.

He was also fussy and reclusive, and rarely gave his fans any perks. Despite having such a fit body, he never let them see so much as an inch of skin.

But after marrying Xie Ying and moving in with him, Xiao Yu'en discovered that what the fans said seemed to be... a little off.

He wasn't disciplined at all. Every day, he sat across from her and happily ate dinner when she got home from work.

He wasn't reclusive in the slightest, either. At home, he always dressed in... deep V-necks, tank tops, and shirts left unbuttoned, with necklines practically reaching his navel.

"Xie Ying, winter's almost here. Aren't you cold, dressing like that every day?"

Xie Ying looked at her. A few seconds later, he drawled, "Nope. I'm fire-aligned."

Xiao Yu'en: "..."

3. After getting married, the two of them kept out of each other's way until Xiao Yu'en was the first to suggest sharing a bed.

Xie Ying heard her out and asked, "Are you sure, darling?"

Xiao Yu'en replied sincerely, "I'm sure. There's no need to keep sleeping in separate rooms just because we're married, is there?" She studied his expression. "Or are you unwilling?"

Xie Ying propped his chin up, unhurriedly. "No, I'm very willing."

That night, they each slept on their own side of the bed like good friends. But the next morning...

For some reason, Xiao Yu'en leapt out of bed. "Why aren't you wearing any clothes!!!"

Xie Ying rested his hands behind his head and said with an embarrassed look, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, darling. I have a habit of sleeping..."

The corners of his mouth curled as he enunciated each word: "I like sleeping naked."

4. Later, after a long absence, Xie Ying released a new album.

At the livestreamed launch for the album, Xie Ying was asked what the title of its lead single, "A Billion Lumens," meant.

He replied, "A lumen is a unit used to measure the brightness of a light source. A billion lumens describes just how radiant my wife is in my eyes."

His words sent the room into an uproar.

The phrase "Xie Ying's secret marriage" shot to the top of the trending topics.

Meanwhile, the livestream continued.

The host asked, "Is there anything you'd like to say to your wife now?"

Xie Ying stared into the camera. "Yes. I want to tell her I regret it."

Host: ?

Xie Ying: "The moment I fell for her eight years ago, I should have convinced myself to become the other man."

Host: ???

[Little Skit: Both Have Their Own Motives]

Xie Ying: (secretly delighted) I actually married Xiao Yu'en.

Xiao Yu'en: (thinking) Xie Ying is so rich. I'll just keep him around as a side gig.
