This will be my next story: a second male lead who works hard to win her over, and another man trying to win back his wife after taking her for granted~
Wen Lian's childhood friend and arranged fiancé, Lu Yuanzhou, fell in love with a young actor. He even turned down an offer from a famous director, secretly accompanying the actor to star in a web series instead.
The groom was the only one missing from their lavish engagement party, because Lu Yuanzhou was livestreaming himself and the young actor playing up their on-screen couple image.
Overnight, Wen Lian became a laughingstock in their social circle.
Usually laid-back, Wen Lian said firmly for the first time, "I want to break off the engagement."
*
Wen Lian knew he wasn't suited to taking over the company, so he urgently needed a more suitable marriage prospect.
One night, as Wen Lian stood by a bridge under an umbrella, contemplating life, he happened to bring a man home.
The man had lost his memory and immediately latched onto Wen Lian.
Wen Lian: "No. I have to find your family."
The man wrapped his arms around Wen Lian's waist and shook his head frantically. "Honey, are you abandoning me?"
Wen Lian silently picked at the man's huge, corded hand around his waist and rolled his eyes. "First, I'm not your wife. I have a fiancé. Second, if you don't let go, you're going to strangle me."

After playing around elsewhere until he was bored, Lu Yuanzhou realized that Wen Lian was still the best. He carefully prepared a birthday gift, planning to surprise him.
At the party, Lu Yuanzhou stood below the stage and looked up. Wen Lian, whom he hadn't seen in ages, was smiling, even the corners of his eyes alight. The elegant, distinguished man beside him rested one hand on Wen Lian's waist, gently caressing it. He looked up indifferently and shot Lu Yuanzhou a cold glance.
Someone nearby whispered, "I hear the Ji family has powerful connections, and Ji Yunqin is their only son. He's doting on Wen Lian like this, so we'd better not cross the Wen family now."
*
Ji Yunqin was young, powerful, and the object of countless people's flattery. But when it came to his love life, he was a lost cause.
Then, at a project celebration, Ji Yunqin, who had been pressured to marry yet again, saw Wen Lian in a white suit, leaning by the balcony and watching indifferently as Lu Yuanzhou toasted guests with his new sweetheart.
Ji Yunqin smiled slightly and answered his friend's question:
"I like someone like that."
Early on, Mr. Ji: The other man in name, but with the possessiveness of the official partner.
Later, Mr. Ji: The official partner in name, but with the behavior of the other man.
Theme: You can only get a wife by being sincere.
