[A fifteen-year age gap, marriage first and love later
Theatrical puppy × an elegant, powerful occultist]
Du Yunxi, the star who keeps the whole internet fed with gossip, is a playboy who'll inherit the family business if she doesn't work hard. Listing the names of all her exes would give you a history of the rise and fall of top-tier stars.
On the very day she reached the legal age to marry, she announced her wedding.
·
Bad news: Du Yunxi's family arranged a blind date for her, and they expected her to get married.
Good news: She fell in love with her blind date at first sight.
Even worse news: Her date was interested in her birth chart, not in her.
The sharp-eyed older woman smiled gently at her. “I'd like to borrow your good marriage luck.”
Du Yunxi was so dazzled by that smile that she married young and came away with a beautiful wife for free.
Unfortunately, the beautiful older woman cared only about exorcising demons and defending the Dao. Every day, she thought about setting them both free as soon as possible.
Puppy Du gritted her teeth.
Marriage-first, love-later stories were all lies!
Ever since she was young, everyone in the occult world had their eyes on Luo Chen, itching to meddle in her marriage.
She didn't want to give them what they wanted, so she chose the person least likely to suit their plans.
When her friends found out, they all tried to talk her out of it.
“She isn't even part of the occult world!”
“Good. It means my death won't affect her life.”
“She isn't even old enough to marry legally!”
“Perfect. When the time comes, the divorce will take less paperwork than usual.”
After all, this marriage was just a smokescreen for her ambitions.
For the great cause she was about to accomplish, she was willing to stake both love and life.
Du Yunxi had had enough of her attitude, that whole “I'm more mature than you, so I have to think about everything” routine. At last, she agreed to a divorce.
Luo Chen gazed out at the night beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows. “We can get divorced.”
“But you can't leave my sight.”
I've probably covered most of the potential dealbreakers in the synopsis.
To be more specific:
1. Puppy Du's exes can be men or women.
2. There's a fifteen-year age gap, so it's basically “poor Tom, completely wrapped around her finger.”
In a sense, it's a story about bad people getting what they deserve.

She arrives with her suitcase and cat carrier. Just as she slips the key into the lock of her vacation villa,

the door opens from the inside.
One of her aunt's favorite students steps out.
Her aunt's student has round eyes, black hair, and lips like rosebuds bursting into bloom in spring.
Supposedly, she's a poor thing whose father doesn't care for her and whose mother died young. Unable to afford the steep tuition, she was dragged into studying by Katherine's kindhearted aunt and now lives on a full scholarship. She's an exceptionally brilliant student.
“So the house is just sitting empty anyway. Can't you let her stay there for free?”
Under any other circumstances, Katherine would be more than happy to live with someone so sexy.
The problem is, she's just agreed to star in a wildly popular live-streaming variety show.
And the filming location is her vacation villa.
“Nicotine withdrawal is a form of compensatory behavior. I think you could satisfy the urge through other actions.”
An Ning pins her down on the sofa.
Katherine smiles. “And what do you suggest, Doctor?”
Soft lips swallow up the words that follow.
“Every time you want to reach for a cigarette, you have to kiss me first.”
[An excerpt from a diary]
X year, X month, X day
I met her. Why does this cat look even fatter than she does on TV?
She keeps staring at me.
X year, X month, X day
Mistake. I forgot that celebrities have to watch their weight. Should I switch to something lower in calories?
X year, X month, X day
I know she touched my hand on purpose.
We can move on to the next step.
X year, X month, X day
The current treatment isn't going too well. Maybe we should set up a reward system?
I'll try giving her the silent treatment for two days.
Darling, don't peek.
Theme: Treasure the connections fate brings you.
