In showbiz, Qiao Yiyi has more haters than fans.
Wei Yu, meanwhile, is known as an aloof young gentleman, beloved by the public and backed by a formidable fanbase.
Their status is worlds apart, and they have nothing to do with each other. Yet a netizen on Zhihu decided to pair them up, photoshopping an intimate picture of the two together. The original poster was promptly flamed for having a shrunken brain.
Qiao Yiyi has always known that Wei Yu married her as part of a transaction. Even on their wedding day, he had already planned for the day they would divorce. He had specifically added a clause to their marriage contract: after one year, either party could file for divorce, and it would take effect immediately.
In private, she earnestly played the part of a wife and upheld their contractual marriage. By day, they treated each other with mutual respect. At night, they clung to each other in a passion neither could escape.
A loveless marriage like this was pretty good. They would part ways after a year.
Until she accidentally found a fake intimate photo tucked inside his phone case. In it, she was smiling brightly as he gently held her shoulders from behind, his gaze impossibly tender. It turned out that from the very beginning, one of them had fallen in love.

On the night filming wrapped, the man's hot breath crept from the back of her neck. Rain pounded outside, and the villa bedroom was stiflingly warm. He brushed against her ear and whispered, "Could we... not get divorced?"
"Are you begging me?"
"Yes. I'm begging you."

At first, Wei Yu only hoped he could stay by Qiao Yiyi's side, even if it was just for one year of marriage under contract.
He had underestimated his own greed. Every day afterward, he prayed that the day of their divorce would not come so soon.
She was right there beside him, yet he felt that her heart was very, very far away.
Qiao Yiyi, could you like me? Even if it's just a little more each day.
Theme: Even beneath a contract, true feelings can still be found.
