My Husband Is Pretending Again Today

-

"I have a friend."

"Last night, when she got home, she realized her car was gone. She thought she might have parked in the wrong place and that it had been towed to the traffic police station, so she had to take a taxi home. Who knew that on the way, she'd see someone driving her car!"

"And that's not all. She saw the person drive into her residential compound, too, and use facial recognition to unlock her front door!"

"She was terrified and pulled out her phone to call the police. But just as the call went through, she realized the man was the same person in her wedding photo. So this man was actually her husband, whom she'd never met!"

As soon as Shen Miaoxuan finished speaking, the female coworkers gathered around her immediately started chattering. "You're kidding, right? How could someone be married and not know what their husband looks like?"

"Is he handsome? Is the guy handsome? I've always dreamed of a romance that starts with a home invasion."

"This 'friend' of yours... is it actually you?"

Shen Miaoxuan said, "Shouldn't the point be that he's a lunatic? Even if we're married, showing up at my house without warning is way too presumptuous! That's practically trespassing!"

"It's fine if he's handsome, isn't it?" her coworker said, adding fuel to the fire.

Shen Miaoxuan was one of the top rich kids in A City. As a teenager, she spent her days eating, drinking, partying, and causing trouble. When she was twenty, her father brought home an illegitimate son who was only six years younger than her.

Shen Miaoxuan stayed up all night asking a lawyer whether she could have her father killed right then and there and inherit the family business.

At her lawyer's suggestion, she joined the company and worked her way up from the bottom, diligently and without complaint. She even accepted the business marriage her father arranged for her. Her match was Yi Yunzhou, the famous domineering CEO of A City.

Shen Miaoxuan had only met him once, on their wedding day. The very next day, he went abroad to continue expanding into overseas markets, leaving her to spend her wedding leave alone. So really, it wasn't her fault she couldn't remember what he looked like.

Yi Yunzhou was very satisfied with his marital status.

Married men were always taken more seriously in business. And he had been secretly in love with his wife for years, so he was thrilled to finally have her. Even though they were forced to live apart, whenever he saw high-end jewelry or handbags, he sent them her way. His executive assistant had sworn that all women loved this stuff, and that if he bought it for her, she'd love him to death.

Yi Yunzhou took those words as gospel.

Until one day, his assistant called him. "CEO Yunzhou, the madam has had a lot of unexplained financial activity lately."

"She's recently ordered a limited-edition sports car, thrown a huge party on a private island, bought the exclusive cellar for a top winery's 1987 vintage, and spent a fortune putting on a meet-and-greet for a male celebrity at the A City Stadium. According to the bank statements, madam has been spending her money on other people."

"CEO Yunzhou, all signs point to madam having an affair."

Yi Yunzhou: He looks alive, but he might have been gone for a while already.

A fiery, dazzling beauty of a heroine x a sharp-tongued, scheming hero who's practically dead on his feet.

Marriage first, love later x secret love finally returned.

Premise: Put your heart into love
