Huo Qingwan is Hong Kong City's famously pampered heiress, adored by everyone around her.
Her dresses must be the latest couture, her jewelry must be rare collector's pieces, and she spends money as freely as water flows.
People say she's picky about looks and that appearance and physique top her list of priorities. While everyone secretly gossips about which prince among men could hold her affections for long, news of a marriage alliance between their families takes the world by storm.
Fu Yuchi, the head of a wealthy family, is cool, aloof, and proud. A small coffee-colored mole beneath his eye and a face that could bewitch anyone belie his famously ruthless way of doing things.
Rumors spread in every direction. Everyone in their social circle says the heiress is in for a hard time.
On the eve of drafting their prenuptial agreement, Huo Qingwan finds the man at the center of the rumors. "Mr. Fu, everyone says you won't indulge me in this marriage alliance. Shouldn't you come out and clear things up?"
Fu Yuchi looks up, seemingly unconcerned. "Miss Huo, this is a marriage of convenience."
Huo Qingwan is confused. "I know. So?"
"You should prepare yourself for the rumors to be true."

The negotiations fail, but Huo Qingwan continues to flit between the fashion shows of Hong Kong Island and Beicheng, living a life of utter ease.
After more than half a month away on a business trip, Fu Yuchi unexpectedly runs into her at a banquet.
Fu Yuchi taps the stem of his wine glass with his knuckles and gives the man beside her a cold look. "You've been away from home for so long, Mrs. Fu. Have you forgotten about your newlywed husband?"
Huo Qingwan blinks innocently. "Didn't you agree we'd stay out of each other's way?"
Fu Yuchi strides over and bends to take her hand. "I think there's been a misunderstanding between us."
Later, rumors that the two can't get along disappear completely.
He begins mentioning her name frequently in public, never takes off his wedding ring, and even flies thousands of miles to buy her an outrageously expensive sapphire crown she likes.
The gifts glittering around their home pile up like a mountain, and the pampered heiress is gradually transformed into a true princess in his hands.
Huo Qingwan can't figure out his attitude. One night, she stops the man, bare-chested and muscular, and asks what he means.
Fu Yuchi fixes his gaze on her, his tone languid and casual. "I've changed my mind."
"Is that a problem?"
[Bonus Scene]
Fu Yuchi soon discovers that Huo Qingwan is pampered in every possible way. When a reporter tries to stir things up during an interview by asking how he feels about it, the usually aloof and dignified family head answers solemnly:
"I'm happy to hold my wife in the palm of my hand."
"She's brilliant as a pearl. Marrying her is my honor."
The online crowd, who had been waiting to watch the fake rich couple's drama unfold: Another one has switched teams!
