◆A ruthless CEO in public, a foolish childhood friend in private x a rebellious, free-spirited, dazzling actress
1.
Everyone in City A knows the Gu family, giants in the investment world. Their son, Gu Yan, seems all charm but utterly useless. No one knows that he smiles all day, then bankrupts a company by night.
Shen Jianxi has always lived openly and honestly, so she despises her hypocritical childhood friend most of all. But fate has dealt her a cruel hand: her sworn enemy is about to become her husband.
“These are the rules for our marriage. Please read them carefully.”
The man behind the desk cuts off a meeting, a hint of amusement in his eyes. “It's been years. Have you fallen so far that you need me to support you?”
Shen Jianxi scoffs and turns to leave. A sudden movement comes from behind her: Gu Yan stamps the papers.
Gu Yan stands, pressing her back until she can't retreat any farther, her lower back against the edge of the desk. He chuckles. “But it might be fun to get under your skin another way.”

Shen Jianxi soon understands what he means by “getting under her skin.”
Rule one: Keep at least one meter apart.
At a meeting between their families, he approaches with a cold expression and clings to her, nothing like the abstinent CEO who just finished manipulating the business world.
Rule two: Don't get carried away.
At a class reunion, he reveals a neck covered in red marks, pulls her over in front of everyone, and smiles. “Call her sister-in-law now.”
Rule three: Inappropriate behavior is strictly forbidden.
But he goes beyond “inappropriate,” sharing her bed and forcing her to make a series of suggestive sounds.
At last, Shen Jianxi becomes an overnight sensation. Just as she's about to throw money at him to get him out of the house
The bathroom door is flung open, and the newcomer snatches her phone.
Staring at the words “legal separation,” Gu Yan sneers. “We've shared a bed for so long. Shen Jianxi, are you really willing to leave?”
Shen Jianxi raises a hand to fight back, but suddenly someone's hand clamps tightly around her neck!
Gu Yan stares straight at her, his voice low and seductive.
“Stay with me for one last night, Jianxi... I'll trade you your freedom for the marriage certificate.”

P.S.:
They're genuine enemies at first, with no secret crushes.
