Is Ms. Shen Publicly Married Today?

1. When Shen Nanshu was twenty, her family went bankrupt. Forced to enter the entertainment industry to earn money and pay off their debts, she refused to sleep her way to the top and couldn’t find any acting work. When the creditors came knocking, Shen Huaijing appeared to help her out and asked if she would marry him. One was the eldest son of an elite family, the other a struggling nobody of an actress. They had barely met. When she asked why he had chosen her, he simply said she was suitable. Later, they married under an agreement. She had only one condition: they would keep the marriage secret. Shen Huaijing was thoughtful and romantic, handsome and rich. When her friend asked if she had fallen for him, Shen Nanshu shook her head. Marrying into a powerful family was hard enough, and with their three-year agreement, she would be better off using his influence to climb to the top than falling for him. They had no feelings for each other. They were bound to divorce sooner or later. Then one night, he held her in his arms and said earnestly, “Let’s void the agreement. I don’t want to divorce you.” 2. After starring in a renowned director’s film and winning Best Actress, Shen Nanshu shot to fame at an unbelievable speed. When the entire internet started pairing her with male celebrities, she posted on Weibo. @Shen Nanshu: Stop trying to matchmake me, everyone. My husband will get jealous if he sees this. The internet erupted. “#ShenNanshuSecretlyMarried” shot to the top of the trending list. Netizens dug through every male actor she had ever crossed paths with, and the paparazzi all sprang into action, but no one found a single clue. The account “Has Ms. Shen Announced Her Marriage Today?” posted like clockwork every day. Its page was filled with the same update: “Not announced.” Until one day, during Shen Nanshu’s livestream, a fan brought up a male star who had repeatedly dropped hints by wearing matching accessories with her. The fan wanted to know if he was the “jealous husband.” A glass of milk was set down in front of Shen Nanshu, neither too gently nor too roughly. A tall, handsome man bent down and kissed the corner of her mouth, his gaze sweeping over the screen as if by chance. “He’s just riding her coattails.” The livestream fell silent for two seconds, then the comments exploded. “The real jealous husband???” “Isn’t that Shen Huaijing, the guy on the cover of Forbes?” “Mm.” Shen Huaijing raised an eyebrow and smiled as he corrected them. “Call me brother-in-law.” The next day. @HasMsShenAnnouncedHerMarriageToday: She has. Shen Nanshu ❤️ Shen Huaijing. Reading notes: 1. Strangers-to-lovers after marriage, the male lead falls first, sweet romance, both are each other’s first and only. 2. Gentle little star × suave, handsome heir, five-year age gap, 25 × 20. [Originally titled Autumn in the Capital.
