He is the No. 1 man in medicine and a partner in Asia’s largest pharmaceutical company. He looks like a perfect gentleman, but beneath the surface he is calculating and possessive.

She is a mysterious, aloof dentist who runs a private clinic. Everyone calls her a goddess, but around him she turns into a total goofball.

One day, Qiao Nan asked her, “Your ex is out of the picture. How about I take his place?”

A few days later, she came running to him. “I don’t want you to be my boyfriend, but could you be my husband?”

He bought a diamond ring, and they went straight to the marriage registration office. Just like that, Laidi became Mrs. Qiao.

Some people said Qiao Nan had married a woman of dubious origins just to forget someone, and that anyone could have taken her place, as long as she wasn’t that person.

Another day, Laidi asked Qiao Nan, “Is what she said true?”

Qiao Nan breathed into her ear. “Whether it’s true or not, you’ll feel it most deeply.”
