By Day, I Call Him CEO; By Night, He Calls Me Wife

With her father gravely ill, Yan Shu prepares to propose to her boyfriend of three years, only to accidentally catch him passionately kissing her cousin's husband in a taxi.

Heartbroken, Yan Shu opens her contacts and finds the man who once proposed to her. Eyes closed, she sends him a message:

"Tomorrow morning at nine, at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Are you coming?"

The next day, Yan Shu sees her direct supervisor, the man her boyfriend fears most, Huo Yucheng, outside the Civil Affairs Bureau.

He holds a household register in his hand and looks at her with calm indifference.

"Weren't we going to get our marriage certificate? I brought all the documents."

Only then does Yan Shu realize she sent last night's message to the wrong person.

With her father running out of time, she has no choice but to grit her teeth and get the marriage certificate with him.

They agreed it would be a marriage of convenience, each getting what they needed. But Huo Yucheng takes his role as her "husband" more and more seriously:

He brings her a cup of warm milk when she works late, remembers all her little habits, and holds her hand by her father's hospital bed as he calls him "Dad."

Until one day, drunk, he pins her against a wall and reveals a secret he has kept for three years in a hoarse voice:

"Shu Shu, I've been waiting for that message from you... for three years."

Yan Shu suddenly laughs.

So the person who truly loves you has had the household register ready all along, just waiting for you to give the word.
