When Jin Nian was about to get engaged, she caught her drunk boyfriend calling his first love while he cried. "Please tell me how I can stop thinking about you!"

"Stop crying. You two should just get married. Don't ever leave each other!" Jin Nian exclaimed.

Jin Nian called off the engagement without hesitation, but her relatives berated her for being clueless. Feeling exhausted, Jin Nian wanted to marry someone randomly. She reached out to her childhood best friend on the internet. "Do you want to marry me? We know each other well. Let's just make do with this arrangement."

One second after she sent the message, Jiang Qingchi replied. "Is being with me considered making do?"

"No, no, no. You have an expensive house and an expensive car. You're way out of my league!"

"Bring your household booklet. I'll meet you in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau," Jiang Qingchi said.

"Huh?" Jin Nian was confused. That was the story of how they got married in a flash.

One night, Jin Nian's ex-boyfriend realized he couldn't forget about her. He was prepared for her to get back together with him.

To his surprise, the person who opened the door was Jin Nian's husband, Jiang Qingchi! Jiang Qingchi was wearing a bathrobe, and there were visible love bites on his neck. He smiled vaguely. "Are you looking for my wife?"

One morning after their marriage was exposed, Jin Nian woke up feeling sore throughout her body. She unintentionally overheard Jiang Qingchi speaking to someone on the phone.

He was watering flowers on the balcony, and he had a cigarette between his lips. He clutched his phone between his neck and his shoulder. "I don't care how much money you offer me. All I want is Jin Nian."

Jin Nian was speechless. He didn't have to exaggerate their fake romance!

Later, Jin Nian coincidentally came across an old book on a shelf. It was her gift to Jiang Qingchi on his eighteenth birthday. The pages were nearly falling apart. On the last page, she could read Jiang Qingchi's beautiful handwriting. "Jin Nian, when can you turn around and look at me? You're so dense." 

Do You Want to Marry Me?

Jin Nian finally came to understand why Gao Qingming always seemed to oppose her.

Although he was now the leader of the makeup team, just a year ago when he was an ordinary employee, he had been reprimanded by his boss, Lin Qianyu, for a minor issue. Lin Qianyu had said, "Look at Jin Nian, then look at yourself. Learn from her!"

Gao Qingming had been unconvinced ever since then. He had developed a strong dislike for Jin Nian and seemed to oppose her at every turn.

On the other hand, Jin Nian hadn't done anything to provoke him, yet she found herself the object of his inexplicable animosity. It was as if trouble found her even when she was minding her own business.

Lately, Jin Nian had been eating her meals in the cafeteria, which had made Lu An unhappy. Lu An even called her during working hours and asked her to come upstairs.

Annoyed, Jin Nian sent a stern WeChat message, "Don't disturb my work!"
