Mu Shini, desperate to escape a forced marriage to an elderly man, impulsively hops into a stranger's car. The handsome driver, Bo Sishen, realizes she's the woman his grandfather wants him to marry. After Mu Shini insults his appearance and offers him money to drive her away, he agrees. However, when she mentions his name and her intention to avoid marrying him, Bo Sishen abruptly stops the car and kicks her out. He then immediately calls to arrange their marriage certificate and inform her she is the new Madam of the Bao Family.

Mu Shini utilized the subway system to reach the modest apartment of her closest friend, Li Xiaotian, situated close to their school.

The instant the door swung open, Li Xiaotian thrust her phone into Mu Shini's hands, exclaiming, "It's your father! Quickly, he's called several times!"

Mu Shini hadn't even settled down when her father's call was directed to Li Xiaotian's phone?

As she contemplated how to address her father, a voice brimming with elation resonated from the other end of the line; it was Wen Chunlan. "Shini! I never imagined you'd actually go through with registering the marriage! However, the Bao Family has sent word that the 1 billion yuan will be presented as a betrothal gift to the Mu Family during the wedding. They will guarantee the Mu Family's operations during this interim period, but should you withdraw or fail to perform your duties adequately, that 1 billion yuan will be forfeited. Shini, my dear, I implore you, you must diligently serve as the Second Young Madam of the Bao Family! Do not cause us any distress!"

Second Young Madam of the Bao Family?

What on earth was transpiring?

She had definitively not proceeded with the marriage registration!

She had turned and departed the moment she arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau!

Furthermore, she was merely 18 years old! How could she possibly have obtained a marriage certificate?

She hadn't even been present in person; how could the marriage possibly have been registered?

"Shini, during this period, your marriage to the Bao Family's Second Young Master, Bo Sishen, is to remain a closely guarded secret. We cannot afford to offend Bo Sishen. Now that you hold the position of the Bao Family's Second Young Madam, you must adhere strictly to the established rules. Only after Bo Sishen retires and officially assumes control of the Bo Group in two years' time can the wedding be held."

Setting aside other concerns, Mu Shini's brow furrowed in skepticism. Considering Bo Sishen's notoriously frail constitution, how could he possibly manage a sprawling corporation?

Was he not, in fact, not in his thirties, but rather seventy or even eighty years of age?

...

"Nian Nian, you got married? What's happening? Why weren't we informed?" Li Xiaotian inquired, gazing at Mu Shini, who had just ended the call, as if she had stumbled upon a hidden continent. "Who did you marry? The Crown Prince of Ye Group, Ye Shaochen? You're both only 18, how is it possible you've married? Was it due to family pressure?"

Li Xiaotian's barrage of questions left Mu Shini feeling somewhat overwhelmed. She shook her head and replied, "It's not Ye Shaochen; it's someone else... Moreover, Ye Shaochen was unfaithful!"

After speaking extensively, Li Xiaotian suddenly felt parched. She reached for a cup of water, took a sip, and immediately expelled the liquid with a startled "Pfft!"

"No way! Ye Shaochen was unfaithful? He left someone as beautiful as you and cheated? With whom? Tell me, I'll go beat them up!"

Li Xiaotian rolled up her sleeves, gritting her teeth, and declared fiercely.

"Mu Xuerou." Mu Shini stated with remarkable calmness, as if discussing a matter of little consequence.

"What? Mu Xuerou? That little vixen dared to steal your boyfriend? Damn it! She vies with you for everything, and now she's even taken your man? Where is her sense of shame!" Li Xiaotian exclaimed indignantly, rising to her feet immediately. "Nian Nian, I'll go teach them a lesson on your behalf."

"Forget it, Xia Tian! Don't go! I consider myself fortunate to have witnessed Ye Shaochen's true colors before things progressed to the point of sharing a bed,"

Mu Shini extended her hand, restraining the impetuous Li Xiaotian, and shook her head.

Li Xiaotian regarded Mu Shini with a countenance etched with concern, scrutinizing her intently. "Nian Nian, are you truly... alright?"

After all, Mu Shini and Ye Shaochen had been in a committed relationship since their sophomore year of high school, spanning a duration of three years.

Ye Shaochen, the Crown Prince of Ye Group from Qingcheng, was known for his ostentatious demeanor at school and his penchant for attracting attention.

When Li Xiaotian first learned of Mu Shini and Ye Shaochen's union, she expressed disbelief. She had never anticipated that Mu Shini would manage to escape Ye Shaochen's influence.

As Mu Shini's loyal friend, she had naturally offered her heartfelt blessings!

Yet, she had never foreseen that Ye Shaochen would be unfaithful!

And to none other than Mu Shini's own half-sister!
