I was one of the most popular female celebrities on the internet when I suddenly announced my marriage into a wealthy family. Three months after getting married, I joined a couple's live-stream reality show out of the blue. The whole internet mocked me. [Attention seeker. Our sister just joined this show, and she immediately glued herself to it.] [Definitely won't be as sweet as our Harper.] [Of course not, it's a business marriage between wealthy families. What feelings could they possibly have?] The show's production team gave me a mission. I kept a cold face and tested my husband, saying, "I know everything." To everyone's shock, the usually aloof and arrogant CEO fell to his knees with a thud. Netizens: [Did he cheat? Dropping to his knees immediately?] "I borrowed some money, just for some cash flow." Netizens: [He's actually bankrupt! Otherwise, why would he marry an actress?] I was startled. "How much did you borrow?" His handsome face showed a hint of guilt. "It was quite expensive." "I bought an annual SVIP subscription to a streaming platform." "To binge-watch your TV dramas." Netizens: [Brother-in-law, I'm crying! You really ask for the moon!] 1 The day I announced my marriage, Twitter crashed. It was a rare event. Countless netizens questioned why I was so love-struck. Abandoning a bright future to gamble on a man's love. A group of my biggest fans and dedicated career-focused supporters were heartbroken. They publicly questioned me on Twitter: [Are you that desperate for a man?] [With your money, what kind of man can't you find?] [Are you that starved for attention?] [We're not stopping you from dating, but at least pick someone decent! If nothing else, look at Harper next door. Her husband is a famous director who can give her resources, and he's super handsome.] Harper was an actress from my cohort. Our fanbases often clashed, but in reality, we didn't interact much. Shortly after she got married, I announced my own marriage. I thought netizens would bless me just as they blessed her. But I didn't expect... To be scolded terribly. Even though I emphasized that he was really handsome and rich. In the eyes of netizens: [When you're infatuated, even sh*t smells good.] Right after, Harper announced she was participating in a couple's live-stream reality show. The production team used me as a foil and tried to invite me. I originally didn't plan on participating in this show. But a long-time fan wrote a letter saying: [Sister, we're not against you dating. We really hope you find your own happiness. It's just that your sudden marriage, without any build-up about your husband's identity, and without any trace of your romance, makes us worry. We're not against it; we're just worried. Worried that you married the wrong person, worried that your career will stall because of this relationship, and eventually, you'll lose both love and career. But, regardless, congratulations on finding happiness and starting a new chapter in your life. May the rest of your life be filled with joy, and may everything go smoothly. Stay happy.] I decided to join the show. Consider it an explanation to my fans. My relationship with him is actually quite good. It wasn't a traditional arranged marriage where love comes later. There was a long period of "trial marriage" beforehand. I fell in love with him at first sight. Among the scions of wealthy families in arranged marriages, his character and looks were top-tier. Since an arranged marriage was inevitable, why not choose someone pleasing to the eye? I decided it had to be him from the very beginning. The beginning of the story: The Reserved Mr. Moore and the Passionate Miss Davis. I tirelessly recommended the TV dramas I starred in to him. Praying the big boss would invest. Also praying the big boss would be won over by my multifaceted charm. The development of the story: The Gentle Mr. Moore and the Tsundere Miss Davis. He unexpectedly visited the set where I was filming. Saw my desperate dedication. He felt bad but was moved by the light of my chasing dreams. He began escorting my career. I listened to my best friend, playing hard to get. Being a tease is the perfect solution. The climax of the story: The Refined Mr. Moore and the Successful Miss Davis. The resources he fed me, combined with my acting skills, helped me shed the "internet celebrity" label and become a respected actress. The lack of major awards was only due to insufficient seniority; I just hadn't put in the time yet. The ending of the story: The Clingy Mr. Moore and the Composed Miss Davis. According to normal couple reality shows, our dynamic was perfectly fine. We could even gain a lot of fans. But I didn't expect the show's format to be a live-streamed daily life experience. With hidden cameras installed. And we couldn't inform our partners about the hidden cameras. But some of his actions were really unbroadcastable! If broadcasted, the stream would be banned in minutes. But I had already boarded the pirate ship and couldn't get off. The contract was signed. 2 The day the show premiered. As soon as I appeared in the live stream. The whole internet mocked me. [Attention seeker, saw our Harper joined, so you glued yourself to it too?] [So what if she joined? Definitely won't be as sweet as our Harper. After all, that couple is publicly recognized as a perfect match.] I had just invited the cameraman in to install the hidden cameras. After netizens saw the decor of my house clearly, their tone changed a bit, but not much. [That painting? Seems like a unique piece? A 9-figure price tag?] [So she did marry into a wealthy family?] [Just a business marriage. Her husband must be ugly and frustrating, unlike Harper's husband who is handsome and talented!] [Just using money to disguise the coldness and loneliness at home.] My husband wasn't home yet. Bored, I clicked into Harper's live stream. The comments were all shipping them as a couple. Hmm, so envious. Looking back at my own comments. I felt a bit stifled. I opened my phone's chat box and asked: [How long until you get back?] Ethan Moore: [Something wrong?] I glanced at the director team; I couldn't reveal information about the show. It was a genuine live stream of married life. I was a bit stuck. I just typed a short reply. [Nothing.] I shouldn't have asked! The comments started a new round of mockery. [Mhm, I can tell they are a plastic couple.] [Not just an ordinary plastic couple! Look at that contact name, very official for a plastic couple.] [Just the full name. I rarely see such contact names among loving couples.] Me: ... The previous contact name was a bit unpresentable. I specially changed it before coming on the show. Forget it, don't be angry, don't be angry. According to Ethan's routine, he would be home in less than half an hour. The netizens' stereotypes would be shattered immediately. I casually turned on a TV drama, preparing to boost my own view count. Less than half an hour later. The light in the entryway turned on. A man's broad figure stepped in, wrapped in the cold wind from outside. He casually hung his dark overcoat on the coat rack nearby and loosened his tie with long, distinct fingers. His gaze swept over, softening instantly. It wasn't until Ethan walked further in that the hidden camera captured his full face. Deep-set eyes. When his gaze fell, the surrounding air seemed to tremble slightly. A refined jawline, thin lips pressed lightly together. His steps were steady, and in his hand, he carried a sweet little cake that completely clashed with his aura. The comments went crazy instantly: [Ahhh! She really scored big!] [No one said you could meet someone this handsome in a business marriage!] [F*ck, this guy's identity is not ordinary either, he's the Prince of the Capital Circle!] [Sienna Davis, when you said he was handsome, you were telling the truth?! You really scored big!] [Even without love! Eating this well is worth it.] [Thought your family was rich, didn't think they were THIS rich! Girl, how can I get your life script?] 3 He walked over quickly, not rushing to sit down, and carefully placed the cake on the coffee table. He leaned down, his warm chest pressing against me, directly pulling me into his arms, resting his chin on my shoulder. His low, husky voice was wrapped in fatigue and intimacy, "Hug." A crisp, woody fragrance entered my nose. I was silent for a moment; his warm breath tickled the side of my neck. I tried to push him away, but he hugged me tighter. His slightly cool nose tip rubbed against my neck, getting more addicted the more he rubbed. His hot breath hit my earlobe, tinging the tip with a light red. He suddenly sat up straight, eyelashes lowered, but the corners of his eyes turned up, dark light churning in his pupils. His gaze scraped over the side of my neck inch by inch, resting on the shallow hollow of my collarbone, carrying a scorching breath. It burned my skin tight. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his gaze glued to my collarbone, refusing to move. I hurriedly pushed him away. He reached out, leaning backward, ready to pull me into his arms again. I stood up, moving further away from him. His deep, dark eyes revealed hints of grievance. The comments were a bit confused: [???] [Is the Prince this clingy?] [Wait, is this right? Who said this was artificial sweetness! Look at their natural, intimate state. If we weren't here, it'd probably be R-rated content by now!] [Actually, is it possible they knew about the live stream in advance and are acting for us?] [The Prince's usual image is completely different from now. This is absolutely acting for us!] I remembered the first task the production team gave me. I took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to hug him. He retracted his gaze, somewhat disappointed, and pushed the little cake on the coffee table towards me. His low, husky voice carried fatigue, "Bought it passing by." I stared at the bakery's logo. It was in the opposite direction from the company, almost across the city. But I didn't expose him. I just glanced lightly at the cake. Turned to look at him, and said coldly, "I know everything." He lowered his head and eyes, a flash of panic crossing his deep pupils. My heart skipped a beat. He really had something! What was he hiding?! Looking at the camera in front of me, Director Qian's voice came through my earpiece. "Ask again." I braced myself, keeping my face cold. "What you did, I know it all." "Are you going to confess yourself, or..." I took out my phone, hadn't even started contacting anyone yet. He hurriedly pressed down on my phone and dropped to his knees with a thud. My scalp tingled. His usually proud, straight back curved, his knees smashing onto the floor without warning. The muffled thud made my heart tremble. What huge mistake did he make! Holy crap. Could it be, on the first day of the live stream. I'm going to crash and burn? And I said I'd let fans witness that I'm doing well. Now... The comments were already watching the show eagerly: [Holy crap, is this the rumored aloof Prince of the Capital Circle? What huge mistake did he make? Dropping to his knees directly?] [This look, I've only seen it on cheating scumbags!] [Cheating? Is it this exciting on the first day of recording?] [Hahahaha! I believe the production team has no script now, the other couple is truly sweet!] [So the initial intimacy makes sense now. After all, cheating scumbags always use this trick to comfort their wives at home.] 4 I took a deep breath, suppressed the churning emotions in my heart, maintained my cold expression, and said flatly, "Speak." Ethan's jawline tightened, the tips of his ears flushing with a thin red. "I borrowed some money, just for some cash flow." The comments flooded the screen instantly. [Is he bankrupt?] [Sienna just married into the family not long ago, and he's bankrupt? I'm afraid this is a scam targeting Sienna.] [Sigh, advised her then not to be love-struck, not to fantasize about marrying into a wealthy family, now look...] [Makes sense, if he wasn't bankrupt, why would a wealthy family marry an actress?] [Meaning, Sienna is carrying a mountain of debt now?] I sighed softly, borrowed... some money?! My tone trembled with surprise, "How much did you borrow?" He actually used it for cash flow. I started calculating, if I divorce now. How many years would I have to work in the entertainment industry to pay off the debt? He hesitated slightly. "A bit expensive." My vision went black. As if I could already see a dark future ahead. He continued to speak. "To subscribe to a streaming platform's SVIP." The comments were already getting lively: [???] [Is this the streaming SVIP I know?] [No no no, it must be the rumored dark web, definitely not a streaming platform's SVIP!] [CEOs all have rumored unlimited black cards.] I laughed in anger. Wait, you... Are just fear-mongering! A streaming SVIP used for cash flow? He quickly added, "To binge-watch your TV dramas." The comments went crazy, screen full of: [!!!] [You dare play us?] [Brother-in-law, you really do ask for the moon.] [No, an SVIP for a streaming platform, is it worth you using 'cash flow' for?] Seeing me silent. He started speaking softly again. Explaining: "I knew you had a streaming membership, but your 'Red Beans' (fanbase name) said nowadays TV dramas depend on new user acquisition rates and viewing duration, so I subscribed." I raised an eyebrow, not speaking. He paused, "I know you hate the process of faking traffic and data, wanting to rely on your own strength, but for your TV drama, I still wanted to show some support." My cold eyes lifted. "Just for this little bit of money, you used the phrase 'cash flow'?" Director Qian's confused voice came through the earpiece. "Does your husband not even have pocket money usually?" I felt a bit guilty, hurriedly explained smoothly. "Although your primary card is with me, didn't I give you a supplementary card?" Ethan spoke softly, "But then wouldn't you see the transaction history? I didn't dare use it." Comments: [???] [No, bro, you...] [As a CEO, shouldn't you be arrogant, cool, domineering, and dazzling? Need 'cash flow' just for a streaming membership?] He paused for a moment. "As for cash flow, Carter Zane's family situation is similar to ours." "I borrowed the money he uses for smoking this month, promised him that once my cash flow recovers, I'll pay him back immediately." I took a deep breath, eyes looking indescribable. "How are you going to recover your cash flow?" His guilty gaze drifted to the little cake on the table. "This little cake, I transferred a bit more money to the shop, and the shop gave me a kickback." I felt a bit numb. Stared silently at Ethan. Ethan suddenly hooked the corner of his mouth, "You didn't know? You tricked me?" I felt guilty. Thinking about how to resolve this situation. He loosened his tie, speaking seamlessly. "This room, the heating is a bit strong." Started taking off his clothes one by one. Until, only a shirt remained. Looking up, his eyes somewhat impassioned. "Sienna, do you want to tear this shirt for fun?" The comments had become screaming chickens. [Ahhh!] [No wonder Sienna saw her brother-in-law kneel and had no reaction, looks like they often play this kind of game.] [I want to see too, brother-in-law's body should be pretty good.]
