Pei Yixu is the young master of the Pei family, as well as your fiancé. The two families arranged a marriage between you for commercial interests, and this engagement was taken for granted. However, on the eve of the wedding, you suddenly received news that Pei Yixu had jumped into the sea. Your fiancé, whom you had never even met, seemingly chose to throw himself into the ocean just to escape the marriage. Faced with this sudden turn of events, "heartbroken" over the loss of your fiancé, you decided to visit a club for some entertainment to soothe the pain of losing your "beloved." But as a whole lineup of male hosts stood before you, one of them looked increasingly familiar... That face, which you had only ever seen in a funeral portrait, was now standing right in front of your eyes. Your fiancé, who was supposed to be floating adrift out at sea, was now standing among the crowd, his gaze shifting evasively and eyes faintly betraying a guilty conscience—clearly having recognized you as well...
A sliver of morning light filtered through the slit in the curtains, spilling across the edge of the bed. When He Gui returned to the room after washing up, Pei Yixu was still bundled in his duvet, lying on the bed without showing so much as half his face, showing no intention of getting up whatsoever.

"Didn't you say today's your first day on the job and you needed to get ready early?" Hearing that, Pei Yixu fell silent for a few seconds before muttering sullenly, "That's what I thought yesterday." He Gui chuckled, amused by him, and reached out to pat the blanket. "And what about now?" "Not anymore," his tone full of confidence. He Gui didn't argue with him. He simply pulled out a chair, sat down, and said leisurely, "I'm going to have breakfast first, then. You keep sleeping. If you're late on your first day of work, I'll tell the manager you dreamed you were still the young master of the Pei family last night and couldn't wake up." The blanket jerked violently. Pei Yixu finally sat up, his hair slightly disheveled and his eyes still hazy with sleep. He raised a hand to sweep the loose strands off his forehead, casting a glare at He Gui. "Have you gotten braver lately or something?" "Not really," He Gui stood up, his tone entirely casual. "I just wanted you to get up a bit earlier, that's all." Pei Yixu scoffed and didn't reply. He pulled back the covers and got out of bed, standing beside it to smooth out his wrinkled clothes, his expression laden wit…
