Pei Xinglu is the illegitimate son of the wealthy Pei family in City A. Since childhood, his father never acknowledged him, his mother abandoned him, and he lived with his grandmother. To pay off debts, he dropped out of school and worked odd jobs. He was discovered by a talent scout and entered the entertainment industry.
The Pei family, in his life, was as good as dead. Until one day, they suddenly came knocking, enthusiastic and excited, saying they wanted to introduce him to someone.
Pei Xinglu sneered: “A business marriage alliance?”
Scumbag father: “No, a marriage to ward off misfortune.”
Pei Xinglu: “?”
Scumbag father: “With the young master of the Ling family.”
Pei Xinglu: “???”
Even more insidious than the Pei family is the Ling family. The second young master plays the villain, using blacklisting and resources to threaten and coerce.
Madam Ling plays the good cop, crying and pleading for Pei Xinglu to agree. The eldest young master directly lays out a contract.
Three years, guaranteed profit, fair and square.
Pei Xinglu gritted his teeth in anger, forced to agree, treating it as a three-year part-time job as a male nurse.
Dragging his suitcase, Pei Xinglu moved into the Ling young master’s villa, full of resentment.
On the staircase,
“My husband?”
His marriage-to-ward-off-misfortune partner, Ling Suiyao, with his hair sticking up at the forehead, was half-asleep.
Pale, delicate, beautiful, slender, like a fragile porcelain doll. The corners of his eyes were still red, as if one harsh word would make him cry.
Pei Xinglu: “You bastard” (crossed out).
After Ling Suiyao woke up, he discovered he had acquired a legal husband. Very handsome. Very arrogant. Very aloof. But no matter how he looked at him, this handsome man resembled.
A once wildly popular boy-band member who had passed away.
A current top star who skyrocketed to fame through a phenomenon-level drama.
And also…
Ling Suiyao picked up his phone and opened his secret Weibo account.
@Suisui’s Little Rice Cake: “Ahhhhh Pei Xinglu is my new husband!”
That’s right, it was also his “idol husband” [crossed out], his real husband, Pei Xinglu.

On Douban forums, skyscrapers rise one after another.
“Has no one gossiped about Pei Dog’s new variety show?
Why does his noble, cold, pretentious persona look so cheap when he smiles?”
“Shocking! Am I the only one who thinks Pei Nouveau Riche has been showing off like a peacock lately?”
“Big scoop guaranteed! Pei Dog married into a wealthy family! Rumor says he married in as a son-in-law!”
“Case solved! Pei Nouveau Riche is living off his spouse! There are photos as proof! The other party is the Ling family’s young master!”
“Hurry to Qingti livestream! Entertainment section, year after year! Pei Dog’s wife!”

After Ling Suiyao finished livestreaming, Pei Xinglu immediately hugged him from behind, speaking pitifully.
“Baby, those hateful people online are mocking me. They say I’m living off you.”
Ling Suiyao blushed, earnestly clarifying: “You’re not.”
Pei Xinglu sniffed his neck like a puppy, kissed him, and said,
“Baby, you smell so good. I want to live off you for a lifetime.” The entire internet exploded.
One-sentence synopsis: Marrying into a wealthy family to ward off misfortune for a sickly young master.
