My Fake Wife – Xie Yibo, Guo Jiayu

The Xia family, with a girl in a wedding dress, is being rudely pushed to the ground by another girl. The one in the wedding dress is Miss Xia Miaomiao (played by Guo Jiayu), the second young lady of the Xia family. The one pushing her is her sister, Xia Jingxi. Xia Jingxi has a prior engagement with the second young master of the Leng family, Leng Zhixing (played by Xie Yibo). However, Leng Zhixing had a car accident six years ago that left him disabled, and he has been in a wheelchair ever since. It is said that he can no longer function as a man. Therefore, Xia Jingxi does not want to marry him and face a lonely life. Xia Miaomiao is an adopted daughter of the Xia family, and the family plans to marry her off to preserve their business. Otherwise, the Xia family's business will have to close down.

Xia Miaomiao's wedding is quite desolate, with no one to send her off. When she reaches Leng Zhixing's room, it's empty. Hearing a sound from the bathroom, Xia Miaomiao goes in to check and accidentally slips, falling into the arms of Leng Zhixing, who is taking a bath.

Leng Zhixing is indifferent to the woman forced upon him by his grandfather, considering her a gold-digger after the Leng family's assets. Consequently, he keeps Xia Miaomiao at a distance, not even allowing her on his bed. Leng Jiaxuan, Leng Zhixing's third brother, has always been in conflict with him. Leng Zhixing knows that Leng Jiaxuan is somehow connected to the car accident six years ago. Grandfather insists that Leng Zhixing firmly secure the position of the president of the Leng Corporation. This infuriates Leng Jiaxuan, who marries Xia Jingxi, who has been with him since the age of eighteen. Leng Jiaxuan claims that she is entirely his, from head to toe. Leng Zhixing is disgusted by this, especially when it comes to Xia Miaomiao.

Leng Jiaxuan transferred his anger to Leng Zhixing for marrying his woman. Consequently, he angrily overturned Leng Zhixing's wheelchair, leaving him in a helpless state on the ground. Upon returning to his room, he found Xia Miaomiao reading. Leng Zhixing unleashed a barrage of accusations at Xia Miaomiao, criticizing her for having a rich emotional life and attracting men at the age of eighteen. Despite Xia Miaomiao's distress, Leng Zhixing did not allow her to explain and promptly expelled her from the room.

As Xia Miaomiao walked away, tears streaming down her face, she couldn't comprehend why Leng Zhixing had spoken to her in such a manner. After crying for a while, she realized that Leng Zhixing was not a normal person, and there was no point in arguing with him. As the sky darkened, the street suddenly filled with noisy footsteps. Xia Miaomiao was unexpectedly pulled into a corner by a masked man, causing her fear. The man tightly covered her mouth until the pursuers passed by. Afterward, he revealed himself as Leng Zhixing, handed her a business card, and instructed her to contact him if she ever got hurt.

After the man left, Xia Miaomiao thought he resembled Leng Zhixing, but his agility contradicted Leng Zhixing's condition. Indeed, the masked man was Leng Zhixing. He had gone out to investigate Leng Jiaxuan, and upon returning to his office, he ordered his subordinates to bring back his wife. However, they informed him that his wife was at a bar having a date with Leng Jiaxuan. Infuriated, Leng Zhixing, upon seeing the photos taken by his subordinates, laughed instead of getting angry. He then commanded them to promptly investigate who exactly he had married. In the end, Leng Zhixing learned that he had married Xia Miaomiao, the adopted daughter of the Xia family and a medical graduate student.

Xia Miaomiao (played by Guo Jiayu) slept on the sofa in the bedroom at night. In the middle of the night, Leng Zhixing (played by Xie Yibo) had a nightmare, reliving the scene of his car accident. Seeing his unease, Xia Miaomiao hurriedly came over to comfort him. However, Leng Zhixing tightly held her hand, and she had no choice but to sleep beside him. In the morning, Leng Zhixing was surprised to find Xia Miaomiao had slept through the night, taking care of him. He apologized to her and, as Xia Miaomiao checked his pulse, she discovered he suffered from severe insomnia. She suggested making more medicine packs next time.

Leng Zhixing asked Xia Miaomiao to attend a birthday celebration where he would meet his grandfather. Grandfather was delighted to see that Leng Zhixing had finally married Xia Jingxi according to his wishes. He intended to gift her 5% of Leng Group's shares. However, Xia Miaomiao revealed the truth that she was a stand-in bride. Grandfather, enraged, fainted when Leng Zhixing showed him pictures of Xia Jingxi and Leng Jiaxuan having fun together.

Xia Miaomiao promptly administered first aid, and when the doctor arrived, Grandfather was out of danger. The doctor praised Xia Miaomiao for her accurate judgment of the situation, foreseeing a promising future for her. Grandfather informed Leng Zhixing that only the two of them were left in the Leng family and whoever could handle Mosnian of the Empire Group would be entrusted with the presidency of Leng Group. Hearing that Mosnian always wore a mask, making dealings difficult, Xia Miaomiao, on the side, revealed the business card she received from the masked man that night.

Leng Zhixing (played by Xie Yibo) escorted Xia Miaomiao (played by Guo Jiayu) back to school. Shixiong Yuhang had always liked Xia Miaomiao, but she informed him that she had already married Leng Zhixing, making a relationship with him impossible. Yuhang, upon hearing that Xia Miaomiao had married her cousin, immediately planned to talk to her about it, not wanting her to be held back by someone with a disability. Leng Zhixing happened to come to the school to pick up Xia Miaomiao and completely ignored Yuhang, taking her back home.

That night, Xia Miaomiao studied hard. She aimed to enter the pharmaceutical research institute of Leng Group based on her own abilities. Leng Zhixing suggested that she didn't need to work so hard, and to spare her from unnecessary effort, he fell asleep with Xia Miaomiao's English-Chinese dictionary as his pillow. Watching him sleep with his eyes closed, Xia Miaomiao found it adorable.

Leng Jiaxuan plagiarized Leng Zhixing's plan and discussed cooperation with Mosnian. Grandfather, upon learning of this, scolded Leng Jiaxuan severely. Leng Zhixing asked Xia Miaomiao to accompany him on a business trip. Leng Jiaxuan sent someone to assassinate Leng Zhixing, but thanks to Leng Zhixing's subordinates arriving in time, they rescued him and Xia Miaomiao. On the way, Leng Zhixing experienced post-traumatic stress disorder from his car accident. Xia Miaomiao hurriedly accompanied him to the hospital for an examination, but Leng Zhixing was fine. He even gave Xia Miaomiao a vegetable garden, suggesting she could come there in her free time to grow flowers and vegetables.

Upon learning about Leng Jiaxuan's attack on Leng Zhixing, Grandfather became furious and scolded Leng Jiaxuan harshly. In a fit of whimsy, Leng Jiaxuan actually pushed Grandfather down the stairs.

Leng Jiaxuan took advantage of Grandfather's unconsciousness and used a prepared will to make him press his fingerprint on it. Leng Zhixing (played by Xie Yibo) learned about Grandfather falling down the stairs suddenly and hurriedly came to the hospital with Xia Miaomiao (played by Guo Jiayu). After the doctor's treatment, Grandfather's life was no longer in danger, but he remained unconscious, and when he would wake up was uncertain. Leng Zhixing knew that Leng Jiaxuan must be behind this conspiracy and warned him not to engage in wrongdoing again, or he wouldn't be lenient.

Leng Jiaxuan, eager to advance the cooperative project in Gaojia Village, ordered his subordinates to proceed with it regardless of any obstacles. Xia Miaomiao came to find Leng Zhixing, informing him that her mother's grave was in the project area in Gaojia Village. She hoped Leng Zhixing could stop Leng Jiaxuan from digging up her mother's grave. Leng Zhixing told her not to worry and took her to the site to assess the situation. On the way, Leng Zhixing asked about her mother's situation. Xia Miaomiao showed him a photo of her mother and explained that her mother suffered from a mental illness. Six years ago, she ran out, caused a car accident after hitting someone else's car, and died.

Upon hearing this, Leng Zhixing was shaken to the core. When he saw the photo of Xia Miaomiao's mother, his heartbeat accelerated, and he trembled uncontrollably. He ordered the driver to stop the car and sternly told Xia Miaomiao to get out. It turned out that six years ago, Leng Zhixing's parents were the ones killed in the car accident caused by Xia Miaomiao's mother, and he himself injured his leg in that accident. Despite Xia Miaomiao's persistent phone calls, Leng Zhixing decided not to answer anymore. The realization that her mother was responsible for the death of his parents made him believe that they could never be together.

Yuhang, seeing Xia Miaomiao (played by Guo Jiayu) in such distress, comforted her and shared that his cousin, Leng Zhixing (played by Xie Yibo), used to be quite normal. However, his temperament changed drastically since their parents' car accident six years ago. Feeling the need to clear things up, Xia Miaomiao decided to meet with Leng Zhixing.

Unintentionally, she overheard a conversation between her father and Leng Jiaxuan, where they argued about uneven profit distribution. Leng Jiaxuan casually mentioned the incident from six years ago when Gao Xiaolan (Xia Miaomiao's mother) caused the accident that killed Leng Zhixing's parents. Xia Miaomiao learned that her mother died in a conspiracy, and her adoptive father had been using her all along. Now aware of the reason for her breakup with Leng Zhixing, she resolved to investigate the conspiracy behind the car accident and help him uncover the truth.

Xia Miaomiao called Mosnian, expressing her desire to meet him. Upon meeting, she shared her plans to become the general manager of the Xia family's company and also assist Mosnian in obtaining benefits from Leng Group. Wearing a mask, Leng Zhixing agreed, and a deal was struck. Returning home, Xia Miaomiao found her father welcoming, but her mother accused her of getting too close to Mosnian, especially considering she was Leng Zhixing's wife. During dinner, Xia Miaomiao proposed working at the Xia family's company, surprising her father.

At the Xia family, a girl in a wedding dress, Xia Miaomiao (played by Guo Jiayu), was being forcefully pushed to the ground by her sister, Xia Jingxi. Xia Jingxi and the second young master of Leng Group, Leng Zhixing, had a prior engagement, but due to Leng Zhixing's disability from the car accident six years ago, he was unable to perform his marital duties. Xia Jingxi didn't want to marry him and live as a widow, so the family decided to have Xia Miaomiao marry him instead to save the family business. Xia Miaomiao's wedding was desolate, and when she reached Leng Zhixing's room, it was empty. She heard a sound from the bathroom, entered to check, and accidentally slipped, falling into Leng Zhixing's arms while he was bathing.

Leng Zhixing was indifferent to this forced marriage, believing Xia Miaomiao married him solely for the assets of the Leng family. Consequently, he kept her at a distance, not even allowing her on the bed. Leng Jiaxuan, Leng Zhixing's third brother, engaged in constant rivalry with him. Leng Zhixing knew that Leng Jiaxuan was implicated in the car accident from six years ago. Grandfather urged Leng Zhixing to secure his position as the president of Leng Group. This angered Leng Jiaxuan, who was resentful about Leng Zhixing inheriting the position. He informed Leng Zhixing that he had married Xia Jingxi, who had been with him since the age of eighteen, claiming everything about her belonged to him. Leng Zhixing, upon hearing this, grew even more disgusted with Xia Miaomiao.

Xia Miaomiao approached her father, Xia Zhengnan, expressing her desire to work at Xia Corporation. Xia Mother initially objected, believing Miaomiao, as a recent graduate, couldn't contribute much to the company. Xia Father suggested she start from the grassroots level. However, Miaomiao pointed out that when she married into the Leng family, they helped Xia Corporation during a crisis by purchasing 15% of its shares. Now, she wanted to become the general manager of Xia Corporation. Xia Jingxi protested, asserting that Miaomiao, as an adopted daughter, had no right to compete with her. Xia Zhengnan intervened, emphasizing that the person who secures the position of general manager would be in charge. Remembering that Leng Zhixing had once offered her the Asia-Pacific agency rights for the luxury brand HE as part of their breakup, Miaomiao realized she had to accept this gift from Leng Zhixing.

The university alumni association held a meeting at Du Siyu's vacation resort. Du Siyu intercepted Miaomiao and humiliated her, warning her to stay away from Lin Yuhang. Unwilling to back down, Miaomiao warned Du Siyu not to be too arrogant, or she would face embarrassment. Du Siyu, feeling both embarrassed and angry, conspired with a few close friends to teach Miaomiao a lesson.

Leng Zhixing, upon hearing that Miaomiao attended the university alumni association meeting at Du Siyu's resort, had a foreboding feeling. He immediately wheeled himself out to prepare for the situation. Leng Jiaxuan, angered that Leng Zhixing had married his woman, vented his frustration by overturning Leng Zhixing's wheelchair. Leng Zhixing fell to the ground in a miserable state. Upon returning to his room, he found Miaomiao reading. He unleashed a barrage of scolding, accusing her of being emotionally rich and attracting men since the age of eighteen. Despite Miaomiao's distress, Leng Zhixing didn't allow her to explain and promptly kicked her out.

Xia Miaomiao, representing the outstanding graduates, was tasked with delivering a speech at the alumni association. As she was about to prepare, Du Siyu's friends deceived her into the kitchen. Du Siyu swiftly pushed Miaomiao into the kitchen's freezer, locked the door, and set the temperature to several degrees below zero. Miaomiao urgently pounded on the door, but since it wasn't cooking time, no one heard her. She attempted to make a call, but the phone was damaged due to the cold. Soon, Miaomiao found herself freezing inside, and her limbs were becoming numb.

At night, Xia Miaomiao slept on the living room sofa. In the middle of the night, Leng Zhixing had a nightmare about his car accident. Concerned, Miaomiao rushed to comfort him. However, Leng Zhixing tightly held her hand, and Miaomiao ended up sleeping by his side. In the morning, Leng Zhixing, realizing that Miaomiao had spent the night taking care of him, apologized for his behavior. Miaomiao, while checking his pulse, discovered his severe insomnia and suggested preparing more herbal packs next time.

Leng Zhixing asked Miaomiao to attend a birthday celebration at the Leng family. Grandfather, delighted that Leng Zhixing had finally married Xia Jingxi as he wished, intended to gift her 5% of Leng Corporation's shares. Miaomiao had no choice but to reveal the truth. Learning that Miaomiao had been a substitute bride, Grandfather got angry. Leng Zhixing showed him a photo of Xia Jingxi and Leng Jiaxuan engaging in inappropriate activities, causing Grandfather to faint. Miaomiao administered first aid, and when the doctor arrived, Grandfather's condition stabilized. Grandfather praised Miaomiao for her accurate judgment and foresaw a bright future for her.

Grandfather informed Leng Zhixing that only the two brothers remained in the Leng family. Whoever could handle Mo Sining of Di Hao Group would be entrusted with the position of Leng Corporation's president. Hearing that Mo Sining always wore a mask, making it difficult to deal with, Miaomiao, on the side, handed Leng Zhixing the business card given to her by the masked person that night.

Leng Zhixing quickly arrived, asking Lin Yuhang about Miaomiao's whereabouts, assuming she had left to find him. Leng Zhixing received a data tracking message from Luo Tian, revealing Miaomiao's location in the freezer. He immediately put on the mask, pretending to be Mo Sining. Leng Zhixing reached the freezer, broke in, and found Miaomiao unconscious. He carried her out.

Arriving at the hotel reception, Leng Zhixing was told there were no rooms available, as the staff had been warned by Du Siyu not to allow Miaomiao to stay. Du's chairman scolded Du Siyu and quickly arranged a room for Leng Zhixing. Leng Zhixing left the place in Luo Tian's care and swiftly took Miaomiao to the room. Du's chairman worried about Mo Sining's knowledge, but Du Siyu remained oblivious to the trouble she had caused. The chairman collapsed due to anger, and Leng Zhixing undressed to warm Miaomiao with his body. As Miaomiao regained consciousness, she acknowledged the truth and realized they couldn't be together. However, Leng Zhixing expressed his inability to leave her, and they reconciled, embracing each other passionately.

Xia Miaomiao instructed her subordinates to remove Xia Jingxi's belongings from the general manager's office. Enraged, Jingxi was about to confront Miaomiao when Xia Zhengnan entered and sternly rebuked Jingxi. Angered, Jingxi stormed out. Seeing Miaomiao, Xia Zhengnan immediately changed his tone, praising her for her significant contributions to the Xia Corporation. He mentioned that he had long intended for Miaomiao to join the company but respected her dedication to traditional Chinese medicine research.

Inwardly, Miaomiao thought that if she hadn't discovered Xia Zhengnan's hidden secret, she might have believed him. Xia Zhengnan informed Miaomiao that Xia Corporation would host a charity gala, urging her and Leng Zhixing to attend. He also requested Miaomiao to invite Mo Sining, to which she readily agreed.

Jingxi sought out Leng Jiaxuan, asking for his help in regaining the agency rights for HE, her favorite brand. Leng Jiaxuan informed her that as long as the old man (referring to their grandfather) was alive, true decision-making power could only be obtained by occupying the position of chairman. This, however, required a significant amount of money, and he suggested that Jingxi seek Xia Zhengnan's assistance. That night, Jingxi sneaked into Xia Zhengnan's office, hoping to find a solution.

Meanwhile, Miaomiao discovered clues about the car accident from six years ago. Xia Zhengnan had been transferring money to an account under the name Liu Xiaoshan. Leng Zhixing immediately ordered Luo Tian to investigate. Xia Zhengnan, upon learning about the inquiry into Liu Xiaoshan, ordered his silence. Luo Tian tracked down Liu Xiaoshan, and Leng Zhixing rushed to find him. However, Liu Xiaoshan had gone into hiding to escape Xia Zhengnan's pursuit.

Taking advantage of Grandfather's unconscious state, Leng Jiaxuan used a prepared will to obtain his fingerprint. Leng Zhixing learned about Grandfather's sudden fall down the stairs and hurriedly brought Miaomiao to the hospital. After medical treatment, Grandfather's life was out of danger, but he remained unconscious, and the timing of his recovery was uncertain. Leng Zhixing suspected Leng Jiaxuan's conspiracy and warned him not to engage in wrongful deeds again, threatening that he wouldn't be lenient next time.

Leng Jiaxuan, eager to advance the cooperation project in Gaojia Village, instructed his subordinates to proceed regardless of the circumstances. Miaomiao approached Leng Zhixing, revealing that her mother's grave was in the project area, and she requested him to prevent Leng Jiaxuan from digging up her mother's grave. Leng Zhixing told her not to worry and took her to the site. During the journey, Leng Zhixing inquired about Miaomiao's mother. Miaomiao showed him a photo and explained that her mother suffered from a mental illness, and six years ago, after causing a car accident while fleeing, she died.

Leng Zhixing, upon hearing this, was shocked and visibly shaken. He ordered the driver to stop the car and sternly told Miaomiao to get out. Unbeknownst to Miaomiao, six years ago, Leng Zhixing's parents were the ones killed in the car accident caused by Miaomiao's mother, and he himself was injured, resulting in his leg impairment. Miaomiao had been calling Leng Zhixing, but he decided not to answer. The revelation that her mother was responsible for the death of his parents made any possibility of a relationship between them impossible.
