Second Time's the Charm

On the day the divorce went through, Xu brought a chainsaw and cut the property she had shared with her husband into halves. He had been unfaithful. She needed a Beijing residence registration after that, which meant finding someone to marry, so she went looking for a contract husband.

The arrangement gave each of them what they had come for. In the course of dealing with a run of people trying to cheat them, the two of them started to want more than the arrangement. He Qiang's cover came apart piece by piece, and with it came the fact that they had spent a night together five years earlier and had each drawn the wrong conclusion about it.
