Volume One, Chapter One: The Queen of Heaven Dives into Work Frenziedly, While I Choose to Lie Low at Home

Shen Qi lay on the bench, basking in the early spring sunlight, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of contentment.

“Hah... ha...”

“This is the life I’ve always dreamed of!”

As a corporate drone who had suffered greatly in his past life, Shen Qi believed that transmigration was the quickest and most effective way to rewrite one’s fate in this world.

After winning numerous awards, the diva Li Huange acquired her former company and became the female CEO, secretly marrying Shen Qi.

As Li Huange’s secret husband, Shen Qi’s happiness was far more than just lying back and living off her.

In Li Huange’s words—

“We got married for peace and quiet, mainly to shut my family up about pressuring me to settle down!”

“If one day your identity is revealed to the public, just maintain the persona I’ve crafted for you.”

“A monthly allowance of two hundred thousand yuan, and you can even see other women—but don’t let me know, and definitely don’t let the reporters find out.”

“The rest... I’ll tell you when I think of it.”

Having worked behind the scenes in the entertainment industry in his past life, Shen Qi was very familiar with the backstage experience.

He never imagined that working behind the scenes could bring such joy every day.

“Even if my mind holds countless great works from parallel worlds, I really don’t need to leave anything behind in this one.”

“I’m not that great, though good works shouldn’t be buried...”

“What does that have to do with me?”

Suddenly, his phone rang.

“Shen Qi! I’m bringing some friends over tonight. Buy some groceries; we’ll have a drink and chat at home!”

Shen Qi grinned broadly and immediately agreed.

His wife’s voice was so pleasant, she was beautiful and had an unbeatable figure.

The only thing that annoyed Shen Qi was that he was either starving or barely making it through the day.

They had been married for three years with a clear agreement: neither was to cross any boundaries without the other’s explicit consent.

Although they treated each other with respect and their marriage was purely contractual, living together day and night for three years had naturally fostered a friendship.

She worked outside, he managed the home.

They would watch TV together and have a drink when free.

This kind of relationship truly intoxicated Shen Qi.

Each fulfilled their needs without causing trouble for the other; this quiet harmony was their best mutual understanding.

Shen Qi hopped on the 125cc scooter he’d bought with his first allowance after marriage and headed straight for the market.

Preparing a good meal so Li Huange could save face in front of her friends was Shen Qi’s duty and obligation!

When Li Huange was in a good mood, she would even increase his allowance.

This world was bustling and prosperous, but cultural development lagged slightly.

Culinary culture was also part of that.

Shen Qi still remembered when they first got married and moved here, the very first dish he made was spicy shredded potatoes that Li Huange devoured by the bowlful.

So in the three years since their marriage, Li Huange always arranged her most confidential gatherings with her closest friends at home.

Her besties often looked forward to these occasions.

Before long, the meal was ready and the guests arrived.

Shen Qi smiled politely before retreating upstairs to watch videos of busty beauties, leaving space for the others to discuss business.

After dinner, he would tidy up, shower, and go to bed.

Another uneventful but satisfying day.

Today’s gathering ended quickly. While tidying up, Shen Qi glanced over and felt a warm flush in his heart.

Li Huange was lounging on the sofa like a relaxed goddess, her long, snow-white thighs fully exposed, the curves between them as mesmerizing as mountain ridges.

Shen Qi’s mood lifted even more; a daily feast for the eyes meant better dreams at night...

“Shen Qi...” Li Huange gently set down her tablet and called softly.

Shen Qi smiled and trotted over.

“My lord, your command.”

In the past, Li Huange would usually tease him when seeing him like this, but today she didn’t.

Her brow was slightly furrowed, making Shen Qi sense something was amiss.

“Two things...”

“Go on, go on,” Shen Qi said, deliberately ignoring her worry.

“Uh... the first thing is, I’ve adopted a child...”

Shen Qi was momentarily stunned, then laughed:

“That’s your prerogative! You’re the benefactor; adopting a child is nothing.”

“This child might need your care...” Li Huange said hesitantly.

Shen Qi nodded and chuckled.

“That means more money!”

What puzzled Shen Qi was that this time, the usually commanding female CEO looked troubled instead of confident.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Qi felt an inexplicable unease.

No way, no way.

Could the CEO be trying to freeload?

Shen Qi shook his head slightly.

No, Li Huange wasn’t petty about money.

Could it be...

Shen Qi grew even more nervous.

Was the good life about to end?

Li Huange looked a little embarrassed.

“Uh... the company’s been having some difficulties lately. The little stars we promoted didn’t take off, and the rookie plans aren’t going well either...”

Shen Qi quickly said, “You never tell me about work, just give me the bottom line!”

Li Huange sighed, “This month’s salary... might have to be reduced, and possibly delayed.”

“What?”

Shen Qi was truly stunned.

“There’s no other way...” Li Huange said reluctantly, “How about... we talk about taking care of the child?”

Rarely taking the initiative, Li Huange reached out and held Shen Qi’s hand, inviting him to sit beside her.

“Coincidentally, the child shares your surname; his name is Shen Xiaokun, and he’s five years old...”

“He lost his memory in a car accident; his parents died. It took a lot of effort to get him to accept that I’m his mother and you’re his father...”

Shen Qi was dumbfounded, “But the truth is...”

“The truth doesn’t matter!” Li Huange said sternly, “The child’s well-being is what matters most!”

Shen Qi gaped, “You... you’re making me sound very unprincipled...”

Li Huange patted his shoulder.

“Don’t worry. Aside from forgetting his parents, Shen Xiaokun is perfectly normal!”

“So what you need to do is work with me to give Shen Xiaokun a new, happy, sweet, and harmonious life that we create for him!”

Shen Qi stared into Li Huange’s eyes.

They were resolute, serious, and solemn, yet filled with the radiance of charity and motherly love.

At that moment, Shen Qi felt Li Huange was a white dove from heaven, while he was a mere creature crawling in the dirt.

“I... alright...”

Shen Qi stumbled upstairs, and Li Huange slyly smiled.

She reached for her phone and pressed the talk button.

“The plan is going smoothly!”

At this moment, Fu Qing was lying on her bed, wearing revealing clothes that showcased her alluring figure.

Upon receiving Li Huange’s message, Fu Qing sat up sharply and immediately made a call.

“Hello?” Li Huange’s voice was somewhat soft, as if avoiding Shen Qi.

“Huange, is it really okay for you to deceive Shen Qi like this?”

Li Huange replied firmly,

“Only Lin Duo and I have seen the score for ‘Chasing the Moon.’ After revisions, it has reached a whole new level!”

“But there’s no one else in the house besides Shen Qi and me!”
