### Plot

Jiang Xiaoyu's grandmother falls seriously ill and is hospitalized. To raise surgery fees quickly, Jiang follows the arrangement of a matchmaker known as Aunt Wang and agrees to a marriage of convenience, but she is connected with the wrong man and flash-marries Qin Muchuan, the heir of the Qin Group.<sup>[4](https://hongguoduanju.com/detail?series_id=7406203721568242750)</sup> By coincidence, Qin had himself been looking for a sham marriage partner; the two register their marriage at the civil affairs office by mistake, agree to divorce after one year, and leave each other a phone number.<sup>[2](https://www.iqiyi.com/a_164lhkg2761.html)</sup>

A year later Jiang Xiaoyu interviews at Qin Muchuan's company, and the two meet again. In the iQIYI synopsis they become entangled through misunderstandings;<sup>[2](https://www.iqiyi.com/a_164lhkg2761.html)</sup> the fuller synopsis on Hongguo and the Duanju Encyclopedia has them meet without recognizing each other, fall in love through a series of trials, and then discover that the other person is the spouse from their registered marriage a year earlier. After the mix-up is resolved, their relationship deepens and they stay together.<sup>[4](https://hongguoduanju.com/detail?series_id=7406203721568242750)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[1](https://duanjubaike.org/zh-Hant/drama/18097)</sup>

## Production and release

The drama was released on 23 August 2024, and a listing compiled on 22 August 2024 already counted it among 34 short dramas updated that week, indicating the release window of late August 2024.<sup>[1](https://duanjubaike.org/zh-Hant/drama/18097)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[7](https://www.dyyjv.com/9850.html)</sup> The complete 79-episode run is hosted on iQIYI, where the album is marked "79 episodes, complete."<sup>[2](https://www.iqiyi.com/a_164lhkg2761.html)</sup> The screenwriter is credited as Mu Mian, with [Zhang Ying](https://www.edgepedia.org/zhang-ying) and Ding Weikang of JuDian Short Drama as executive producers.<sup>[3](https://www.hayudj.cc/meta/eyJw/6.html)</sup>

Episode counts differ across aggregators: iQIYI, the Duanju Encyclopedia, and the Bmp4 listing all show 79 episodes, while the Hayu aggregator lists 100.<sup>[2](https://www.iqiyi.com/a_164lhkg2761.html)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[1](https://duanjubaike.org/zh-Hant/drama/18097)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[8](https://www.bmp4.com/9432.html)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[3](https://www.hayudj.cc/meta/eyJw/6.html)</sup>

## Reception and performance

On Hongguo Short Drama the title carries a heat score of 13.88 million, with genre tags for urban romance, flash marriage, and love at first sight.<sup>[4](https://hongguoduanju.com/detail?series_id=7406203721568242750)</sup> The Duanju Encyclopedia records 13.8 million heat and about 50,000 plays, with a 7.9 rating.<sup>[1](https://duanjubaike.org/zh-Hant/drama/18097)</sup> Douban-based scores reported by aggregators vary: 8.1 on Bmp4, 7.9 on the Duanju Encyclopedia, and 7.8 (from about 2,000 raters) on Hayu.<sup>[8](https://www.bmp4.com/9432.html)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[1](https://duanjubaike.org/zh-Hant/drama/18097)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[3](https://www.hayudj.cc/meta/eyJw/6.html)</sup>

The drama's commercial afterlife was substantial. In DataEye's H1 2025 micro-drama industry report it ranked 2nd by playback increment with a value of 12.59, behind only one other title;<sup>[5](https://pdf.dfcfw.com/pdf/H3_AP202507111706795697_1.pdf%3F1752227449000.pdf)</sup> DataEye's 2025 full-year report placed it 3rd with 14.0, and noted that five of the top 20 titles by playback increment on platform-native charts were 2024 releases, showing a marked long-tail effect for older dramas.<sup>[6](https://pdf.dfcfw.com/pdf/H3_AP202601211818183880_1.pdf%3F1768989101000.pdf)</sup> An Endata (艺恩) quarterly market report for early 2025 listed it 7th among micro-dramas with a value of 4.0, tagged as sweet romance, female-oriented, urban, and emotional content.<sup>[9](https://www.itopmarketing.com/uploads/soft/20250429/1745914371.pdf)</sup>

## Place in the short-drama market

The title belongs to the flash-marriage and CEO-romance strand of Chinese vertical dramas, and its naming follows the industry's formulaic "X 总" (President X) pattern. A 2024 Yangtze Evening Post survey of micro-drama titles found 189 dramas using "总裁" (CEO), 109 using "夫人" (madam), and 80 using "离婚" (divorce) in their titles, the same vocabulary this drama combines.<sup>[10](https://doss.xhby.net/zpaper/yzwb/pad/att/202406/06/7a5b1bb6-965a-4edf-ac25-f592589e138d.pdf)</sup> Its 2025 chart performance illustrates the long-tail economics of the format: a drama released in August 2024 was still among the highest playback-increment titles more than half a year later.<sup>[5](https://pdf.dfcfw.com/pdf/H3_AP202507111706795697_1.pdf%3F1752227449000.pdf)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[6](https://pdf.dfcfw.com/pdf/H3_AP202601211818183880_1.pdf%3F1768989101000.pdf)</sup>
