Synopsis
Sheng Yu believes his marriage to Lu Quanze is a fairytale of mutual first loves until the appearance of a former flame reveals a devastating deception. Determined to escape, Sheng Yu attempts to utilize a unique marriage insurance system to secure a massive payout and his freedom. However, he discovers that his husband has maliciously bound them together through a contract lasting three hundred years. This story reads like a high-drama 'dog-blood' melodrama, utilizing the 'scum-to-devoted' trope common in intense BL romances. It is intended for readers who enjoy possessive protagonists and heavy emotional angst; those seeking a healthy, low-conflict relationship should skip it. The narrative is fast-paced and brief, with its most standout quality being the absurdly long duration of the insurance bond which creates a surreal obstacle to the protagonist's liberation.

Editorial Review
This is a condensed work that prioritizes immediate emotional impact over slow-burn development. The strongest element is the marriage insurance premise, which provides a clever, stylized mechanism to force the characters together and heighten the irony of the protagonist's predicament. However, the novel's brevity is a double-edged sword. With only 40 chapters, the transition from a deceptive, 'scum' lead to a devoted partner feels rushed, leaving little room for authentic character growth or a believable redemption arc. The plot relies heavily on established tropes rather than innovating within the genre. While the completed status is a benefit for readers wanting a quick conclusion, the narrative lacks the depth required for a truly satisfying emotional payoff. It serves as a quick, trope-heavy read rather than a nuanced exploration of marital betrayal.
