House Husband? Try Supreme Immortal

Episode 1

A dying man insists on one last meeting, and the room empties so Yun Xiaotian can kneel before his master. Fifty years have passed since they last stood face to face, yet Logan Bale hasn't aged a day. Yun Xiaotian asks what identity Logan now lives under; the answer is a substitute teacher at a university. Then comes the real request: after Yun Xiaotian dies, protect his family for three years. Logan agrees—"three years, not a day more, not a day less." When Shu Xin is called in, her grandfather introduces Logan as her future husband, and her world tilts.

Episode 2

Shu Xin protests immediately. She doesn't know this man, and she already has someone she likes. Her family is just as stunned that a grandfather would arrange a marriage on the spot. Yun Xiaotian doesn't argue—he states that his will freezes the Lin family's assets if they refuse, and that he will not die in peace unless she agrees. Pressured from every side, Shu Xin gives in. Meanwhile, trouble brews at the Lin family's new property sales office, where a group arrives determined to make sure the launch never happens.

Episode 3

At a bar, Shu Xin's friends bet that Logan will come running if she calls—no matter the distance. She insists he's nothing but a dog at her side, and that after three years of him refusing to divorce her, that's all he deserves. They mock him as a substitute teacher who married above his station. Then word arrives that Gu Chuan, her college classmate and admirer, is flying home in three days. The clock on the bet ticks down, and with a minute left, Logan still hasn't appeared.

Episode 4

Logan arrives just in time, and Shu Xin wins the bet—only for him to realize he was summoned purely for her friends' amusement. She tells him coldly that if he's unhappy, he can leave the Lin family, and she'll even pay him off. Logan reminds her he stayed three years only because of the promise he made to her grandfather. He counts down: three days left, and then the Lin family and he will have no ties. Her friends urge him to walk away and stop holding back Shu Xin's future.

Episode 5

The night winds down, and someone offers Logan a ride home, but he declines. Gu Chuan tells Logan that Shu Xin isn't cruel by nature and that he should be patient with her temper. Elsewhere, two men who tried to sabotage the Lin family's project are shaken. They note that even three years after Yun Xiaotian's death, the Lin family keeps thriving with no clear successor—proof that someone powerful stands behind them. They decide they can no longer operate in Tianhai.

Episode 6

At home, Logan is scolded for coming back late to cook. He points out he has his own work and suggests a housekeeper take over the meals, but the family dismisses him as a freeloader kept around only because of the old man's word. Talk turns to tomorrow's contract with Gu Dong, a deal the Lin family badly needs. Shu Xin admits their competitiveness is low. Her family pushes her to lean on Gu Chuan, whose uncle is the Gu family head. Logan quietly tells her the meeting will succeed—she tells him to sleep on the study sofa.

Episode 7

Gu Chuan is waiting downstairs, having returned earlier than he claimed—he lied about the three days so he could see Shu Xin first. He confesses his feelings and asks her to divorce Logan, calling him nothing more than a dog she keeps. Shu Xin says she doesn't know how to respond. She then asks a favor: put in a good word with his uncle about the Chengbei project. Gu Chuan agrees eagerly, saying it's the first time she's ever asked him for help. He promises to wait for good news.

Episode 8

Logan brings Shu Xin a calming soup, worried she can't sleep. She tells him plainly that no amount of care will open her heart—their positions are too far apart, and even ten years wouldn't change that. Later, Gu Chuan calls his uncle about the Chengbei project, but Gu Dong shuts him down: someone who did the Gu family an enormous favor has already claimed it, and no one may interfere. At the Gu offices, Shu Xin presents the Lin family's case—and Gu Dong hands her the contract outright.

Episode 9

Shu Xin is stunned and offers to explain the Lin family's situation in more detail, but Gu Dong says he trusts them because "that person" spoke up—someone very close to her. She credits Gu Chuan for the help and calls him the Lin family's great benefactor. Gu Chuan is confused, since his uncle claimed the project was already reserved. Gu Dong, meanwhile, reports the task complete and says he'll pay a visit to the Lin household. Shu Xin takes Gu Chuan out to dinner as thanks.

Episode 10

Over drinks, Gu Chuan reminisces about college, when everyone called them a perfect match, and blames the three years abroad for changing everything. Shu Xin says three years can change a lot. Logan, waiting in the car for hours, learns she left long ago. Gu Chuan confronts him, warning him to step aside with dignity. Shu Xin admits she's had too much to drink and tells Logan she'll head home herself, apologizing for Gu Chuan's outburst. The evening ends with her resting on the sofa.

Watch how the countdown tightens—three days left, and the Lin family still has no idea who's really been protecting them.
