My Husband Has a Secret Name

Episode 1

Stella Swain has one day to save her company. As CEO of Swain Corp, she learns that her grandfather's will leaves ten percent of the shares to her future husband—but only if she actually marries. Without it, her stepmother Luna Ashton will seize control. Ten candidates are lined up, and Stella picks one, only to be told the man was swapped out: lawyer Zhao has betrayed her and colluded with an insider.

She ditches the whole list. Outside City Hall she spots a strikingly handsome stranger and asks his name, whether he's single—then offers him a deal: marry her, join the Swain family, and share in ten percent of the company. He agrees.

Episode 2

Stella learns her new husband is not ordinary. While the car is moving, Eric Green tears off a door and calmly reattaches it—on a custom armored vehicle with no replaceable parts anywhere in the country. She demands to know how any human could manage that.

He takes in her villa and jokes that she must be more than a CEO. She tells him he'll live here, but they won't share a room until after the wedding ceremony; he protests that they're legally married. Stella plans to stay at the old family home, where her father and stepmother live, until the board meeting. A sweep of one floor alone turns up over a hundred listening devices and dozens of hidden cameras.

Episode 3

Stella sets her assistant Qiao Jiao to work: contracts must now carry two names—her husband's and hers. That means rewriting holdings across forty-one mountain ranges, 108 islands, and thirty-two neutral banks. When she mentions she married within the hour, her people are stunned, and even more so that Eric claims he's the one being taken in as the family's live-in son-in-law.

Meanwhile, the investigation confirms Stella's suspicions: lawyer Zhao was secretly working with Chen Jia to swap out her marriage candidates, and Chen Jia has been in quiet contact with her stepmother, Luna Ashton.

Episode 4

The board members who caused trouble have been dealt with, and word spreads that Stella rules with an iron hand. But the will's condition still binds her: the ten percent of shares only unlock once she's married, and Luna's stake nearly matches hers. If Stella doesn't marry, the company falls to her stepmother.

At the old family home, the tension boils over. Luna pushes Stella to hand over the ten percent since, as far as anyone knows, no real marriage took place. Stella fires back that she'll see her at the board meeting—in three days. Luna is confident. Stella isn't.

Episode 5

Eric is waiting when Stella wakes, urging her to come home because something's happened. It turns out to be nothing dramatic—just dinner. He's cooked, and the food is remarkable.

He tells her to stop eating out; it isn't safe. She reminds him she didn't marry him to be her cook, but he insists she should tell him if money runs short. She jokes that she likes giving him money because money is all she has; he answers that money is the one thing he has plenty of. After the meal, a warmth spreads through her. He hands her a thermos of medicinal tea and warns her not to drink the water outside.

Episode 6

A man claiming to be Stella's husband arrives at her office. It's Eric—here to deliver lunch. Stella is baffled: a man with reflexes like his, reduced to bringing her meals?

Then she presses him about the greens on her plate. He corrects her: it isn't just vegetables, it's a medicinal meal, every ingredient a rare herb. When she asks why she needs medicine, he says flatly that she's sick. She scoffs—until her legs suddenly go numb. She can't move them. He tells her it will pass in ten minutes. He was only half joking about a bone condition. Something is genuinely wrong with her.

Episode 7

Eric explains the truth: she's carrying a corrosive, slow-acting virus—nearly impossible to detect—that will paralyze her within a few years. His medicinal meals and tea can cure it, but she must not eat carelessly outside.

Stella seeks a second opinion from the reclusive Li family, a medical dynasty that treats only prominent households. Doctor Li finds her pulse steady yet strange, and confirms she's been poisoned with the same kind of latent toxin that afflicts him. There's no easy cure, only rare medicines to delay it. Stella is shaken: even Doctor Li needed blood tests and a pulse reading, yet Eric diagnosed her with his eyes alone. Who is he?

Episode 8

Back home, Stella confronts Eric directly. He never drew blood, never took her pulse—so how did he know she was poisoned? He says he could simply see it; she radiates the aura of poison.

She asks if he can tell how many years it's been. He says that requires a closer examination. Not a pulse reading—he isn't an old-fashioned doctor. So how? He tells her to take off her clothes. She does, without hesitation, catching him off guard; he admits he's not used to this. He says he can examine her without touching, just by looking. Then he tells her to speak up if she feels anything—her husband is right here.
