Once We Get Married (Season 1)

"Once We Get Married" (2021) is a Chinese romance drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Wang Yuwen plays Gu Xixi, a luxury bridal fashion buyer whose job is selecting wedding dresses for other people's big days — she's very good at it, just not at her own personal life.

At a private brand reception, Gu Xixi ends up tangled with Yin Sichen (Wang Ziqi), a company president with all the warmth of a contract clause. The situation involving fashion designer Alex makes a temporary fake marriage the most convenient solution for both of them. Directed by Li Yao Bo and Chu De Zian, the series adapts Xiang Wang's novel "Flash Marriage CEO's Contract Wife." No love at first sight — just a signed agreement that develops inconvenient cracks.

The contract-marriage formula is well-worn in Chinese drama, and the series doesn't pretend otherwise. What gives it a useful edge is the setting: two people who sell the idea of romantic love for a living, now trying to keep their own arrangement strictly professional.
