Marriage of convenience is a crime. Real marriage is done for inconvenience.

She found a way to stay for another 3 months and 6 weeks in singapore, respect ✊

1. The claim that she will visit the fake husband's place during the weekdays when her son does not like him already gave it all away, as the flaw is obvious. The fake husband could have said he would visit her place on the weekends.

2. The policemen in plain clothes taking photos of Zhang look like stalkers sia

i love the "zhang fengyu" voice overs!

[leejy]

I love how they keep repeating "Mother of a child studying in Singapore on a student's pass scheme" at 5:10 😂

In the US, it's rampant. Los Angeles especially. I was approached in a supermarket by someone, being friendly and nice at first then after 5mins, starts saying if I know anyone who wants green card. 30k for marriage. she's a lesbian so she said she can do any genders.

Trending topic : good . Sham outsourcing marriage are run by international triad. That’s what I heard long ago from a uk staying friend. It’s very sad if a woman falls in love with a single man not knowing he was already sham marriage participant.

[weixianng]

Acting in this episode was actually quite good

[NKen]

".... blah blah blah... you are arrested for arranging a marriage of convenience... pls stand up and face the wall..."

This got me laughing LOL 😂 hilarious

[tsunderenekokun]

maybe they wouldn’t have gotten caught up if they simply told the guy that jason is trying to move into her apartment

[qi.-.]

when the police ask, they dont even live near each other and how they met each other, im like… y u so kaypoh. its jus like that sometimes lol

[Thethewho]

"Something is wrong, they're not making babies. Bring them in"

Mother of a Child Studying in Singapore on a Student Pass Scheme

[contrarian]

Which is why foreigners are queuing up to marry Singaporeans. Power of the pink IC.

[JohnLee-dpey]

What's ironic is that for most Singaporean men, this is the only way they will get married

[ansonchew_sg]

Wow.. long time never see Le Yao acting in drama. Still remember her previous roles in my childhood

[PaintingwithFlare]

The fake husband looks really creepy... Excellent casting! 😂

[leblackrosethorn]

all the police officers look like stalkers just snapping pics of her e.e

[nastyayoyo]

The investigation officers can stalk their subjects ah? I thought it's illegal to take pictures without consent...

[saddrossa]

Is it just me or does this seem super sketchy… the lady living a high life without being employed and being divorce. Someone with a high social standing would not have to resort to such means. Singapore welcome anyone with money, they probably even offer her a long term visa. she’s probably working in a shady dept, kenna complaint then they investigate. Come on la… u think the government care to stay together or living under a bridge as long no complaints they don’t bother.
