When Nicky Wu and Cecilia Liu Shi Shi tied the knot in a civil ceremony earlier this year, the media was abuzz about the union (a dream come true for Chinese television series Scarlet Heart shippers), but little is known about the proposal.

Now we know why: there wasn’t one to begin with!

To make up for it (after netizens criticized Wu for not giving his wife an engagement ring), he surprised his wife in Shanghai on June 1, where she was filming for an ad, and proposed with a stunning sparkler. The couple and crew celebrated the “occasion” with cake, which Wu bought.

Awww isn’t love sweet? Here’s to many happy years ahead, you two!
