After Our Secret Marriage: Flirting with Professor Shen, the Brooding Beauty

【Marriage first, love later + chasing his wife to the crematorium + a tag-team romance】 【Unhinged beauty vs. celibate professor】 Lu Ying was eighteen and “going astray”: a workaholic, as cold as a machine, nicknamed the Ice Queen. She was the youngest in the organization, so everyone doted on her. They couldn’t just let her stay so cold forever. Since she was so strikingly beautiful, they tossed her into the entertainment industry. To their surprise, she only became more outrageous and carved out a place for herself there. With no other options, they found her a university to attend and warned her repeatedly. Surely she wouldn’t keep doing this there... Lu Ying really did settle down, but somehow it all felt unreal. What was that mischievous girl up to now? Later, she realized that nothing felt real at all. Had something gone wrong? Professor Shen, Shen Yi, was a celibate heartthrob. With his doctor’s credentials on top of that, even in lively M Country, nothing grew wherever he went. After spending twenty years drifting through life, his family tricked him into returning to China to settle down. Fed up with their nagging, Shen Yi escaped to a university to work as a professor. He never expected that his “life’s big problem” would be “solved perfectly by accident.” From then on, though, he had a little shadow trailing behind him... Content warning: There’s a bit of a parallel-world setting.
