[Marriage first, love later + older woman/younger man romance + sweet romance + the heroine is an independent admirer of good looks, not a weak, helpless flower. If that’s not your thing, please move along.]
With her mother pressuring her to marry, Tao Zhenzhen grabs the first person she sees and rushes into a marriage. As it turns out, she accidentally picks someone her mother approves of.
Her new husband is so handsome that she decides to try her luck at winning him over. Instead, he flirts with her until she’s completely smitten and unable to resist.
Just as she gets carried away by love and wants to throw herself into the relationship without thinking, her husband’s first love appears, ready to fight her for him.
Tao Zhenzhen loses one battle after another. With the puppy-like guy about to become someone else’s, she is heartbroken, and a gentle, handsome man offers her comfort.
But her flash-marriage husband dumps his first love and pursues Tao Zhenzhen relentlessly, acting as though he’ll bite anyone who tries to take her from him. He’s determined to turn his temporary position into a permanent one.
The relationship between the male and female protagonists is quite sweet, come on. I like heroines who play straight. Today I finally ate Tang Monk meat. The author seems to be a newbie, but I feel like I hope to become an old fan who has witnessed his growth.
The male protagonist's behavior is understandable, but cannot be forgiven. To forgive is to risk one's life. It's a bit difficult to reconcile. It's quite interesting.
