I Tried to Keep My Heart Pure, but Ended Up Being Seduced

[Married first, love later; love at first sight; 1v1; both leads are each other’s first and only]

Li Chu and Lu Zhiye have met exactly four times.

The first time, she was visiting a small town and mistook him for a local when asking for directions.

The second time, she went out at night to look at the moon and noticed a blurry figure across the way watching her with interest.

The third time, they ended up in adjacent seats on the high-speed train home.

But Li Chu didn’t remember Lu Zhiye after any of the first three encounters.

It wasn’t until the fourth time, when Lu Zhiye became her blind date…

And, after their parents egged them on, they registered their marriage and moved in together…

Li Chu considers herself detached from desire, with a heart of stone that no one can move.

But then Lu Zhiye appears, and her stone heart starts beating again.

Her heart is in complete turmoil.

Li Chu still remembers that day:

The man’s almost overwhelming scent of masculinity enveloped her completely. He kissed the corner of her eye, his voice husky and unlike its usual clear tone. He spoke each word with extraordinary seriousness:

“From now on, remember me.”

A note for readers: A slow-burn story focused on everyday romance. A short novel.
