[Both leads are each other's one and only + Marriage first, love later + A touch of possessive romance + Jealous male lead + Devoted husband + Sweet romance]
Also known as: [Romance is a disaster when only one person is lovestruck, but perfect when both are]
After getting drunk, Wen Shuyao gets involved with a pretty boy.
The first thing he says when he wakes up is that he wants to register their marriage.
Wen Shuyao figures he's either lost his mind or running a marriage scam to fleece her.
She tosses him a check and makes a stylish getaway.
At a party the next evening, her father warns her again and again not to mess with Third Young Master Gu. He made his fortune through shady means, is ruthless, and doesn't waste words. Anyone who crosses him is dead.
Wen Shuyao figures that with a character like Gu Mingshen, he'd be the ultimate villain in any novel. Only an idiot would provoke him.
And then...
Wen Shuyao sees the face of the man who pressured her to register their marriage.
Her mouth twitches. “Dad, you're too late.”
When they meet again, he stands tall and elegant, gently swirling his wineglass as he watches her like a predator stalking its prey.
He says, “Be a good girl, Yaoyao. Wait at home for me to come ask for your hand.”
Wen Shuyao no longer thinks of herself as the pig in a romance scam. She feels more like a little lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
...Bonus scene...
Gu: “Yaoyao, could you whisper in my ear that you want...”
Wen Shuyao: “Gu Mingshen, behave yourself!”
Gu Mingshen grins, showing his pearly white teeth, looking utterly innocent.
“I just want you to tell me you want me to cuddle you.”
