[Marriage Before Love + Long-Planned Romance + The Male Lead Has Secretly Loved Her for Years + Both Leads Are Pure + No Angst]
To avoid an arranged marriage, Wen Qingyi went abroad for graduate school. But three years later, when she returned, she was still forced to register her marriage to the man she had been engaged to since childhood, even though they had met fewer than three times.
Zhou Shangqi personally handled every detail of the wedding. The vast venue, the gorgeous stage, the grand ceremony, the romantic and sincere atmosphere… Everything was going smoothly until Wen Qingyi injured her leg and the wedding had to be put on hold.
Wen Qingyi had no expectations for this marriage, but during the time she lived with Zhou Shangqi, she gradually came to admire him. He respected and understood her, cared for her and stood up for her, and even indulged her little moods. Some of her thoughts seemed to be veering bit by bit from their predetermined course.

At the first Spring Festival after their wedding, both families gathered to celebrate. That night, the newlyweds were forced to share a bed.
Wen Qingyi had long since let down her guard around Zhou Shangqi. Jokingly, she talked about how she had gone abroad after graduating from university, only to be dragged back and married to him in the end. She said she had deliberately hurt herself to ruin the wedding he had carefully planned, and that if it weren’t for her parents, she never would have come back. She said it was a shame that such a good man had ended up saddled with her.
She said fate was truly strange and absurd.
Zhou Shangqi suddenly said, “Then why not try accepting this fate? Maybe it won’t be as painful as you imagine.”
Wen Qingyi froze, gazing at him with her deep eyes. “What do you mean?”
“You don’t understand?”
She shook her head, her voice low and soft. “I’m not sure.”
Zhou Shangqi smiled and kissed her forehead. “How about now?”
Wen Qingyi: “…”
Her mind was in a whirl, but…
She had a feeling she was done for.
It's very, very good to watch, with a sour plot, but no bloody plot or female rivalry. It's a little story about two people stretching out their claws to test each other and then sneaking closer. Neither person is perfect, and they have minor flaws in love. It is love that brings the two people closer and closer. 😘
The conflict they had when they went to a foreign competition really made me cry. Maybe it's because I am also a more emotional person. The writing was quite good. I hope the author can write better works in the future. Come on! ❤️❤️❤️
Love this book so much!! I just like this sour and happy feeling! Well worth seeing
It's pretty good so far. If you have the desire to read more, please give it a thumbs up to the author👏
2025.10.15 Wen Qingyi & Zhou Shangqi have a long time
These five stars are really for the male protagonist!!! The heroine made me really angry several times! I feel sorry for the male protagonist! Fortunately, the next few chapters are super sweet
The plot is quite compact, the male protagonist is very good, and does many things well. The female protagonist is a little awkward in the middle part, but because of her growth process, I can understand it. Overall, the writing is okay.
I think the characters of the male and female protagonists are very real, and their personalities are also very real. They are very close to life and have a real sense of life. I like it very much. It's pretty good-looking [Blow kiss]
I feel so sweet, so sweet,
Marriage first, love later is awesome. Come and watch it.
