When her cousin ran away from her wedding, Lin Yuran followed her family’s wishes and married the groom-to-be.
He was Sui Yue, the head of Lucheng’s most powerful wealthy family.
They had known each other since childhood. Sui Yue was a lofty, untouchable heartthrob, while Lin Yuran was the braces-wearing ugly duckling he often picked on.
The ugly duckling became a swan, and Lin Yuran thought Sui Yue would fall in love with her. Only in the end did she realize it was all a cruel joke of her own making. The one he had truly loved all along was someone else.
When their agreement expired, she left her wedding ring behind, fled while pregnant, and signed the divorce papers without making a fuss.
Everyone believed Sui Yue didn’t love Lin Yuran, that he was still hung up on his first love, and that their divorce was inevitable.
Sui Yue married Lin Yuran after weighing the benefits to his family and at his grandfather’s urging. Neither of them had feelings for the other before the wedding.
To him, marriage was just another life task. A relationship of mutual respect and courtesy was his ideal.
He kept love and intimacy at arm’s length.
After they married, his wife was sometimes as passionate as a wildcat, leaving him wanting more, and sometimes she kept him at a perfect distance. Yet he began to resent it.
He resented her pushing him away. He wanted more. He wanted her love. He wanted her all to himself.

It's a great read, the author's writing is excellent, so why isn't the rating high? Highly recommended!
Great, I really like the male lead's uprightness and kindness.
I'd like to ask if the male lead was testing the female lead's feelings for him by getting close to those girls?
Is this a story about two virgins?
The male lead is getting better and better
The female lead is suffering so much.
The writing is fluent and often contains memorable quotes.
