My Best Friend Says Her Brother Is Scary, but He Calls Me Baby at Night

To escape an arranged marriage and protect her dream of becoming a baker, Su Wan went to stay with her best friend, Fu Yuejian, in Haicheng. Thanks to her friend’s “enthusiastic” arrangements, she agreed to meet a blind date who was supposedly refined and gentle. But still hungover, Su Wan mistook her friend’s legendary older brother, Fu Sinian, for her date in a restaurant hallway. He was a top surgeon known for being cold, strict, and treating surgery as his whole life. The consequences: First, they got married on impulse. Second, she knew nothing about her husband except his name and profession, and they even signed a “cohabitation agreement.” Third, her best friend spent every day demonizing him: “My brother? He’s either holding a scalpel or reading medical papers. Dates? Not a chance!” After the wedding, Su Wan nervously tried to get along with her “contract husband,” only to discover that this iceberg wasn’t quite what he seemed. When her ex harassed her, a few calm, professional words from Fu Sinian sent him running in fear. When her baking studio ran into trouble, Fu Sinian quietly called in favors to clear every obstacle in her way. When she suffered from stomach pain, he could list every food she needed to avoid and every recipe that would soothe her stomach… Little by little, Su Wan realized that this man wasn’t the iceberg her friend had made him out to be. His tenderness was hidden beneath the scent of disinfectant and tucked into every thoughtful detail. When she accidentally found the sketchbook Fu Sinian had treasured for years, filled with drawings of her from college to the present, this marriage born from a misunderstanding finally revealed a glimpse of its fated beginning. This is a healing love story of sugar and disinfectant, palette knives and scalpels. When seven years of secret love become reality, even the coldest iceberg will melt into a sea of tenderness for you.
