[Clear-eyed princess vs. cold, seductive, self-restrained man in power]
Marriage first, love later | Both devoted only to each other | Newlywed life
They meet for the first time and head straight to the marriage registry to get their license.
Wei Linci, the formidable Third Master Wei, rules the business world of Hong Kong. He is refined and aloof, with ruthless methods.
Without changing expression, he drops a bombshell: “I’m gay.”
Shen Qitang is delighted. What a deal! A high-quality Hong Kong husband who won’t expect her to share his bed, and she gets him for free?
Later, nestled in his arms, she tugs at his tie and asks in a small voice, “Can you… perform?”
The man says nothing.
That night, she gets her answer, at the cost of being unable to get out of bed for three days.
The second time they meet, she is drunk and shouts in public, “My husband is gay!”
At the time, Wei Linci has just come out with a friend.
His friend laughs so hard he doubles over. “A Lin, which clueless guy claims he’s gay and then marries such a beautiful young woman? He’s practically asking to be struck by lightning.”
Wei Linci looks up, a cold glint in his eyes. His thin lips part. “That would be me.”
His friend’s smile freezes on his face.
[Bonus Scene]
One day, Shen Qitang finds their marriage certificate and suddenly wonders, “By the way, why did you say you were gay back then?”
Wei Linci is peeling shrimp for her. His fingers pause at her question.
“I was afraid you’d be afraid of me.”
“Afraid of what?”
The man looks up at her, his gaze darkening.
“…Afraid you’d find out I wanted to marry you from the moment I first saw you.”
