[Marriage before love + gloomy, unhinged male lead + one-on-one, both each other's only partners + mostly cozy daily life]
To avoid being set up on a blind date, Shen Yang agreed to a marriage of convenience with Xie Huaizhi.
Her husband was easygoing and a great cook, so Shen Yang was very pleased with him.
But before long, she began to feel that something was off.
Late one night, the man knocked on her door wearing a bathrobe.
"Could I borrow your bathroom? A pipe burst in my room."
He looked perfectly serious. His robe hung slightly open, exposing his pale chest, and droplets of water slid down his collarbone...
Shen Yang: What... what kind of handsome god is this?
She suspected Xie Huaizhi was deliberately seducing her, but...
Her gaze fell on his flawless, handsome face, and she suddenly thought that maybe turning their fake marriage into a real one wouldn't be so bad.
.
One day after they married, Shen Yang accidentally opened a locked room in their home.
As she stared at the walls covered with countless candid photos of herself, she realized that her husband might be a pervert.
She planned to pretend she'd seen nothing and leave, but then she spotted a figure standing at the door.
Xie Huaizhi watched her with a dark expression. He walked toward her as he loosened his tie.
"Since you've found out, I'll stop pretending."
He blindfolded her with his tie and held her tightly by the waist, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.
His warm breath brushed her ear, and his trembling voice was thick with repressed fear:
"Yangyang, don't be afraid of me..."
