My Archenemy Has Secretly Loved Me for Years, and Our Whirlwind Marriage Exposes It All

[Unrequited love becomes mutual + long-planned romance + scheming male lead, 22 + clear-headed female lead, 22 + she marries first, love comes later + one-on-one, both leads inexperienced + sweet romance] [Second male lead gets his comeuppance]

Everyone in the wealthy elite knew that Xu Nian had spent seven years fawning over Fu Siming, a hopeless romantic who did nothing but chase after him.

Even Fu Siming thought so. For seven years, he treated Xu Nian like a dog, indulging her obsessive pursuit while rejecting her, letting her come whenever he called and sending her away whenever he pleased.

When the time was right, he planned to ruin her reputation and make sure she could never recover.

One wild night

Xu Nian woke up and tried to run, only to get caught red-handed. She didn't dare open her eyes, afraid the man beside her might be ugly.

The man was speechless. "What? Am I so ugly that you're scared to look?"

Xu Nian exploded. "Why is it you?"

He told her to take responsibility

Xu Nian: "Getting married after our first time? Isn't that a little rash?"

Si Xuanqi: "Xu Nian, I'm a traditional man. I believe in staying together for life. Since you took my innocence, you have to take responsibility for me."

After a misunderstanding, Xu Nian wanted a divorce. Si Xuanqi began considering whether to chain one of her feet or both. "There are no divorces here, only widows."

Later, Xu Nian began to realize something was off. "Do you like me?"

Si Xuanqi's gaze was so tender it could drown her. "Baby, is liking you really so hard?"

Xu Nian was sure she had fallen in love with him. Then Si Xuanqi pretended to have amnesia. "How could I possibly fall for someone like you…"

Xu Nian: "Go on. I'm listening."

He just couldn't bring himself to lie. After a long pause, he said, "Someone who's good for everything except being pretty."
