What?! My Arranged Marriage Match Has a Huge Villa

A sweet 1990s romance with a happy ending

[Married first, fall in love later + secret crush comes true + husband chases his wife]

[Self-absorbed dance troupe lead × scheming neurosurgeon]

At first, Li Suining thought Zong Xu was a man after her household registration, and that he had married her just to get residency in her city.

Out of gratitude for saving his life, she tearfully agreed.

Only after they married did she discover that Zong Xu’s family owned a factory, a villa, two buildings in town, a car...

Li Suining: Could he be after my looks?

One day, she heard a devastating truth with her own ears: their marriage had come about because someone had threatened, “If you don’t get married, Grandma won’t have the surgery.”

The little princess burst into tears. “He lied to me. He doesn’t love me at all.”

Zong Xu had few family ties and lost his parents when he was six.

At fourteen, he saved a little girl, and her grandparents pestered him into agreeing to an arranged marriage between the children.

People said Zong Xu had a hard fate: he had caused his parents’ deaths as a child, and would bring about his wife’s death when he grew up.

So... he didn’t like Li Suining. Even when they went to the same school, he pretended not to know her and scared her away from getting close.

Later, they got married.

She was sweet and innocent, and acted coy with him. She thought he didn’t love her and cried. Then she started attracting admirers...

The usually calm and self-possessed man’s eyes reddened. “Li Suining, are you leaving me?”

The girl complained, “You don’t love me at all.”

How could he not love her?

He tried with all his might to keep his distance, yet one dance from her was enough to make him fall all over again.

She didn’t know that when he went onstage to give her flowers, his palm was soaked with an entire sea of sweat.

Later, Li Suining told everyone she met, “My husband had a crush on me for years.”
