[Marriage first, love later + a gentle, slow-burn sweet romance + fake and real heiresses + six-year age gap]
[Resilient, independent jewelry designer VS notorious playboy]
The first time Shi Yun saw her fiancé, she knew he was no good for her. He looked like a sleazy hoodlum from head to toe, with none of the bearing of a distinguished young heir.
Their parents used their money and influence to get the two of them officially married, then sent him, luggage and all, to their marital home the night she returned to China.
Her new husband, Chu Yuan, was infamous in Hong Kong City. Everyone in their circle said that if the shrewd and capable Madam Sheng Huai'an knew what her son was really like, she would crawl out of her grave to beat him up.
Shi Yun couldn't understand why her older sister didn't have to marry for the family's benefit, while she, at just twenty-two, had been signed away like a piece of merchandise without her consent or even her knowledge.
Later, when Shi Yun discovered her true origins, Chu Yuan decided he wasn't good enough for her. He shifted his focus to his career and quietly became her devoted househusband.
Later still, people in their circle said Chu Yuan had mellowed out after getting married, and praised Shi Yun for knowing how to keep her husband in line. She only smiled and said nothing.
[The married life of an opposites-attract couple who are always at odds]
In their first year of marriage, they only saw each other on weekends.
Chu Yuan: “Should we really be sleeping in separate rooms?”
Shi Yun: “Is someone going to stick their head in here and check whether we're in the same bed?”
In their third year of marriage, they welcomed a new addition to the family.
Chu Yuan: “I think you were the one who fell for me first.”
Shi Yun: “You always have an answer for everything.”
The female protagonist's sense of unworthiness has always caused her to feel inferior in front of the male protagonist. The male protagonist also feels inferior because of the impression he left on her before. They feel that they are not worthy of each other. Without the help of friends, the male protagonist will always be makabaka, and the female protagonist will also be. I kept dodging, but fortunately, I made a strong attack. The three cousins who were serving wine at the wedding had to sit at the main table, and sit at the same table with Ji Mingzhou who was beaten. The heroine should be the sister of the DB president. Give my baby heroine a super awesome identity to slap the bad parents in the face!!!!!
The characters are very three-dimensional and real, and they don't look like Mary Sues. The effect will be better if taken together with the companion volume.
