The title was assigned by the platform. The male lead is not a yandere.
The female lead, Han Minxi, grew up in a broken family, but she has a brother who loves her dearly.
Not long after graduating and returning home, she impulsively marries a man she has never met.
For her brother’s sake, she gives up her freedom as a bird and flies into a splendid, lavish cage.
The man’s grandfather promises to help her brother with money and connections, so she signs a contract and agrees to play the part of a devoted, virtuous wife.
The male lead is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and at first he strongly resists the marriage.
He doesn’t like her and treats her like his personal punching bag, picking on her whenever he wants. But no one else is allowed to bully her, and over time, he is drawn in by her personality.
Eventually, Qi Size realizes that his wife shines like the sun, brightening his dull world.
He falls in love with her without even realizing it. Unfortunately, Han Minxi doesn’t even know what it means to fall in love. She hates being bullied by him, but because of their contract, she has to pretend she’s head over heels for him.
The man doesn’t know how to love someone, and keeps driving her farther away. He hates sharing her with anyone and gets insanely jealous, but he’s too proud to say so.
When he meets a love rival, he pretends to be magnanimous, but in reality he gets so upset that he spirals into a gloomy mood, waiting for the heroine to come comfort him.
He dreams that one day they’ll have a child, a mischievous daughter just like he was as a child, who will angrily tell him, “Daddy won’t wear a little dress with me. I want a new daddy.”
After that, he wants no children at all. He doesn’t like boys or girls, but unfortunately...
