A Long-Standing Scheme: Mr. Shen Coaxes and Seduces His Wife

[Marriage first, love later + a long-planned pursuit]

[One-on-one, both pure]

An extremely possessive, jealous male lead vs. a little lamb he lures in

Qi Fu was sent to the countryside as a child, where she depended on her grandmother.

So when she was brought to the capital, she was distant, indifferent, and taciturn.

Her marriage arrangement had been made by the elders before she was even born.

He was a man at the very top of the pyramid, and agreed to the match based on a photograph of her at eighteen.

After they married, she remained distant.

But he guided her forward one step at a time, coaxing her gently.

“Mrs. Shen, I’ll let you kiss me once.”

“Anni, feel here. Can you find yourself?”

He took her hand and placed it over his chest.

Qi Fu heard a thump, thump, thump. It wasn’t his heartbeat, but her own.

He had quietly woven a gentle net, advancing step by step, all to lure her in.

When Qi Fu finally came to her senses, she discovered she had already fallen into his trap.

In the repeatedly caressed photograph, the eighteen-year-old girl smiled shyly and bashfully.

So he had been plotting this for a long time.

The heart that had been empty for more than twenty years finally began beating again, growing ever more fervent.
