Both have only ever loved each other / Marriage first, love later / A slow, steady romance / Love grows with time

During the summer after graduating from university, Nan Xi was forced to take her stepsister's place and marry Zhou Xu, the Zhou family's heir, rumored to do nothing but eat, drink, and enjoy himself.

Word was that Zhou Xu was against the marriage, too. On the very day Shen Nanxi entered the family home, he went abroad, giving her a clear “warning.”

To make it up to Shen Nanxi, the Zhou family promised that if Zhou Xu still didn't accept the marriage three years later, they would let the couple divorce.

In the third year of their marriage, Zhou Xu returned home. At their first meeting, he spoke with icy contempt: “Who are you?”

Shen Nanxi: “I'm Nan Xi.”

“What gives you the right to tell me what to do?”

The day after returning, Zhou Xu threw divorce papers at Shen Nanxi.

“I don't know what my grandmother did to make you and me husband and wife.”

“But Miss Shen isn't my type, and I won't accept a marriage without love.”

As the Zhou family's three-year agreement with Shen Nanxi neared its end, she placed the divorce papers in front of Zhou Xu and asked for a divorce.

His expression was fierce and resolute. “You didn't ask what I thought when we got married. Now you want a divorce?”

“Not a chance.”

In order to get a divorce, Shen Nanxi went to a banquet to find Zhou Xu, but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her against his chest. His eyes reddening, he said, “Shen Nanxi, I've been in love with you for a long time. Could you love me, too?”
