[Both leads are virgins + The male lead has been plotting this for years + The female lead marries first, falls in love later + Mostly a slow, everyday romance]
“Clear-headed, rational university lecturer ✖️ Cold-faced, secretly passionate business tycoon”
For the first twenty-nine years of her life, Wen Zhiyao's world is simple: conduct research and fulfill her adoptive father's dying wish.
She never imagined she'd impulsively marry her client at twenty-nine.
He Yuxing is handsome and rich, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Who could resist him?
With a husband like that, she'd eat several more bowls of rice at every meal.
He Yuxing: “Honey, am I the person you love most?”
Wen Zhiyao: “Obviously. Who else would it be?”
He Yuxing: “Honey, I'll be good. Please don't leave me, okay?”
Wen Zhiyao: “Wherever I go, you always come sniffing after me anyway.”
"Joan Didion"
True love is born in the moment we recognize each other,
when you see the abyss within me,
and I see the dawn in your eyes.
(Content note: The female lead has an ex-boyfriend; she is the male lead's first love. The male lead is an illegitimate son who was separated from his family as a child.)
"A little reading tip": The male lead has had a crush on the female lead for six years and loves her desperately, so there are no arranged-marriage partners or rumored love interests. Our He Yuxing doesn't do anything that might make his wife misunderstand! The female lead won't suffer too much, but the male lead will. Neither lead is perfect; everyone has their own flaws and limitations, so feel free to leave if that's not for you. The academic details in this story are fictional, so please don't take them as fact. If anything infringes on anyone's rights, I'll revise it immediately. Thank you all for your support!
