Marriage first, love later / devoted to each other / sweet romance / no angst / lighthearted
Bai Jianjia receives the ultimate marriage proposal: a marriage contract between her and Gu Yuzhou.
Their parents beam. “At last, the day has come!”
Bai Jianjia looks up at the man before her. His family and looks are both top-tier, and most importantly, he has a pair of hands she can't take her eyes off.
Well, this engagement was settled for them when they were children, anyway.
At first, Gu Yuzhou sees Bai Jianjia's gentle, demure nature as the perfect embodiment of what a wife should be.
But only after they marry does he gradually realize that his seemingly well-behaved little wife is always stirring unexpected ripples in the calm lake of his heart, all without making a fuss.
While outsiders assume this is nothing more than a marriage between social equals, his orderly, closely guarded private world has long since been gently covered with traces of her.
It turns out the loveliest kind of marriage-first, love-later story isn't about a meeting arranged in advance. It's about the whole world making way for their love.
It's about finding that, along the road they agreed to walk, each of them had already saved a place for the other.
It's about walking toward you, only to realize
You weren't waiting for me to arrive when I was supposed to. You were waiting for the moment I truly came to you.
It's too short, dear, lengthen it, lengthen it, lengthen it
