[Bickering Couple / Archrivals / Long-Standing Scheme / Both Each Other’s First / HE] From the hero’s perspective, he’s been plotting for years. From the heroine’s perspective, she falls for him and claims him.
When Shen Zhiyi receives notice of her arranged marriage, all she wants to do is tear up Lu Cishen’s bid proposal.
When Lu Cishen learns she’s his fiancée, he has just burned her invitation to a design exhibition.
After ten years as archrivals, they become husband and wife overnight. It’s a battlefield from the start: “We’ll sleep in separate rooms and get divorced in a year.”
But when the elevator breaks down and her claustrophobia kicks in, he forces open the doors and finds her. When the whole internet turns against her, he quietly takes her side. When her family is attacked, he steps in front of her.
“Lu Cishen, have you been keeping tabs on me for ten years?”
“I was just keeping an eye on the competition.”
“Then why are you crying?”
At the victory banquet, she gets drunk and clings to him. “You’re actually… kind of cute.”
He answers in a low voice, “You’ll regret that tomorrow.”
She buries her face in his neck. “I already regret not realizing it sooner.”
Your arranged-marriage partner is your archrival? Help, I need an answer fast. Maybe claiming him wouldn’t be so bad!
