[Both leads are virgins + older male lead + secret love becomes mutual + both leads have sharp tongues + sweet romance]
After the Song family goes bankrupt, her father dies and her mother falls ill. Song Qingran drifts through life until she unexpectedly sleeps with a man.
When she wakes again, three years have passed.
The man holds up a little red booklet and tells her, “We're married. We're legally husband and wife.”
Song Qingran doesn't like him.
Sure, he's handsome, but he's also competitive and possessive.
He acts like a male model and tempts her into playing little games every night, leaving her hooked.
Then he pushes his luck even further, telling her to delete every man's contact information, including that of her childhood sweetheart and her own father.
Unable to take it anymore, Song Qingran asks for a divorce.
But when she's kidnapped and the man takes a bullet for her before plunging into the sea, she finally understands her own feelings.

Huo Yanchi fakes his death and disappears for three months. Then news reaches him in Jing City: Song Qingran is auditioning male models and looking for a boyfriend.
He can't sit still.
He catches a flight in the middle of the night and makes a grand entrance.
But Song Qingran doesn't even look at him. She walks straight past him toward the fresh-faced young man behind him.
Huo Yanchi grabs her sleeve, his voice low and husky. “Honey, just humor me once.”
Song Qingran brushes his hand away and smiles at him. “Sure. Get in line first.”
Huo Yanchi grits his teeth.
What is a man supposed to do when his wife is so popular?
The moment he gives up even a little ground, every other dog comes running at the scent!
Eventually, he gets smart.
He acts magnanimous and becomes a devoted husband.
His wife wants to go on a date with another man?
He says considerately, “Come home early. I bought even more fun toys for tonight.”
With his sweet-talking schemes and competitive streak, he wins his beauty back. A year later, he fathers a child and secures his place as her one and only husband.
