One day, the winds of change blow, and Fang Mujing goes from a favored daughter of heaven to one of the “Black Five Categories,” with a suspect class background.
To spare her the hardships of being sent to the countryside, her parents entrust her to the Qu family, old friends who owe them a favor.
But the eldest Qu son is already engaged. With no other choice, the taciturn second son, Qu Hua, a surgeon, is forced by his parents to marry her.
On their wedding night, they have nothing to say to each other.
In Qu Hua's eyes, Fang Mujing is a spoiled brat who will do anything to ingratiate herself with the Qu family and avoid being sent to the countryside.
Fang Mujing knows she's unwelcome. Living under the Qu family's roof, she keeps her head down, tamps down her pride, and becomes a middle-school teacher, asking only for a roof over her head.
They become strangers who know each other best, wary and restrained.
Fang Mujing thinks her husband still loves his ex-girlfriend, a nurse. He married her only because he had no choice, and she dares not trust him with her heart.
Qu Hua, however, thinks his wife can't forget his elder brother and married him only as a stopgap. Day after day, he quietly competes with his brother in his mind.
Then life rolls on amid daily chores, and over time, they begin to see each other's softer side.
One day, Fang Mujing looks at the man who comes home late with a cold expression every day and asks tentatively, “Doctor Qu, are you... jealous of your big brother?”
Qu Hua's ears turn red. He corners her in the kitchen and grits out, “I'm not just jealous of my brother. I'm jealous of the male teachers at your school, too. Can't you tell?”
A slow-burn period drama, focused on everyday life and the steady rhythms of married life.
No golden finger, just two ordinary people feeling each other out and warming one another in a special era.
Both leads misunderstand each other and get jealous. Married first, fall in love later; one-on-one romance with a devoted couple.
Cool and aloof teacher vs. sharp-tongued doctor who overthinks everything and gets jealous.

Very attractive, directly put into the faces of the male and female protagonists This is my second brush, it looks great.
It's good, but the heroine is almost perfect here. There are almost no such people.
It has been made into a TV series, it must be five stars!
Not bad, worth recommending
It's good-looking and worth reading twice. The feelings of the 1970s and 1980s are flowing 👍
It's very interesting, the writing is fluent, there is no nonsense, the male and female protagonists have distinct characters, and I really like the heroine's character. Please update the author soon!
