Name: The 1980s: My Flash-Marriage Partner Is a Cold, Elite Beijing Official
Author: Zhimo

Synopsis

[Beloved heroine in a 1960s setting + Marriage Before Love + everyday life + slow-burn romance + abstinent official]

Song Zhiyun died from exhaustion.

In her previous life, she was a workaholic: classes during the day, a part-time job at night, and writing until the early hours. She had just managed to buy a house when she died.

When she opened her eyes again, she had become the precious only child of the Song family for six generations in the 1960s. She had lost her parents when she was very young, but she had a whole crowd of people doting on her. This time, she was determined to lie flat!

But just after graduating and returning home, she learned she had acquired a husband.

Who was he? She had no idea. What did he look like? She had never met him.

The only information she had was that he worked for a government department in the capital, was young and promising, and exceptionally handsome.

Song Zhiyun was furious, but when she saw her seventy-six-year-old grandfather going to the river in the middle of the night to catch little fish for her, she just couldn't stay angry.

Fine, she'd go meet the “husband” she'd never laid eyes on.

If it didn't work out, she'd run away.

…

Chen Jingxu's marriage came about for no apparent reason.

His grandfather made a fuss every day, pretending to be ill and pitiful and going to the hospital every few days. He insisted Chen get married.

His superiors were concerned too, regularly reminding him, “Xiao Chen, you need to sort out your personal life soon. The organization is very concerned.”

He hadn't planned on getting married, since it sounded like a hassle. But with pressure coming from both sides and no one he liked, why not marry whoever they chose?

Who was the bride? He had no idea. What did she look like? He wasn't sure.

His grandfather had picked her and said they were childhood betrothed, so Chen would just go along with it.

…

Much later…

“Wifey.” “What?” “Nothing, just wanted to call you.”

The heroine shouldn't be a rich heiress, and the hero shouldn't be a rough, uncouth type. At first, she should be attracted to him because he has something to offer, but she should also come to like him.
