[Marriage First, Love Later + Age Gap + The Powerful One Bows His Head + A Clean Romance]
Her fiancé cheats with her stepsister, and her graduation thesis is plagiarized. Ji Shuwan is forced to drop out and branded a plagiarist.
Just when her life seems to have hit rock bottom, things take a turn for the better. Her arranged-marriage partner is now Qin Yanzhou, the immensely powerful heir to a financial empire, and her former fiancé’s uncle.
They register their marriage in a whirlwind, then treat each other like strangers. For two whole years, she doesn’t even see her husband once.
They meet again when she’s doubled over with acute appendicitis, waiting in a long line to register at the hospital late at night. By chance, she sees Qin Yanzhou summon the entire top medical team in Haicheng, all to treat the woman he’s always loved.
Ji Shuwan decides to let go and divorce him, giving them her blessing and ending their marriage of convenience once and for all.
But that night, the man pins her against the door and kisses her fiercely, his ink-dark eyes full of possessive obsession. “I hear you tell everyone you barely know me. So, do we know each other now?”
-
By their fourth year of marriage, their two little cherubs have turned into leaky little jackets that let the cold right in.
Whenever Qin Yanzhou tries to get close to his wife, the little ones grab his trouser legs and wail.
The young master is at his wit’s end. Sending them to the old family home to be disciplined doesn’t work, and his wife keeps getting stolen away from him.
“Mommy, if Daddy finds out you took us to the amusement park, won’t he get jealous?”
“Mommy, your stomach isn’t well, but you still had ice cream with us. If Daddy finds out, won’t he punish us?”
“Daddy is so scary. Unlike us, all we do is worry about Mommy~”
Qin Yanzhou frowns. Hold it together. They’re your own kids!!
It's been a long time since I've read a slightly sour short story. There were a lot of misunderstandings between the male and female protagonists, but they were resolved quickly. It's great!
