Married First, Fell in Love Later: He'd Been Planning It All Along

Sisters, I found a treasure! "Marriage first, love later, he has planned it for a long time" - the title of the book sounds a bit cliche, right? I originally clicked on it casually to read it, but ended up reading 7 chapters in one go. Now my mind is filled with Fu Siyan's word "hmm". Let's talk about the heroine Wen Zhixu first. Not silly! Not a love brain! She married into a wealthy family on behalf of her sister, not to accept her fate, but to get back the equity her adoptive mother left to her. Even though she was ridiculed by her aunt and looked down upon by her servants, her back was straight and she was neither humble nor arrogant. When I saw her questioning the male protagonist in the study room, "That's my name engraved on it," I called her a good guy - this female protagonist has brains and courage. Let's talk about the male protagonist Fu Siyan. On the surface, he is an ascetic Buddhist, with gold-rimmed glasses, cold and dignified. On his wedding night, he just said "I'll sleep in the study" and left. But if you look carefully: he remembered that the heroine did not eat Western food, he protected her from her uncle's ridicule, and he had someone send a Go book and thoughtfully dog-eared it. The most amazing thing is - the word "Zhixu" is engraved on the inside of his string of Buddhist beads that never leave his body. The heroine asked him why. He was silent for a long time and said, "You saw it wrong." Refuse to admit it! But when he turned around, his eyes turned red. Sisters, this is not coldness, this is not expression! The episode that shocked me the most was Chapter 7. The heroine went to play chess with Mr. Fu, and the old man told her: Fu Siyan came back from abroad eight years ago and seemed to have lost his soul. After that, he would disappear for a period of time every summer. The string of prayer beads was left to him by his grandmother, asking him to engrave the names of worthy people. "He waited eight years for you." Seeing this, I really broke my guard. The heroine sent him a message: "Thank you for waiting." He replied with one word: "Yeah." Eight years of waiting, hidden in a "hmm". Author, you know how to make tears. Now that I have finished reading the first 7 chapters, I am stuck at the point where the heroine has just learned the truth and the hero is still holding on. What other secrets does the Shen family have? Who is the adoptive mother? What is the relationship between the male protagonist's mother and the Shen family? When can the heroine say "I understand" to him face to face? I want to see the female protagonist chasing her husband (no), I want to see the male protagonist break his defense, and I want to see the follow-up!
