Marriage Before Love, Flirting in the Open and Falling in Secret

Faithful only to each other + Love at first sight

Sweet romance + Slow burn + A love that deepens over time + Extra sweet in the later chapters

A hilarious, laid-back sweetheart VS a ruthless, obsessive tough guy

Three months after getting their marriage certificate,

Shen Yan and her husband have yet to meet or exchange a word. She lives like a happily single woman.

That is, until one of her students gets into a fight and is taken to the police station. She rushes there, looks up, and comes face-to-face with Lu Xiao, the formidable captain of the criminal investigation squad.

“Ms. Shen?” The man’s gaze darkens.

She freezes, awkward and flustered. “W-what are you doing here?”

No one knows that this unhinged detective, feared by everyone for fighting violence with violence, fell in love with her at first sight during their blind date.

He was the one who proposed. “I’m often away on assignments. We won’t interfere in each other’s lives, and we can just pretend to be a couple for our families.”

Shen Yan happily agrees, unaware that this contractual marriage is his long-planned imprisonment of her.

To everyone else, he’s ruthless and merciless, with no regard even for his own family. But with her, his possessiveness grows unchecked.

He stays glued to her side when he picks her up from work, refuses to leave while she stays up late, and turns icy the moment a male coworker gets too close, making it clear that she belongs to him.

The contract is a pretense. His desire to possess her is real.

He never wanted a marriage of convenience. He wants her, and he wants her to belong to him for the rest of her life.
