Synopsis

Sweet romance, both leads’ first love, marriage before love, reunion after a long separation, 6.67-year age gap

Gentle, childish, and always pretending to be the big brother (a natural flirt who has no idea how alluring he is)

Sweet-natured, decisive, and unbothered (a devoted wife, with a special berserk-dragon mode)

On the day she was to marry into the wealthy Qi family, Lan Zhijun leaped without hesitation straight into her future husband’s arms.

The refined, jade-like master painter she had admired turned out to be the older brother who had locked her away and hidden her all night when they were children.

That year, on a chaotic, rainy night, both sets of parents called the police and searched the whole city, causing a huge commotion as they looked for her.

Yet the two children slept soundly in a bed at their hometown home. Later, in that very same bed, Wei Tingzhi held her down and coaxed her into calling him “husband,” even getting her to say what she had as a child: that she wanted to sleep with her big brother.

It was supposed to be a marriage of convenience, but before long, her heart had given way again and again.

This shameless husband always found a way to make her willingly indulge his insatiable desires.

In the end, she spoiled him until he wanted more and more. Even after she wore herself out pleasing him, he still scolded her: “You little rascal, are you rewarding your big brother or yourself?”

She said nothing, only lowering her head to kiss him. Wei Tingzhi could take no more. “You’re going to be the death of me.”

But she shook her head. “I don’t want your life. I want something else.”

It was the first time Wei Tingzhi had ever been willing to hit her. “Well, look at you! You’ve learned to be naughty.”

Lan Zhijun’s legs went weak from his kisses, and her heart even softer. She was only a fake heiress everyone despised. What had she done to deserve Wei Tingzhi falling for her so completely?

She thought the love that lingered in her memories had long since expired. She never imagined Wei Tingzhi would insist on making every bit of it last, until she cherished him endlessly in her heart.

I Don’t Understand!!! I Want Female-Protagonist-Centered Stories Where the Heroine Never Suffers the Slightest Grievance

Why are there none at all! Why are female-oriented novels all about "it's satisfying to torment the wife for a while, and even more satisfying to torment her forever" these days? Are novels where the woman is strong and the man is submissive really that hard to find? Does the heroine have to be brutally mistreated and still stay in love and act like a lovesick puppy? Desperately looking for stories where the man is devoted and chases after the woman.

I don’t want either lead to be stupid. I hope the story has a warm, everyday feel. They don’t have to be rich, but there absolutely shouldn’t be any huge misunderstandings between them. Both should be pure in love, please and thank you. I’ve been reading for years, and so many authors write things that make no sense. Sigh ╯﹏╰
