Marriage Before Love: Mr. Pei Spoils Me Rotten

[Married First, Love Later | Slow-Burning Romance | Both Pure | Six-Year Age Gap] They meet at noon and register their marriage that afternoon. Wen Ning, who graduated and started her job just a few months ago, suddenly becomes the envy of everyone as Mrs. Pei. But this absurd marriage is merely a bargaining chip, with her standing in for the older sister who ran away from her wedding, all to satisfy her father’s ambition to attach himself to the powerful. Pei Yuxiao is the most powerful young heir in Beijing’s elite circles. At twenty-nine, he’s cool and abstinent, and there has never been a woman by his side all these years. Wen Ning assumes they’re only putting on an act and going through the motions. She never expects him to agree to the marriage and wed her, even though she has no say in the matter. Two months after the wedding, they share a bed for the first time. Nervous, Wen Ning wraps herself up like a dumpling and shrinks into the farthest corner of the bed. Pei Yuxiao sees the “dumpling” curled up at the edge, then calmly lies down on the other side. “Go to sleep. I won’t touch you. I’m not that much of a beast... I won’t force you!” Later, through their passionate, entangled days and nights, Wen Ning learns just how insatiable the man who seems so cool and restrained can be. But he is also the man who gives her all the tenderness and devoted affection she has been missing her whole life. Of all the tenderness in the world, only unwavering devotion can heal the fear of a lifetime spent without love.
