"Marriage before love / groveling to win her back / both leads are each other's first and only"
The male lead is basically free of major moral flaws. There isn't really a white moonlight, the female lead doesn't suffer too much, and the male lead goes through moderate angst.
I love melodrama and won't change the male lead.
Feel free to criticize the characters, but don't criticize me ˃ ˄ ˂̥̥
On the very first day of their marriage, Lin Zhao said he wanted him and Luo Zhilan to be a couple who treated each other with courteous indifference. What he didn't know was that Luo Zhilan had been in love with him for years.
He truly was a good man: his career in government was flourishing, he was well-read and talented, and he was warm and courteous. He simply didn't love Luo Zhilan.
At first, Luo Zhilan didn't mind. So what if he had a white moonlight? He wouldn't take a concubine, so if they spent enough time together, surely one day she'd open his heart.
But she never imagined that the white moonlight would be her own older sister.
Anyone else would have been fine. But not her sister.
Even if her sister didn't want something, Luo Zhilan would never covet what belonged to her.
But just when Luo Zhilan shut her heart away and decided to accept his proposal, why did he suddenly panic?
