I Speed-Married a Rugged Police Detective, and the Sweet Artist Revealed Her Dark Side

[Marriage first, love later + astonishing contrast + mutual salvation + face-slapping power fantasy + 1v1, both leads are virgins]

On the day they married at first sight, Jiang Wu and Pei Xiao, the delinquent heartthrob she'd secretly loved in high school, agreed to three rules: keep the marriage private, don't interfere in each other's lives, and treat each other with courtesy.

Pei Xiao was a famously tough, rugged cop who could kick three criminals flying with one foot.

In his eyes, his new wife Jiang Wu was a "little peach" who couldn't unscrew a bottle cap and would tear up if anyone raised their voice.

Every night, this rugged cop kept his wild side in check and carefully held her in his arms as he soothed her.

That was until a major international fraud case broke out. The city bureau paid a huge sum to bring in the mysterious criminal profiler "Z," rumored to be able to "draw the evil hidden in people's bones" and so terrifying to overseas fraud rings that they fled at the mere mention of the name.

At the crime scene, Pei Xiao watched his delicate wife, who normally wouldn't even touch a knife, calmly remove her gold-rimmed glasses. In the gentlest voice, she said just a few words and completely shattered the psychological defenses of the international ringleader, a man with nerves of steel.

Pei Xiao wiped his face and gritted his teeth as he blocked the interrogation-room door. "Jiang Wu, how many secrets are you still keeping from me?"

Jiang Wu instantly turned soft and adorable, tugged his sleeve, and teared up. "Honey, I really can't even unscrew a bottle cap. Do you believe me?"

Pei Xiao laughed in exasperation, held her by the waist, and coaxed her softly. "I believe you. When we get home tonight, I'll help you unscrew it."
