[Male lead becomes the other man's mistress + both leads are sexually inexperienced + questionable morals]
At a wedding banquet, Pei Jiming fell in love at first sight with a woman who had come to attend.
She wasn't a guest or a bridesmaid. She was... the bride.
Pei Jiming smiled.
"Hah, this groom is something else. Instead of marrying the woman he loves, he marries the woman I love."
From that moment on, Pei Jiming kept a secret in his heart.
He coveted another man's wife.
His close friend tried to talk him out of it.
"Brother Pei, you're an important figure in Jingbei. How can you go and... become someone else's mistress?"
Pei Jiming let out a long sigh.
"A mistress? But if I told you I didn't fall for someone else's wife, but that the woman I loved suddenly became someone else's wife, would you still think I'm a mistress?"

After marrying Jiang Lichuan, Lin Wu wanted nothing more than to live a quiet, ordinary life.
She didn't want to cause anyone any trouble.
So even though Jiang Lichuan treated her with great affection on the surface, he still wouldn't touch her after all their days of marriage, and she never asked why.
Until Pei Jiming appeared.
Like a burglar, he broke into her world, turning her still, lifeless existence into storm-tossed seas.
He had ulterior motives. He got close to her, tempted her, and coaxed her into doing one improper thing after another.
Just as everything was about to spiral out of control, Lin Wu pulled away in time and tried to run.
But Pei Jiming trapped her and cruelly tore down the veil she had never dared to look beyond.
"Good girl, look at what your wonderful husband... no, your soon-to-be ex-husband, is doing with his widowed sister-in-law."
