Sweet romance with devoted leads + marriage first, love later + pretending turns into reality + reborn without a System + everyday urban life
Xu Che has been single for twenty-five years, and after finally landing a good job, his family hounds him every day to go on blind dates and get married.
He plans to go through the motions and leave, but as soon as he sits down, a voice from across the table says, "Xu Che, long time no see."
He looks up: a white T-shirt, a high ponytail, fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs.
Then her next sentence leaves him stunned:
"Let's get married."
Xu Che: "...?"
Ruan Li counts off her reasons on her fingers:
First, our families are both driving us crazy with marriage pressure. Second, we know each other well from middle school. Third, I'm pretty enough to make you look good when you take me out.
Oh, right, there's a fourth reason too...
"I've never dated anyone either. Two blank slates make a good match, don't you think?"
Xu Che agrees in a moment of rashness.
He thinks they'll just play along, get the marriage certificate, and then live separate lives.
But on the very first day after the wedding, she uses "we have to keep up the act" as an excuse to bring her suitcase over to his place.
On the third day, she uses her younger sister's schooling as an excuse to send her over to "keep an eye on them."
On the fifth day, her sister takes her hand and affectionately calls her "Sister-in-law," declaring that from now on, she'll only recognize her as her sister-in-law.
By day N, Xu Che realizes his home has been taken over by her things: matching toothbrushes in the bathroom, her favorite soda in the fridge, and the words that ring through the living room every night without fail:
"Honey, cuddle me."
Until one day, he leans close to her ear and says in a low voice:
"Ruan Li, that marriage of convenience you mentioned at the start... was a lie, wasn't it?"
She rises onto her toes, leans toward his ear, and answers softly:
"Of course it was a lie. But my feelings for you are real!"
It's beautiful, why are there so few people? The plot is quite heartwarming and the pace is good
Holy shit, why is no one reading such a great and beautiful novel? Real pure love in pure love. Damn it. I don't know how to describe it. Anyway, it's so good-looking and good-looking. Come in and read it.
Not bad, easy and pretty
Super invincible and beautiful
Better, easier. Come on
It's okay, it's pretty good-looking.
