Sweet, doting romance with an older man + married first, fell in love later + mutual secret crushes become reality + both virgins + happy ending

On the day of the wedding, the older sister ran away, saying she hated the arranged marriage her family had set up and was going to seek true love.

With no other choice, the Lin family had her younger sister, Lin Ruofei, take her place and go through with the wedding.

Lin Ruofei agreed, wearing a wedding dress to marry her brother-in-law.

As they exchanged rings, her brother-in-law told her, "I'm sorry you have to go through this."

Lin Ruofei looked up, her heart in turmoil. She wanted to tell him she didn't feel wronged at all.

Because she'd had a secret crush on him for a long time.

After the wedding, the Lin and Lu families discussed what to do next.

Her brother-in-law said they should keep up appearances for a respectable period, say, three months.

After three months, the two families would jointly announce their divorce.

The Lin family agreed on the surface.

In private, they pressured Lin Ruofei to win over Lu Boyan and turn their pretend marriage into a real one.

That was exactly what Lin Ruofei wanted.

In the darkness, she wrapped her arms around her brother-in-law's waist and took the initiative to kiss him.

She pleaded in his ear, "Don't reject me. You'll make me feel so embarrassed."

Lu Boyan's heart was thrown into complete disarray.

All along, Lu Boyan had believed he didn't need love, only a wife from a family of equal standing.

Later, he realized he really didn't need love.

Because love made him lose control, grow jealous and insecure, and become overwhelmingly possessive, exposing every dark side of human nature.

He wanted nothing more than to keep her trapped in bed and stop her from going out to see anyone.

The young woman laughed at him. "I wonder who it was that once said so righteously, 'Ruofei, I can't be with you. You should find someone who truly loves you.'"

He pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Don't say any more. The past is too painful to look back on, but fortunately, the future is full of promise.
