    The female lead's maternal grandmother had been kind to the male lead's grandfather, who arranged their marriage. The female lead isn't stupid, just a little slow to react and doesn't understand subtle hints; all her emotions are written on her face. When she's angry, she tells the male lead so he can comfort her—a straightforward approach reduces misunderstandings. The male lead is genuinely a good person. Even though the marriage was unwilling, he didn't mistreat the female lead. He gave her a black card upon their first meeting. His only mistake was telling his wife he couldn't give her love, but from day one, he was attracted to her and teased her daily. He comforted her when she cried, and he even wore work pants and accompanied her to get her ears pierced—it really felt like a sweet, youthful campus romance.

    ☁️A warm and tender special education teacher X 🌧A self-conscious and sensitive full-time writer. The male lead is mute and very humble. Every time they argue, he makes trembling gestures in sign language. The female lead isn't too angry; she deliberately teases him by turning her back. The male lead immediately follows her, and the next second, she covers her eyes and refuses to look at him. The male lead, feeling wronged, bursts into tears and complains to her parents! Although the male lead in this book isn't autistic, it's still incredibly good!
