    Family, your reading savior has arrived! Today I absolutely have to recommend this gem of a novel by Tomato Books—"After the Fake Marriage." It's a classic blend of arranged marriage and sweet romance set in a wealthy family, guaranteed to be a read-it-all! The female lead, Jin Chuchu, is a bright and beautiful heiress, free-spirited and decisive, but her deep affections are misplaced on her unrequited love, Zheng Xingfan, leading to rejection and making her the laughingstock of the community. The male lead, Kong Jiayang, appears to be a carefree playboy from a wealthy family, but he's actually a pure-hearted person who has long been in love with Chuchu. A family-arranged marriage binds these two people who would otherwise never have crossed paths. For the sake of her family, Chuchu reluctantly signs a one-year fake marriage agreement with Kong Jiayang. At the Civil Affairs Bureau, Kong Jiayang puts on a dramatic performance, taking a heartfelt wedding photo, but Chuchu knows in her heart that it's just a transaction. On their wedding night, Kong Jiayang shields Chuchu from countless malicious toasts, getting so drunk he's practically vomiting into the toilet. Only then does Chuchu realize that this seemingly unruly man is actually very responsible. After marriage, the couple adopted a semi-open marriage. Kong Jiayang secretly orchestrated events to secure Chu Chu's position within the family. At a family banquet, when faced with elders' disdain for Chu Chu's profession, he responded assertively, exuding a strong sense of security. Meanwhile, Chu Chu attended a class reunion and saw Zheng Xingfan with his new lover. Although her heart was stirred, she also realized the truth of her own feelings. Kong Jiayang, witnessing Chu Chu's interactions with Zheng Xingfan, felt wronged and jealous, but could only confide in his deceased mother through text messages. Later, a misunderstanding led Chu Chu to witness Kong Jiayang's intimacy with another woman, and heartbroken, she filed for divorce. However, after the truth came out, Chu Chu realized that this marriage was actually Kong Jiayang's long-planned love. He had liked her from the beginning, meticulously scheming to get closer to her. This novel features a tight plot and exceptionally well-developed characters. Chu Chu decisively rejected her former lover and wholeheartedly devoted herself to her new relationship; Kong Jiayang's transformation from silently protecting her to becoming humble in love, his "chasing after his wife" saga, was both pitiful and endearing. For those who love the idea of marriage before love and the sweet romance of a wealthy family, just go for it!
