Thank you for supporting the official release.] As the sensible child in a wealthy family, Yu Yan had known from the start that he would be expected to marry for the sake of an alliance, and he had accepted it without complaint. Still, when he learned that his intended was Xue Kuo of the Xue family, it took him a while to come to terms with it. After all, he barely knew this top student from the Xue family. Xue Kuo was a few years older than Yu Yan: mature, accomplished, and highly educated. In Yu Yan’s eyes, he always seemed aloof. Though their families meant they often crossed paths at public events, they had hardly ever spoken. Whenever their eyes accidentally met, they would quietly look away. Yu Yan even thought Xue Kuo looked down on an immature kid like him and didn’t like him much. He worried that they wouldn’t get along after they married. But not long after the wedding, Yu Yan realized he had worried for nothing. They were both part of the same social circle, and Xue Kuo had some impression of Yu Yan. Yu Yan had a face that looked sweet and well-behaved, and he really was sincere and likable. He was always surrounded by several close friends. Xue Kuo was used to keeping to himself and never quite fit in with them. He had always assumed Yu Yan would choose one of those friends as his marriage partner. He never expected Yu Yan to agree to marry him. They had their first proper conversation on the day the marriage alliance was finalized. Xue Kuo began with a kind warning: “If you have any objections, or if there’s someone else you’d rather marry, we can still talk it over.” Yu Yan was secretly surprised. So Xue Kuo really was as rational and aloof as he seemed. He answered frankly too: “I don’t have any objections. It’s all the same to me who I marry for an alliance.” He kindly asked in return, “What about you? Do you have any objections?” Xue Kuo was silent for two seconds, then said flatly, “It’s all the same to me who I marry, too.” *A pure romance, a sweet little story about a couple who fall in love after marrying first, and their everyday life together~* Please add my next modern danmei sweet romance, an age-gap story, to your want-to-read list: *My Cousin’s Roommate Is Pursuing Me*~ Blurb: Shen Chijing’s cousin couldn’t stand his parents pressuring him to date and get married, so on New Year’s Eve he brought a boyfriend home without warning. His aunt and uncle had never imagined their son might be gay. They were horrified and furious, crying, shouting, and pounding the table until the family dinner descended into chaos. His cousin even clasped hands with the young man beside him, fingers entwined, with a provocative look on his face. The two of them looked utterly devoted to each other, but Shen Chijing couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Why did it seem like his cousin’s boyfriend kept staring at him? His roommate said his parents were so desperate for grandchildren that they were already pushing him to go on blind dates before he had even graduated from college. He pleaded with Xie Yu for help, asking him to pretend to be his boyfriend and give his parents a shock, so they would leave him alone for at least a few years. Xie Yu had nothing better to do, so he agreed. His roommate gave him a persona: obedient and devoted. That meant he only had to quietly play along, while his roommate handled the rest. Xie Yu followed his roommate into the Shen family’s living room, his expression blank. His gaze swept over the stunned faces, then suddenly settled on a man sitting on the sofa. The man was handsome and refined, his lean, graceful waist outlined by a pure white shirt. He had a mature, gentle air and a soft gaze. Sitting among the others, he seemed to glow with a gentle light of his own. Xie Yu’s heartbeat instantly went haywire. ...He thought he finally understood what love at first sight felt like. Theme: The right person can make life better.
