My Second Power [Marriage Before Love]

[Wishing everyone who bookmarks this novel a fortune! ^^]

A socially anxious but wild-at-heart female writer & a proper physics teacher with a mind full of mischief

Six-year age gap + married first, fall in love later + guiding partner

Lin Jianlu got married on her twenty-fifth birthday. Her spouse was He Jianzhi, the trainee teacher she'd known for half a semester in her second year of high school.

Once like an older brother to her, he was now her lawful husband.

1.

Lin Jianlu had a secret.

Every novel she wrote had a character who was gentle, upright, well-read, and older than the protagonist.

And the model for that character was He Jianzhi.

Living under the same roof, she thought she'd kept her secret perfectly hidden. She never expected him to discover it one day.

The light was dim, the atmosphere charged, and the man's expression was just as difficult to read.

In a daze, she heard his low, husky laugh. "So you like role-playing, too."

2.

He Jianzhi's parents were both teachers. Just as his family expected, he went through school, exams, and further education one step at a time.

Then, in the second year of his master's program, he met a girl.

A butterfly caught in a spider's web: without hesitation, he reached out and set her free.

He never expected that years later, she would become his wife in a whirlwind marriage.

They each got what they needed and treated each other with respect, but he gradually found himself wanting more.

So, in secret, he started keeping a diary to record his wife's likes and dislikes.

[Likes seeing me in tight, quick-dry clothes.]

[Likes delicate, helpless-looking girls.]

[Likes standing positions.]

The latest entry:

[She also likes being on top.]

-

"I like sunbathing, I like big dogs, and I like you, He Jianzhi."

--Lin Jianlu

"Lin Jianlu, in my orderly life, you are an increase in entropy that I welcome with all my heart."

--He Jianzhi

1. [Important]

The female lead writes danmei fiction. There will be brief descriptions of her writing, but there are no male-male couples in the main story! Any side couples will be heterosexual, too!

2. The male lead met the female lead while he was a graduate student. There is no secret crush during their teacher-student relationship; their romance begins after marriage.

3. One-on-one romance, both leads' first sexual partners, happy ending, six-year age gap. A slow-paced, everyday-life romance. Do not draw parallels with real life!
