Marriage first, love later / A guiding lover / A spoiled drama queen / A doting, fatherly type / Each other's first love

A flirtatious, spoiled piano beauty * An abstinent, self-controlled heir to a powerful family

The Su family of Jiangnan had an extraordinary beauty in its ranks. After winning a top international piano competition, she announced her retirement from the piano world and turned to the entertainment industry.

Many people waited to see this little white rabbit make a fool of herself, certain she would lose interest after a few days and slink back home to inherit the family business.

One day, a reporter arranged an exclusive interview with Su Yaoyi.

During the interview, a small accident occurred. Su Yaoyi's hair tie suddenly snapped, and her chestnut hair fell loose, nearly leaving her flustered on camera.

But Su Yaoyi simply smiled gently, slipped the jadeite bracelet from her wrist, and casually used it to tie up her hair, looking graceful and composed.

Then someone with a keen eye suddenly noticed that the bracelet Su Yaoyi had used as a hair tie was none other than the priceless treasure worth hundreds of millions that Qin Yan, the leading heir of the capital's most powerful family, cherished most.

The rumored young master of the Qin family had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Of mixed Chinese and Russian heritage, he was aloof and cold, standing at the very summit of power and wealth, his emerald-green eyes indifferent and weary.

Born into nobility but with few close family ties, he was coldhearted and ruthless, uncompromisingly strict, and loathed anything out of control or out of order.

After marrying Su Yaoyi, Qin Yan's principles went completely out of control. His wife was fussy and unreasonable, so, at his wit's end, he laid down a great many rules.

Later, after accidentally getting drunk one time, he woke up in the midst of soft, fragrant warmth and suddenly realized that once was enough to teach him.

And if he still didn't learn?

Then they could do it a few more times.

After countless lessons with Su Yaoyi, Qin Yan, thoroughly satisfied, kissed the red mole behind her ear from behind and praised her in a low voice.

"Good girl, just like that..."

"The point of this lesson is that all men out there have bad intentions. Don't go near them again, understand?"

Su Yaoyi's back ached, and her whole body was slick with sweat. She struggled free of the jadeite bracelet restraining her wrists and glared angrily at the man behind her, the corners of her eyes faintly red.

You're clearly the one with the worst intentions!

If she'd known beforehand that he had so many tricks and no sense of restraint, she never would have agreed to marry him!

//

After their marriage came to light, reporters and paparazzi dug into the couple's love story.

Qin Yan wrapped an arm around Su Yaoyi's waist, his green eyes smiling lazily and tenderly beneath his sunglasses.

"For a long time, my principle was that I would never love anyone. But once I had someone to love, she became my one and only principle."

[Please Note]

1. The male lead's moods are unpredictable. When you're not close, he'll lecture you with a stern face. Once you're very close, he'll mischievously tease his darling girl and deliberately role-play dirty talk.

2. The male lead falls first. Their relationship begins with physical intimacy, and they gradually fall in love over time.

3. The female lead seems gentle and well-behaved, but is actually spoiled and pampered. Neither lead is an absolutely perfect character.

4. A sweet marriage-first, love-later story. The beginning is a slow burn, followed by lots of sweetness. Five-year age gap, both virgins, happy ending.

5. In one sentence: A good girl's belated rebellious phase is firmly disciplined by her strict husband.

"Clinging to Qi, Yet Never Waking"

Possessive pursuit / Maximum-level groveling and redemption / The powerful one bows his head / Both leads are sexually inexperienced

A vengeful, coldhearted CEO * A stubborn secretary who loved him in vain

Ye Qi quietly fell in love with someone when she was young.

In a dimly lit chess room, a black-haired boy sat alone in a corner, quietly lowering his eyes. He held white in his left hand and black in his right, playing both attack and defense by himself.

The dappled shadows of flowers swaying outside the window were just like a young girl's feelings.

In that moment, Ye Qi resolved to go to his side.

But the world was ever-changing. When they met again, one was a rising CEO in the tech industry, while the other was a fallen heiress.

New to the workplace, Ye Qi was bullied by her colleagues and accidentally spilled red wine on Bo Yuwen.

The rich, dark wine stain spread across the man's chest. The atmosphere suddenly grew tense, and the room fell so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After a moment, the man's low, hoarse voice sounded above her.

"It's all right."

But that night, when Ye Qi was drunk and dumped into a vast presidential suite, she learned that the man's "It's all right" had been a lie.

She cried and begged for mercy, but he tormented her again and again.

The punishment came late, but grew more and more severe. Through tear-blurred eyes, she saw the man's expression, cold and sinister.

His hand, the one that moved the chess pieces, gripped her chin hard. Once he had her face in view, he mocked her with the faintest sneer.

"You shouldn't have provoked me."

During the time Bo Yuwen was at Ye Qi's beck and call, giving her whatever she wanted, she had imagined that perhaps, for one moment, he had been sincere too.

It wasn't until a cold wedding invitation was placed before her that she finally came to her senses.

All along, it had been one-sided.

//

Bo Yuwen knew Ye Qi loved him, loved him beyond her control.

Every time she was overcome with passion, every time she trembled, every time she looked at him with those damn, captivating eyes, it showed how deeply she had fallen. He found the whole thing absurd.

To him, Ye Qi was nothing more than a useful chess piece.

Useful in bed and out of it.

Why bother talking about feelings?

So when she said she wanted to leave, he didn't care. He even kindly introduced her to an old friend.

Calm and composed, he waited for Ye Qi to realize she was out of her depth and turn back. Instead, he watched helplessly as she walked toward someone else, smiling brightly, a relaxed and happy expression on her face that he had never seen before.

That day, the arrogant, untouchable Bo Yuwen tasted regret for the first time.

[Bonus Scene]

After their marriage, Bo Yuwen learned that Ye Qi used to enjoy watching him play chess. He specially brought out a set of jade chess pieces and invited her to play against him.

At first, Ye Qi was delighted and asked with a smile, "Where's the board?"

Bo Yuwen only gave her a meaningful, half-smiling look.

"Isn't it right here?"

"Take your clothes off."

//

"I spent half my life scrambling for fame and fortune. In the end, I, Bo Yuwen, willingly entered the game alone. The only person I've never been able to figure out in this life is you. I suppose I've been clinging to Qi without ever waking up."

[Please Note]

1. The male lead has plenty of issues, both before and after marriage. Only the female lead can keep him in line. He's the sort who'd rather suffer than lose face, and his mouth is the most stubborn part of him, so he gets the maximum-level groveling and redemption arc.

2. The female lead gives a lot in the early stages, but eventually comes to her senses and walks away.

3. Both leads are sexually inexperienced, and all the supporting characters serve to catalyze their relationship. A one-on-one romance with a strong mutual attraction.

4. In one sentence: After my friends-with-benefits-to-lovers plan failed, I ran away, and he panicked.

5. More to be added if I think of anything.

Theme: Relaxing your body and mind is important.
