Why Is My Newlywed Husband Like This?

Two tsundere personalities | Political marriage | Barely know each other before the wedding

The original title is "See You Tonight". It will be changed back after the novel is complete.

Backup shamelessly cheesy titles: "Married First, Fell in Love Later with My Ex’s Nemesis", "Why Is My New Husband Like This?", "Shocking! This Man Acts Like a Strict Husband, Yet Pretends His Wife Rules the House"

Li Man has someone else in her heart, and Shao Yuechuan doesn’t think much of her either.

Neither of them wants this marriage.

All they need to do is be civil to each other, so she lays out her terms first: “You hold up your end of the contract, and I’ll put on a show of being in love. Otherwise, we stay out of each other’s business.”

He raises an eyebrow. “You don’t want to fulfill your marital duties?”

She thinks it over. “Well… that depends on what both people can manage and want. You’re nearly thirty, after all. It’s not as if I can expect you to be ready whenever I feel like it.”

Shao Yuechuan takes his new wife’s thoughtfulness as a provocation without missing a beat.

In response, he gives a cold laugh. “We have a long life ahead of us. Let’s hope you never end up crying and demanding to know why I don’t love you.”

With no feelings between them, Li Man can make use of Shao Yuechuan’s money and influence without a shred of guilt. The one thing she doesn’t dare ask him for is love.

So when she realizes that day is drawing near, she asks for a divorce.

After they marry, whether it’s a gathering with friends or a business dinner, Shao Yuechuan is always the first to leave.

A little drunk, he rubs his wedding ring and speaks with a helpless smile in his eyes. “Can’t be helped. My wife keeps me on a tight leash. If I’m not home by ten, I have to sleep in the guest room.”

In truth, no one is waiting for him at home.

The bedroom is empty, and so is his heart.

As dawn breaks and the bottles run dry, he misses her more and more.

Shao Yuechuan tears up the signed divorce papers on the table.

This marriage cannot end.
