Web novelist x university professor

One-on-one, both leads sexually inexperienced, happy ending
Marriage before love | Gentle dom | Very satisfying | A guiding kind of lover
With the adventurous mindset of someone eager to experience a marriage-before-love story firsthand, Wen Xuezhi got married.
To a man she'd met only three times.
-
Of the three Wen children, the youngest, Wen Xuezhi, was the one who attracted the least attention.
Apart from being pretty and well-behaved, there wasn't much to say about her.
But nobody knew how steamy the stories she wrote under a pen name were.
With a pen in hand, she could have any man she wanted!
Today she'd write a 188 cm tall, lean, fair-skinned puppy boy; tomorrow, a mixed-race chocolate hunk with a huge package and a serious mommy kink. The thirsty girls in the comments went wild.
Until she met Zhou Shuozhi.
Yikes, she'd never written this type before.
Thin lips, long lashes, cool eyes. When he quietly lowered his gaze, he looked like a crane folding its wings.
He called her "Miss Wen" in an old-fashioned way, always wore a three-piece suit, and would softly say, "Excuse me," whenever he had to come close.
He would also innocently say awful things like, "I'm not young anymore..."
Perfect. He's the one.
If they didn't get along, she'd just have a roommate with good habits.
If they did...
Wen Xuezhi looked at Zhou Shuozhi, his upper body defined with distinct muscles, water droplets sliding down the V-line and disappearing beneath the waistband of his gray sweatpants. She screamed silently inside.
Then she'd hit the jackpot!

Zhou Shuozhi thought there was something a little odd about his new bride.
He knew their marriage was meant to appease their elders, and had prepared for them to treat each other with respect and keep their distance.
But why were her eyes so wide on their wedding night when, after politely wishing her good night, he was about to sleep in the guest room?
And why, when he stumbled upon a young man confessing his love to her, did he stop and politely turn away, only to hear her mutter in frustration that night, "That's not right. Wasn't he supposed to pin me against the wall, grab my waist, and get all red-eyed and desperate for me...?"
He cherished and doted on her, then wiped her sweat, brought her water, and gave her a massage. He never expected her, her cheeks still flushed, to ask him with shining eyes, "Do you... know what an English-style sex act is?"
He gradually realized that Wen Xuezhi seemed to have assigned a strange script to their married life.
And in that script, he was apparently supposed to play a male lead with overwhelming possessiveness and constant outbursts of rage.
Was that her ideal partner? He couldn't learn to act that way. It wasn't in him.
Still, in some respects, he didn't mind putting all the many positions and scenarios in her stories into practice.
[Bonus Scene]
Wen Xuezhi: Honey, could you... I mean... say that line again?
Zhou Shuozhi: Which one? "I'm not young anymore," or "Good girl, bend down a little"?
The next day, Wen Xuezhi rubbed her aching waist and flew into a rage: No more combo moves next time!
