In the fifth year of his secret crush, Lin Qi finally managed to add his goddess on WeChat.

The moment his friend request was accepted, Lin Qi was so nervous he could barely type.

He typed "Hello" and meant to press send, but his finger slipped and started a video call instead.

Afraid she would block him, Lin Qi hurriedly sent a voice message to apologize.

But the words "The other person is typing" flashed in the chat again and again, before she finally sent: "What is it?"

She's a goddess through and through. Even when he's being this rude, she's still so gentle...

Lin Qi was practically drowning in pink hearts.

When Fu Chiyan saw that a stranger had added him on WeChat, he wanted to block him right away.

But after hearing the man's bright, clear voice, Fu Chiyan inexplicably couldn't bring himself to do it.

Then the very next day, Lin Qi bombarded him with messages.

Is this guy trying to hit on him?

Fed up, Fu Chiyan wanted to delete him this time.

But when he accidentally came across Lin Qi's Moments, he went soft again.

...He looks so much like the hamster I used to have. So cute.

Lin Qi was terrible at pursuing someone. Every day, he checked in with a good morning and good night, then sent all kinds of little updates about his life. Anyone watching would laugh and say he'd die alone.

But Fu Chiyan thought it was pretty cute.

He figured that, if all went well, they would be walking hand in hand through the snow in Norway on Valentine's Day next year.

One day, Lin Qi was walking down the street when he saw his goddess walking and laughing with a tall man. They seemed very close.

Lin Qi's heart sank. He stared at his goddess, not sparing the man beside her even a glance.

He worked up the courage to greet her, but she walked right past him as if they didn't know each other at all.

Ignored, Lin Qi was mortified and just wanted to get away.

He wandered around in a daze for a long time before realizing he had walked into a dead end.

Just as he turned around, a burning-hot body pressed against him, pinning him to the wall and kissing him until his legs went weak.

As his mind went blank, an angry voice sounded by his ear: "You tell me you like me on WeChat every day, so why were you staring at my little sister just now?"

The young marquis, Xue Liujin, had been pampered and privileged since childhood. Arrogant and unruly to the core, he had only ever been stumped by one thing:

being forced to marry a man.

On their wedding night, Xue Liujin told Su Yu, "I won't fall in love with a man, and I could never love you. Know your place."

Su Yu hadn't said a word, but when he got a good look at Xue Liujin, he paused, then slowly replied, "All right."

*

After they'd been married for a while, Xue Liujin found Su Yu more and more irritating.

They went to bed on opposite sides, yet in the morning Su Yu would be curled up in his arms.

He had said he didn't need Su Yu to care about him, yet Su Yu still prepared delicious meals every day to please him.

Su Yu's neck was so slender and fair, yet he insisted on baring it every day, making Xue Liujin feel restless and flustered.

One night, Xue Liujin asked Su Yu why he was so good to him.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Because I love my husband."

The man's smile made Xue Liujin's heart skip a beat.

He rolled over, pinning Su Yu beneath him on the bed, and said in a low voice, "Then let me see your love."

*

Xue Liujin slowly fell in love with Su Yu, until he was completely unable to escape it.

But he could never figure out why Su Yu would love him, so he became anxious and insecure, asking Su Yu over and over whether he really loved him.

Su Yu accepted all his cruel teasing, his misty eyes looking through Xue Liujin as if he were seeing someone else. "I love you."

To prove that Su Yu loved him, Xue Liujin made trouble without end.

Su Yu didn't smile at him before he left, so he didn't love him anymore and wanted a divorce.

The pastries hadn't been made with care, so Su Yu didn't love him anymore and wanted a divorce.

Su Yu wasn't passionate enough at night, so he didn't love him anymore and wanted a divorce.

At times like these, Su Yu would always smile softly and say, "Xiao Jin, don't be angry. I love you more than anyone."

Xue Liujin thought Su Yu would put up with him forever, until one day Su Yu fell silent for a moment and agreed.

After the divorce, Xue Liujin was utterly miserable, but he was unwilling to swallow his pride. He secretly asked around for news of Su Yu.

One day, a servant told him that Su Yu had become very close to a man who looked a lot like the marquis.

Xue Liujin was furious, yet secretly pleased. Su Yu still had feelings for him. It had only been a month since the divorce, and he couldn't resist finding a substitute.

But the servant continued, "Su Yu and the man have known each other since childhood and are very close. He used to hold an official post elsewhere and only recently returned to the capital."

Xue Liujin froze in place, cold to the bone.

Ah... So he was the substitute.
