Novelist VS CEO | Older man

To repay the Lin family for saving her life when she was a child, Lin Jiayi agrees to marry into the Qi family and help resolve the Lin family's crisis.

Before the wedding, Lin Jiayi hears that President Qi is cold and ruthless, and can cut off your source of income with a single word.

They meet for the first time on the day they register their marriage. The man is tall and handsome, with an air of authority.

"Neither of us chose this marriage. We'll divorce in a year."

"All right." Lin Jiayi agrees calmly on the surface. Inside, inspiration is flowing, and she frantically takes notes. This is a face-slapping male lead! I'll give him a wife-chasing crematorium arc.

-

After the wedding, Qi Shuo and Lin Jiayi agree on three rules:

1. This marriage will last one year. I don't want news of your relationship to get out.

2. Our marriage is a secret, and I hope you won't tell anyone about it.

3. You are not allowed to enter my bedroom or study without permission.

Lin Jiayi agrees again, keeping her inspiration in mind.

Until later...

Qi Shuo pins Lin Jiayi down and kisses her deeply. "Honey, when can we make our relationship public?"

Lin Jiayi opens her notebook of ideas and repeats, word for word, "Our marriage is a secret. We can't tell anyone about it."

If so many people outside weren't eyeing his wife, would he be in such a hurry to make their relationship public?

Thinking about the stupid things he'd said half a year ago, he regrets them immensely. Then he asks, "Then can we be in the study tonight?"

Lin Jiayi dodges his kiss. "I don't think I'm allowed in President Qi's bedroom."

Qi Shuo: ...

* The heroine is not attracted to women either. Her interactions with her friends are entirely normal.

* Both leads seem gentle on the surface, but are extremely possessive underneath.

Beautiful, wooden-headed girl VS sunny, straightforward boy

When Jiang Xunzhi was a child, he came across a fish stranded in a shallow pool. The little fish wanted to live, but no one was willing to keep her.

So a thought took root in his young heart: He would raise that fish.

-

Wen Yu's life, from childhood onward, could be described as "wandering."

Her parents divorced when she was ten, and neither of them wanted her. They agreed that each would raise her for one year.

So they tossed her back and forth like a ball.

At last, when she turned eighteen, her parents were finally free of her.

She began a stable life of study in the city where her parents had abandoned her.

Life in her second year of high school was unhurried, with neither the unfamiliarity of the first year nor the pressure of the final year.

But to Wen Yu, the second year felt both unfamiliar and stressful.

She worked harder than anyone and wanted more than anyone to leave this city.

To make sure she could support herself, she worked part-time on Sundays and sometimes ran errands for her classmates to earn a little spending money.

Then one day, a boy brimming with youthful energy burst into her life.

He said his name was Jiang Xunzhi, and that he wanted to raise a fish.

Wen Yu didn't understand. Her mind held nothing but studying and earning money. "I can go buy one for you, but you'll have to pay me an errand fee."

Only later did she realize that Jiang Xunzhi was just like his name: as broad as a river.

She also learned that the "fish" he had mentioned was Yu, a play on her name.

-

Jiang Xunzhi gets good grades and has a cool personality, but he is different around Wen Yu.

One day in geography class, his desk mate teased him, "In front of Wen Yu, you're a tropical rainforest climate. With the rest of us, you instantly turn into a polar climate."

Jiang Xunzhi corrected him. "It's a temperate monsoon climate."
