=A sweet story about falling in love after an arranged marriage
Blurb 1
When Xu Xixian was twenty, her life was a complete mess.
First, she found out she was the fake heiress who'd been switched at birth. Then, on her birthday, she got drunk and announced that she was going to sleep with her brother's best friend.
When she opened her eyes again, five years had passed. Xu Xixian was lying in a hospital bed, with a soft, squishy little rice cake curled up in her arms.
Before she could figure out what was going on, the hospital room door opened.
A man in a black coat stood in the doorway, his expression cool and his eyes distant.
Xu Xixian thought he'd come to settle the score, and was about to drop to her knees and beg when the little rice cake in her arms reached out and said softly, “Daddy, Mommy's awake.”
Xu Xixian: ?
Everyone in Jingzhou knew Liang Zhoucheng was hard to deal with.
Cold and taciturn, uninterested in women, the very picture of a man with no sex drive.
He found it annoying when people threw themselves at him, and could spend an entire evening reading documents with his arranged-marriage partner sitting across from him.
Xu Xixian pursued him for a whole year. He turned her down at least six times, and the most intimate thing they'd ever done was when she fell asleep on his shoulder after getting sick.
But now she was being told that not only had she slept with Liang Zhoucheng.
She'd skipped straight to the finish line: three years of marriage, and a two-year-old child.
Didn't she deserve to save face? What happened to him having no sex drive?

After sleeping through five years, Xu Xixian's biggest takeaway was: the sky had fallen.
Not only was she married in her prime, but her husband was Liang Zhoucheng, the very man she'd spent a year pursuing without ever figuring out.
Even worse,
Everyone just assumed they were deeply in love.
There were photos of them celebrating New Year's Eve together on their social media, matching couple's mugs in the cupboard, and even the housekeeper would casually ask, “Are you and your husband having another spat today, Madam?”
Xu Xixian: “...”
Impossible.
How could she still be so love-struck?
After losing her memory, Xu Xixian decided to cut her losses.
She didn't want the husband anymore. As for the child... she'd think about that later.
By day, she carefully studied the divorce agreement. At night, she secretly searched:
“How to end a marriage gracefully”
“Does having a handsome husband lower your chances of getting a divorce?”
“Who usually gets custody of the child?”
But before she could hand over the agreement, Liang Zhoucheng cornered her in the study. His eyes lowered to the divorce papers she was hiding behind her back, and he said coolly:
“Xu Xixian.”
“You sleep with me and run off, leaving your husband and child behind. You're really great at taking responsibility.”
