My Flash Marriage Partner Has Been Plotting to Win Me Over

Quiet, secretly passionate x sweet and innocent on the surface, a master of seduction

A mutual crush that comes true vs. marriage first, love later. A short, purely sweet story

[Blurb]

Jiang Shan is vain, shallow, lustful, and materialistic. Since childhood, she has wanted the most gorgeous dresses, the sparkliest necklaces, and a life of glamour, luxury, and indulgence.

Unfortunately, her family fell on hard times. She sold all her jewelry, worked day and night, and finally managed to keep her purebred puppy.

When she reached marriageable age, Jiang Shan started going on blind dates. She had high standards and plenty of pride, so every date fell through.

At last, in a small city, she unexpectedly met someone who made her heart flutter.

A beautiful woman with long, straight black hair, fair skin, and gold-rimmed glasses. Her shirt was buttoned neatly to the very top.

A beauty mark beneath her eye, exactly the kind of figure Jiang Shan loved to draw in explicit art.

“Hello, my name is Yan Ci.” The woman's voice was slightly hoarse, her manner calm and composed.

She must sound lovely when she pants.

The matchmaker said Yan Ci was a programmer at a major tech company, some kind of VP.

Jiang Shan thought, in her very materialistic way, that they were roughly a match in appearance, education, job, income, and social status. A perfect match.

The only drawback was that Yan Ci seemed too dull. Things might not go well in bed.

But Jiang Shan didn't mind. She could always take care of herself while looking at that face.

After three dates, just before the holiday ended, they picked an auspicious day and got married in a whirlwind.

After the wedding, their life, which Jiang Shan had expected to be as dull as still water, turned out to be explosive.

First, she learned that VP wasn't some programmer's jargon. It meant vice president of technology.

Yan Ci, whom she'd assumed came from an ordinary family, had assets close to a hundred million. She could buy whatever she wanted, and they hadn't even signed a prenuptial agreement.

Second, Yan Ci, who seemed dull and cold on the outside, was actually... and had an exceptional sense of service. On their honeymoon on an island, Jiang Shan couldn't get out of bed for a single day.

Finally, why did Yan Ci's phone have that super obscure private server for the game Jiang Shan had uninstalled five years ago?

When Yan Ci was in college, she created a little dating sim.

Not long after it went live, a bug appeared in the game's AI voice chat. Yan Ci took the place of one of the romance options and chatted online with the player behind the screen.

The player, whose username was “Little Fan,” was lively and bold. She bought every bundle in the game, but had no interest in playing through the story or looking at the character cards. Instead, she chatted with Yan Ci every day.

They talked about life's problems, new designer bags, the explicit art she'd been drawing, and the strange kinks she'd dreamed about the night before.

Yan Ci tried her best to reply to every message, but Little Fan called her “little bot” and said no wonder the game was so obscure when she couldn't even call someone “wife.”

Yan Ci hesitated, then typed: Wife.

Little Fan: So obedient? Show me the special thigh-highs CG. [beckons]

After two months of online chatting, Yan Ci got used to calling her “wife.” She secretly added a dating feature, then launched a marriage system.

But Little Fan suddenly uninstalled the game.

Five years later, Yan Ci went on a blind date and met a beautiful woman named Jiang Shan.
