[I'll fill in this one first. I originally planned to write both at once, but realized the contrast was a bit too much, so I'm reluctantly putting the other one aside...]
The Xu family's company is in crisis. Xu Yan, a young master who spends his time partying and indulging himself, wakes up one day to find his mother has packed him off to marry Zhou Tinghuan, the head of the Zhou family.
Before the wedding, his mother warned him: "Mr. Zhou is a traditional man. He can't stand your usual antics. Once you're married, you absolutely have to behave!"
Xu Yan agreed.
The good news: His husband is incredibly handsome and exactly Xu Yan's type. He's stiff and has no sense of fun, but Xu Yan is willing to put up with that for his face and figure.
The bad news: His husband is the aloof "male model" he met by a pool at a party a few years ago. Back then, Xu Yan had relentlessly flirted with and harassed him, and even tried to keep him as a lover!
Xu Yan: Oh, great. I'm doomed.
To make sure married life went smoothly, Xu Yan could only suppress his lust with a heavy heart and repeatedly assure Zhou Tinghuan that he'd changed his ways and turned over a new leaf. He promised not to do anything inappropriate:
When Zhou Tinghuan fell asleep on the sofa, he wouldn't steal a kiss.
When Zhou Tinghuan came out of the bathroom bare-chested, he wouldn't stare.
When Zhou Tinghuan got drunk and his clothes came undone, he absolutely wouldn't touch him!

Zhou Tinghuan had been feeling frustrated lately.
He'd done his best to seduce Xu Yan using all the tricks he learned online. So why was Xu Yan still completely unmoved?
*
Later, an accident left Xu Yan with amnesia. He forgot not only that his family was on the verge of bankruptcy, but also that he was already married.
He opened his eyes in the hospital bed and saw a handsome man keeping vigil beside him, still wearing the same clothes. Tears of emotion trickled from the corner of his mouth. "I remember you. You're the one from the pool! Have you finally come around? Are you willing to be my lover now?!"
In the hospital room, Zhou Tinghuan's friend and assistant: O.0!
Xu Yan's parents: O△O!!
It's over. That brat is going to get dumped by a furious Zhou Tinghuan!!!

But to everyone's astonishment, Zhou Tinghuan neither got angry nor filed for divorce. Instead, he kept his straight, composed expression and solemnly said, "Mm."
A proud, scheming top who's proper on the outside, and a cheerful little sunshine bottom who's a shameless show-off but only pretends to be a playboy
