Reserved powerbroker VS radiant actress
Marriage first, love later | Rekindled romance | Long-planned scheme
At twenty-four, Shu He was at the peak of her acting career, when her elders arranged a marriage of convenience for her.
Jin Jue was renowned in their circles for his noble bearing and refined good looks. At a young age, he had become an executive director of a corporate group and its true power behind the scenes.
After they married, they spent little time together. They seemed blissfully in love, and Jin Jue pampered her so openly that everyone knew about it.
Everyone said they were truly made for each other.
Shu He thought it would be nice if the two of them weren't still living like amicable roommates after two years of marriage.
-
The first time Shu He met Jin Jue was on a rainy night in high school.
As she stood at the school gate, wondering whether to brave the rain, Jin Jue, wearing a white school uniform and carrying a backpack, offered her an umbrella.
Jin Jue always seemed to wear the same expression, as if nothing could ever ruffle him.
So she made it her mission to tease him.
She hoped to see his expressions change because of her, to watch him frown at her pranks and lose his composure when she flirted with him...
Until the day Jin Jue graduated from high school, when he grabbed her wrist, his face dark and his voice low, almost dangerous. “Are you like this with everyone?”
-
One day, a rumor surfaced online that Shu He and Jin Jue were about to get divorced.
On a stormy night, Shu He's white dress was soaked through. A pair of black leather shoes appeared before her, and Jin Jue held an umbrella over her. His eyes were unfathomable. “Why are you crying?”
He raised a hand and gently wiped away the tear at the corner of her eye. “Get in the car. I'll take you home.”
That night, Shu He firmly hooked her arms around his neck and asked, each word clear and deliberate, “Jin Jue, I'm only asking you this once. How do you really feel about me?”
Jin Jue's lips curled into an amused smile. His voice was husky as he silenced the rest of her words with a kiss.
“...What do you think our engagement was based on?”

Tsundere cool guy VS sweet, well-behaved girl
Childhood friends | Raising fluffy pets | Food | Veterinarian VS cat cafe owner
When Le Shan was little, a new family moved in next door.
The boy next door's older brother didn't talk much. He always held his chin high when he looked at her, as if he thought he was better than everyone else.
But Le Shan liked him! She thought everything about him was wonderful, especially the way he treated her!
He walked her to and from school, helped her with her homework, and played house with her, pretending to be the mom and dad. Everyone said she was like his little shadow...
A friend told her that people like them were called childhood friends.
-
Lately, a new guy had been spending time with Le Shan. He gently helped her run the cat cafe, and whenever she thanked him, he blushed shyly.
Shi Jinzhou's usual smiling eyes were now dark as he glared at the man whose interest in Le Shan was obvious to everyone.
Unfortunately, his childhood sweetheart was completely oblivious.
He scoffed. “Looks like you two are getting along great. We used to be so close we could share a pair of pants, but now that you've found someone new, I won't get in your way.”
Before Le Shan could stop him, he was gone.
But it wasn't long before she saw Shi Jinzhou come back.
At mealtime, the guy wanted to tie up her hair, but Shi Jinzhou pulled a hair tie from his pocket first. “Sorry, I used to do that for her ^^.”
While shopping, the guy reached for her bags, but Shi Jinzhou snatched them first. “Sorry, I'm so used to doing this that I can't change overnight ^^.”
-
Shi Jinzhou sabotaged every romance Le Shan had before it could even begin.
She was about to end things with her childhood friend. “Why are you always so keen to chase away everyone who likes me?”
Shi Jinzhou, who always looked down his nose at everyone, grabbed her hand, suddenly a different person from usual, and pleaded, “Then look at me. I like you too.”
Le Shan was stunned. “Aren't we... childhood friends?!”
In the middle of the night, she received a message from Shi Jinzhou:
Adorable childhood friend ^^: “I was too impatient. You don't have to give me an answer. Just pretend it never happened. We can keep things between us the way they were before.”
When Le Shan saw the message, she pictured the meme of the old man looking at his phone on the subway. She convinced herself she must have stayed up too late and started hallucinating!
An hour later, another message from Shi Jinzhou popped up:
Adorable childhood friend ^^: “I'll kill myself so you can see.”
