Also known as: #Training the Old-Fashioned Man into a Little Sweetheart Husband
Shi Jun has lived in luxury for twenty-four years, the darling of everyone around her. She’s spoiled, loves beauty and fun, and has never lost.
There are plenty of people who can’t stand how pampered and fussy she is. But because of the Shi family, they can only grit their teeth with envy and grovel at the young heiress’s feet.
The young heiress gets whatever she says and wants whatever she asks for, except… that marriage contract.
Her grandfather wants to marry her off to Beijing, to a complete stranger she has never met.
Though her grandfather praises the man to the skies, Shi Jun is still entirely unwilling.
She listlessly grumbles to her girlfriends, “Men who are successful at a young age, always so proper, and know nothing except how to work are the most boring. They can’t even compare to Bailey’s toes.”
“Exactly! Bailey’s so handsome!”
“He’s handsome and knows how to make you happy. What does Song Zhiheng have that could possibly beat him?”
Shi Jun and her girlfriends burst into laughter, not knowing that the boring man is sitting just behind the screen, his clear, serene eyes giving nothing away.
He silently repeats Bailey’s name three times.
-
It turns out that Song Zhiheng fits Shi Jun’s stereotype perfectly.
Serious and steady, old-fashioned and boring, more behind the times than a terracotta warrior that’s been asleep for half a year.
He goes to bed at ten and gets up at six without fail, even more old-fashioned than her grandfather.
No matter how much she tosses and turns beside him, Song Zhiheng remains unmoved. She does her thing, and he sleeps.
One day, Shi Jun “accidentally” drags a fingernail across his chest, and the man’s muscles instantly tense.
It’s only when she’s pinned firmly beneath him that Shi Jun realizes something is wrong. “Song Zhiheng! You lied! What kind of man pretends to be asleep?”
Song Zhiheng stays outwardly composed, but his voice is hoarse. “If I could still sleep with you in my bed, I’d be even less of a man.”
“If you can’t sleep, we can do something else.”
“…What?”
Song Zhiheng: “Fulfill our marital duties.”
-
Song Zhiheng doesn’t understand a lot of things about Shi Jun, such as her long, sharp, complicated nails, which are outrageously extravagant.
At first, he only wanted to fulfill his duty and see the arranged marriage through. Later, he discovers he loves the feeling of the woman screaming as she scratches bloody marks into the muscles of his back.
His serene, unworldly demeanor is gone, and his celibacy is a thing of the past.
He falls in love with her bright, passionate nature,
and all her harmless little quirks.
Including her little beagle, Bailey.
