Can't Your Love Rival Become Your Wife?

A playboy with a mountain of romantic debts, 0.8 x a stern, aloof auctioneer, 0.2

Yu Chao first met Song Siwan at her ex's wedding. They were both seated at the exes' table, but the groom up on stage was a man.

The bride was drunk and insisted on seeing Yu Chao one more time before the wedding night. Yu Chao refused to go, so the groom had to come and beg her himself.

In the newlyweds' room, after dodging another attempt by the bride to kiss her, Yu Chao calmly asked, "That gorgeous woman in the black shirt, with every button done up to the top, is your ex too?"

"You mean Song Siwan? I was her first love." Completely drunk, the bride started speaking without thinking. "She's perfect in every way, except she's not passionate enough in bed. It's like she's frigid. Don't even think about going after her. The Song family is just as well-off as your Yu family. If I hadn't been fawning over her since preschool, how could I have won over that heiress?"

After spending a long time in her post-orgasmic haze, Yu Chao had found a new purpose.

The clueless playboy, who knew nothing about antiques, began frequenting the auction houses where Song Siwan worked.

After watching this playboy waste money on countless overpriced lots just to spite other bidders, Song Siwan finally softened toward her, giving Yu Chao an opening.

The bride had rejected Song Siwan because of what she was like in bed, and was infatuated with Yu Chao for the same reason.

Somehow, their negatives canceled out, and their relationship made significant progress in bed.

Song Siwan's apparent frigidity seemed to have been cured.

But even a doctor with excellent bedside manner couldn't earn herself a title.

Yu Chao had countless exes clamoring to rekindle their romance with her, but she suddenly became a paragon of virtue, often claiming she had a particular aversion to romantic entanglements. In the end, she became a laughingstock in their social circle.

The night Song Siwan returned from abroad, the playboy eagerly went right back to being her human pillow.

But Song Siwan didn't want her.

Yu Chao started living chastely and learning all about the true meaning of Platonic love.

Just when she thought she could remain in a Platonic relationship with Song Siwan until the end of her days, one night, with the mood just right, Song Siwan gave her a casual glance, and Yu Chao threw the whole idea of Platonic love, along with her dignity, into the trash downstairs.

She confirmed that she was a carnivore. No amount of vegetarian food could change her ingrained taste for meat.

Please note: As the blurb says, but for both of them, the first time in the true sense of the word is with each other.

Theme: Self-reliance and inner strength.
