[Marriage first, love later | Metaphysics | One-on-one, both leads sexually inexperienced]
Lin Qiyue, a top-level celestial master, had known since childhood that her extremely yin fate meant she wouldn't live long.
Then, just before her grandmother died, she found Lin Qiyue a rich husband.
He was the eldest grandson of one of Haicheng's most powerful families. Their fates complemented each other, keeping Lin Qiyue from dying young.
But the day after they got their marriage license, he flew abroad to handle business at a branch company. They didn't see each other again for three years.
Lin Qiyue didn't get the divorce papers she was expecting. Instead, he cared for her like an older brother.
Living like a ghost among the living, she finally found a reason to keep going, so she started tricking him into giving her one affectionate touch every day.
First they held hands, then hugged, and then her mouth accidentally touched somewhere it shouldn't have.
Eventually, it turned into...
Bonus scene
One day, Lin Qiyue dodged a kiss from a certain someone and blinked at him. “Didn't you tell me to think of you as my older brother?”
He replied, “I'm your sweetheart of a brother, and still your brother.”
Note:
1. The story and romance should each make up about half of the book.
2. The male lead is gentle, but only with the heroine.
3. I'll add more if I think of anything...
