Her Sweetness Is His Addiction! [Marriage Before Love]

[On the surface, a laid-back wine connoisseur, but actually a rebellious, flirtatious female lead VS on the surface, an emotionally clueless man in power, but actually a man who becomes a lovesick fool] To ruin her blind date, Xu Xin went hunting for a one-night stand at a bar the evening before, hoping to find a handsome man to spend the night with. At the bar, she happened to hear a man looking for a partner for a marriage of convenience. They'd both get a generous payout when the contract ended. Xu Xin put everything on the line and struck up a conversation: "How convenient. I'm also in need of a temporary husband." They hit it off immediately and went to the hotel Xu Xin had booked in advance. She deliberately teased him and clung to him, but he ruined the mood by discussing the contract's fine print... After the wedding, Xiao Yilin played the part of a cold, abstinent man who kept women at arm's length. He thought he'd married a sensible, obedient contractual wife, but then... On the night they registered their marriage, she straddled his lap and insisted on sharing a wedding toast. After buying wedding rings, she not only insisted he put hers on her finger, but also blocked his way and demanded a kiss as a present. She was always provoking and flirting with him for no reason, certain he wouldn't touch her. Who knew he'd grab her slender waist, pin her against the door, and kiss her passionately? She thought theirs would be a loveless arrangement, but she gradually fell under the spell of his tenderness. Only later did she learn that their first chance encounter had been a trap he'd laid after a long period of careful planning... - Six months earlier, one drink had let Xiao Yilin taste again. Though it was sour and hard to bear, it was the only taste he craved. After signing the contract, he kept reminding her, "We're really married." After their wedding, he cherished her and stood up for her in everything. He showered her with the utmost affection, but never crossed the line: they slept in separate rooms. Until one day, their hearts raced in a sudden collision, and his lips brushed her soft ones. Her sweet lips left him completely captivated. Her sweetness was not only the finest delicacy in his world, but also an addiction he couldn't, and didn't want to, kick! * [Reading Guide] * At the beginning, the leads are complete strangers. The male lead has been planning this for a long time, but only knew the female lead's name; he meets her for the first time at the start of the story. * The male lead has an unusual sense of taste.

The leads fall in love after marriage.
