[Beautiful, strong, tragic heroine & a hero who is strong and cold at first, then difficult and unhinged later]

[Heroine's perspective]

At eighteen, Chen Bai was admitted to the Awakened Academy with the lowest score. She began taking on one high-risk mission after another. Her two years at the academy were miserable, and she nearly died several times.

Three years later, she has become the top mechanic in the Northern Desert. Many people like and admire her, and those painful memories from her youth seem like nothing more than a dream.

A marriage alliance binds her to Gu Qingchen. Fortunately, it will last only three years. Back when they attended the Awakened Academy, he already couldn't stand her. Later, he only got worse. Wherever she went, she would often see him, along with the gaze he was making less and less effort to hide.

During their two years as students, all she knew was that he was extremely skilled at solo combat, very cold, and, oh, that he couldn't stand her. She didn't know he was also a good actor. For those three years of their marriage alliance, he played the role of her partner to perfection.

One day, as she watched the man peeling a thorny fruit for her, she couldn't help asking, "Doesn't it wear you out, acting like this every day?"

[Hero's perspective]

Gu Qingchen is a heaven-blessed prodigy, the top armored infantryman in Jiangling.

When he first met Chen Bai, he wanted to kill her. During their two years at school, he thought she was ruthless, calculating, and only cared about money. Yet at some point, he found himself unable to keep his eyes off her. Only later did he realize what a "soft" person she was. Once he understood his feelings, he fell in love with her! But he had no suitable relationship with her, and they couldn't even be called friends, just classmates.

Fortunately, he managed to secure a marriage alliance for himself. Everyone said he was being selfless, but only he knew he was serious. He did everything a partner was supposed to do.

People often praised him: "You act so well, it's incredibly convincing!"

One day, as he peeled a thorny fruit for Chen Bai, she asked, "Doesn't it wear you out, acting like this every day?"

Gu Qingchen: "..."

A wedding only he took seriously, and an endless stream of romantic rivals.

There are too many rivals, each crazier and more ruthless than the last. Gu Qingchen keeps a cool expression, but inside he's already anxious and restless, unable to sleep night after night. He spends all day thinking about how to break through the competition, but the only advantage he can claim is being her husband in name, and even that will expire in six months.

Content warning: The heroine disguises herself as a man early in the story.

Theme: Keep making yourself stronger in the face of adversity
