Thank you~ [1] To escape her stepmother's control once and for all, Chen Zhinuo accepted Lin Yuguang's proposal. But on the day of their engagement, her fiancé casually skipped the event so he could personally accompany her stepsister. His friend: "Bro, watch out. Your future sister-in-law might break up with you." Lin Yuguang: "Break up? As if she'd have the nerve to leave me." His friend: "True. In Hua'an City, who else could offer better prospects than President Lu of Tiancheng Group?" But a few days later, at a banquet, Chen Zhinuo accidentally ended up in the room of Lu Chengxiao, chairman of Tiancheng Group. [2] The first time Lu Chengxiao saw Chen Zhinuo was by the pool at his villa. The girl, barely in her twenties, wore a modest swimsuit and splashed around with a float ring. Timidly following her best friend, she greeted him with, "Hello, Uncle." The man's eyes practically popped out of his head. Why hug a stuffed toy when she could hug him instead? On the night of the banquet, the girl he hadn't seen in two years knocked on his door and begged him to save her. A month later, Chen Zhinuo unexpectedly married Lu Chengxiao, chairman of Tiancheng Group, a man countless socialites in Hua'an City could only dream of marrying. [3] After her unexpected marriage, Chen Zhinuo found a married-first, love-later novel to cram for the role of a wife. Then she realized her husband was nothing like the male lead in the book. In the novel, the male lead misses his wedding. Lu Chengxiao, on the other hand, indulges her every day as they pick out wedding dresses. In the novel, the male lead stays out all night and disappears without a trace. Lu Chengxiao comes home early every day, and when he goes to work, he wishes he could tuck her under his arm and bring her along. He stuffs cards into her hands and urges her to spend freely. He helps her study when she can't understand her lessons, revises her messy designs, and wants to dress her himself. He even wants to feed her every bite. Her stepsister, jealous, resorts to the same old trick and tearfully accuses Chen Zhinuo of throwing porridge at her. Lu Chengxiao takes his wife's wrist and inspects it carefully. "Did she burn you?" Chen Zhinuo, who had instinctively braced herself for a scolding: "?" Her stepsister and former fiancé: "?? Weren't they supposed to fall apart within six months and have her thrown out by the wealthy family?" This novel is also known as [A Wealthy Husband Sent from Heaven] [My CEO Husband Tutors Me] [How on Earth Do I Spend All This Money?] [My Married-First, Love-Later Husband Personally Teaches Me How to Face-Slap My Ex-Fiancé, Spot My Two-Faced Stepsister, and Tear Apart Her, Her Friends, and Her Entire Family] Content warnings: 1. The male supporting character's regret goes straight to the grave. The male lead gets lucky early on, but later has to pursue her properly. 2. Married first, love later, with an age gap and an old-school melodramatic feel. 3. The pregnancy is a misunderstanding. Read with caution if that bothers you. My next novel, Just You, is coming soon. Please add it to your favorites~ Thank you! [Mutual Pining / Healing / Reunited After Years Apart / Married First, Love Later] Bad-boy heartthrob x gentle, well-behaved girl Architect x design intern assistant [1] When she first met Chen Ji, he was a rebellious, unruly young man, the only son of a prestigious Beilin family envied by countless people. Yet he stayed behind in a sprawling old mansion in a small town, restoring its carved beams and pillars, smoking and drinking through one dark day after another. In a seaside town of ancient architecture, where every upturned eave and crossed roof beam seemed to hold a story, a wealthy young woman from the city arrived one summer to recuperate and stay with Chen Ji's family. Zhou Fu was sweet and gentle. At first, she often urged him, "You should study hard. Then one day, you can leave this place." Chen Ji frowned impatiently. "Get lost. Quit bothering me." But just a few months later, the spoiled young man was learning to make medicinal soup himself, sitting by Zhou Fu's bedside and patiently feeding it to her, one spoonful at a time. On the eve of the girl's return home, Chen Ji asked with a grim face, "Where are you going?" Zhou Fu answered softly, "Back to Beilin." "Is Beilin far?" "Yes." "Will you come back?" "Probably not..." That day, the young man personally saw her onto the boat that would take her away from him. [2] When they met again, Chen Ji had become an untouchable legend in the architecture world, and Zhou Fu's direct supervisor at her internship. He didn't even look up at her once during the entire interview. The young woman felt her eyes sting. He must have forgotten her long ago. But just a few nights later, the man rescued Zhou Fu from a group of thugs near her shared rental apartment. With a grim expression, he packed up her belongings that very night and brought her, luggage and all, to what he called the "employee dormitory": his home. Zhou Fu never imagined that Chen Ji would be the man she was to marry for the sake of an arranged union. On the day they registered their marriage, she asked, "What can I do for you? I can handle hardship." The man simply replied, "I don't want you to suffer. I just want you to be my wife." Later, at a banquet, the legendary architecture mogul Chen Ji stood beside the little-known intern Zhou Fu, tenderly and attentively holding a bowl of medicinal soup for her. The young woman pouted, looking both hurt and spoiled. "You said you didn't want me to suffer." The man gently coaxed her. "Just one last sip, then you can have some candy." - If you don't come back, I'll come find you. - What you thought was a chance encounter was the only thing I ever meticulously planned in my life. 1. A few school-life memories early on, but mainly a sweet urban workplace romance after marriage. 2. The preservation of ancient timber architecture and material culture. Theme: The everyday life of a girl doted on by a rich young heir.
