One and Only

[A seductive, beautiful uke who flaunts his looks and does as he pleases] x [A cool on the outside, warm on the inside, deeply devoted and reserved seme] After seven years away, Zhu Shen returns from abroad. Pressured by his elders into a blind date, he winds up marrying Zhong Heng by a twist of fate. To him, he'd only crossed paths with Zhong Heng a few times in high school. He never imagined that Zhong Heng had looked up to him day and night, treasuring him in his heart. [On the surface] Zhu Shen: "I heard you used to have someone you couldn't forget." Zhong Heng: "I did." Zhu Shen: "That's nice." Zhong Heng: "It was nice." [But in their hearts] Zhu Shen: "I heard you used to have someone you couldn't forget." Zhong Heng: "I did (you)." Zhu Shen: "(You little... You actually had someone you couldn't forget? You could have someone you couldn't forget? How could you have someone you couldn't forget? Hahaha, you little... ftujvcdf.) That's nice." Zhong Heng gazed at him: "(Not just) nice (you're the best)." "The twists of fate you picked up from the past are only a tiny piece of the iceberg that is my love for you. But if my love is a burden, then I'll stay silent and lock it away forever." Reading guide: 1. Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting. A marriage-first, love-later story with an old-school melodramatic style. 2. The seme's secret crush comes true. Both seme and uke are, at heart, jealous of each other. 3. One-on-one romance, fictional setting, happy ending! Happy ending! Happy ending! Cover art thanks to my dear friend @A Qiao Can't Sleep Bonus chapter posted on Weibo: @Xie Zhaoxi Ya Theme:
