Crybaby × fake gentleman

Xu Xingzhou often mentions her childhood sweetheart.

She brings him up at meals.

She brings him up while playing games.

She even compares every guy who hits on her at mixers to him, secretly in her head.

One day, her roommate finally gives in to her curiosity and asks, "Xingzhou, where is your childhood sweetheart? Is he far away? How come he never comes to see you?"

"I don't know."

Xu Xingzhou sniffles. "If he ever comes back, I'm definitely not talking to him."

Later, during an interview for a profile, her childhood sweetheart really does appear before her. Xu Xingzhou holds back her tears, not daring to turn and walk away.

She reads from her script, her voice steady. Only the final question makes her inexplicably nervous.

"Mr. Qin Mobei... is there someone you like?"

"Yes." He raises his eyes, his gaze blazing.

"I've liked her for a long time."

How long?

Probably from as far back as he can remember, all the way through his life.

- Childhood sweethearts, reunited after a long separation

- No romance or intimate scenes before adulthood

Jiang Lueyi has been willful and spoiled since childhood, dazzling and flamboyant. By the time her family finally found someone willing to marry her in an arranged match, all her peers had already tied the knot.

The man is a rising star in the business world: refined and noble, and especially suited to Jiang Lueyi's taste.

For the sake of a harmonious married life, Jiang Lueyi decides she must give him a warning.

"I have a bad temper. I can't cook or make soup, and I definitely won't do housework."

"Oh? Then what can you do?"

"Warm the bed."

Jiang Lueyi feels a little embarrassed after saying it. The word "joking" is almost at her lips when Shen Chuli raises an eyebrow, looking... rather pleased?

The two hit it off, got their marriage license as quickly as possible, and had a blissfully sweet married life.

One day, Jiang Lueyi accidentally breaks the photo frame in his study. When she sees the photo that fell out, she finally realizes that Shen Chuli is actually a two-timing bastard.

Miss Jiang's temper flares, and she rages, "Shen Chuli, we're getting divorced, right now, this instant!"
