[My new marriage-first, love-later novel, Shuo Xia, is now underway. Please add it to your collection~]
On her first day transferring to No. 2 High School, Meng Yu met the legendary big shot Pei Mo.
The young man was tall and graceful, with dark eyes whose corners tilted up slightly and thin lips that always curled with a look of fatigue. His plain school uniform seemed to come alive on him.
Everyone said Pei Mo was unruly and obsessive, and didn't care about anyone.
He had a face people would clamor to see, yet no one dared take a step toward him.
After Pei Mo helped Meng Yu, intentionally or otherwise, again and again, she started leaving milk in all kinds of flavors and sticky notes in all kinds of colors on his desk each day to thank him.
The boy raised an eyebrow and sneered, but still couldn't bring himself to throw them away.
He could laugh off everyone's slander, but seeing fear in Meng Yu's eyes pierced his heart like a needle.
Pei Mo looked at the girl in front of him, her eyes red at the corners with fright, sighed inwardly, and turned to leave.
A small hand caught the hem of his clothes.
"Pei Mo, here's a little soft candy for you. Please don't be mean to me, okay?"
The boy turned to look at the brightly colored candy, almost painfully vivid against the girl's pale, delicate palm.
He slowly reached out and took it, his blood surging as he held back his feelings.
"Okay."
Years later, Pei Mo had settled everything and returned to this city with enough power and status to shield her from every storm.
Meng Yu had overcome her social anxiety and become a famous kunqu opera dan performer, celebrated throughout the entertainment industry.
Pei Mo pressed the young woman, fresh off the stage, against the dressing table backstage. His voice was low and restrained.
"Back then, I accepted one piece of candy from you, but you took my whole heart."
"How are you going to make it up to me?"
The young woman looked up and smiled sweetly and obediently, wrapping both arms around his neck. "Then I'll give myself to you. Do you want me?"
All of Pei Mo's restraint shattered in an instant.
Meng Yu would never know that she had given him one piece of candy, while he had given her his whole heart.

Blurb: Marriage first, love later | Instinctive attraction | Five-year age gap | Urban fairy tale
Sweet, milky-bun comic artist × cold-faced, secretly smug, cocky CEO
1. Xia Zhining is the good girl in the eyes of her teachers and parents, yet she proposes to a man she has only met three times.
The first time is at the end of a comic signing. A man in the corner is tall, wearing a black windbreaker and black baseball cap, with even better proportions than the standee beside him.
She mistakes him for a fan who's too shy to line up for an autograph, so she draws him a personalized signature and slips it into his hand.
The second time, Xia Zhining is overwhelmed by her parents nagging her to get married. Jokingly, she asks her cat to find her someone to marry. The cat, which had been eating with its head down, suddenly runs off and ducks under a black Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
She calls the number on the car window, and a few minutes later the owner appears. Xia Zhining is surprised.
"It's you."
The third time, her dad tricks her into a blind date. When her date makes rude remarks and gets handsy, the man steps in to avenge her.
Just as he is about to leave, Xia Zhining grabs his sleeve, summoning all her courage.
"Sir, would you like to go on a blind date with me? And while we're at it..."
"Get married."
2. The current head of the Jiang Group took control and immediately reorganized the company with an iron fist. Rumor has it he is cold-blooded, unfeeling, dangerous, and hostile to strangers. He's also an exceptionally work-obsessed workaholic.
Only after getting their marriage certificate does Xia Zhining learn that her new husband, a cool, cocky, broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted walking hormone bomb, is none other than the big bad wolf Jiang Yanshuo.
She secretly drafts a divorce agreement and puts it away. Once their contract ends, she'll divorce him.
After they marry, she abides by the contract, keeps to herself, and never crosses the line.
But Jiang Yanshuo comes home every day. Every morning when she opens her eyes, she sees his muscles rippling with vitality, water droplets tracing the grooves between them before disappearing from view.
She forces her pounding heart to calm down and turns all her lustful thoughts into inspiration for her new comic, creating one intense scene after another. The comic becomes a huge hit.
3. On the day their contract expires, she takes the divorce agreement to his study. Before she can say a word, she spots familiar images and familiar comments on Jiang Yanshuo's computer.
[I want to see our precious girl and the big bad wolf act out all kinds of steamy adventures!!]
Xia Zhining's face turns scarlet. She turns to run, but Jiang Yanshuo scoops her up and sits her on the desk, pinning the divorce agreement underneath her.
"Our fans want to see it, so we should give them what they want. How about we try out every scene you drew? What do you say, honey?"
In the end, the words on the divorce agreement blur and run, soaked through. Xia Zhining no longer has the strength to bring up divorce.
Theme: Promote traditional opera culture.
Although it is very interesting, each chapter does not continue the content of the previous chapter, which makes me a little distracted~ahhhhh?
The progress is really slow. I've already received my certificate and it's already episode 8, but I still haven't started driving properly? Is Pei Mo suffocated?
Nice! I loved it so much when I was a kid!
Sprinkle flowers╰(*?`*)╯
Ahhhhh, when I was a kid!
Is the content of Extra 23/24 wrong?
What did you say about the next chapter? ? ?
... Hey, if you don't want the amnesia plot, you don't have to
Which article is Ni Rui the protagonist of?
