She's Sweet, Soft, and Adorable

You Xiaoxiao was mortified...

You Xiaoxiao had a crush on her best friend Feng Danyang's boyfriend...

You Xiaoxiao dropped her diary, filled with her secret thoughts about her crush, in the car of her best friend's older brother, Feng Jiayun...

Every day, You Xiaoxiao was on edge, waiting for Feng Jiayun to come and settle the score.

One day, Feng Jiayun really did show up, and returned the diary to her.

Only, all her secrets had been torn out...

All that was left was the cover.

You Xiaoxiao: You didn't need to give it back like this.

You Xiaoxiao thought that was the end of it, but some time later, Feng Jiayun came to see her again.

This time, it wasn't about the diary, and he wasn't there to avenge his younger sister. Instead... he asked her to be his girlfriend.

You Xiaoxiao trembled. "Mr. Feng, I don't like your almost-brother-in-law anymore. There's really no need to do this."

Feng Jiayun smiled faintly and slid a new notebook toward her. "Here's your chance to love me openly."

After Feng Jiayun and You Xiaoxiao got married, he played the role of her father, mother, older brother, and husband...

Before they married, everyone who knew Feng Jiayun tried to talk him out of it. "You should find a woman who's more virtuous and considerate. If you marry her, it'll be like marrying her whole family."

Feng Jiayun was happy as could be. He gave a lazy smile. "You don't know a damn thing."

She's sweet and gentle, with a cute smile. You'd only know if you tried her for yourself.

This is the next story I'm planning to write.

The Tan family and the Gu family were set to join forces through marriage. But the Tan family's daughter was already pregnant with another man's child, and their happy occasion was about to become a disaster.

Then someone reminded the head of the Tan family, "Don't you have another daughter?"

And so Tan Chuxin, the illegitimate daughter the Tan family had raised outside the household, was brought in at the last minute to take her sister's place and marry the Gu family's third son, Gu Zi'ang.

On their wedding night, Gu Zi'ang didn't come home all night.

The second night, Gu Zi'ang didn't come home all night.

When it was time to visit her family three days later, Gu Zi'ang was dragged out of a lover's arms, a conspicuous lipstick mark on his neck.

Tan Chuxin was gracious and gave him face, leaning against Gu Zi'ang with a gentle, charming air and taking all the teasing and jokes in stride.

After they returned home that day, Tan Chuxin had a long talk with Gu Zi'ang. "I know you have someone you love, and I'm not the one you wanted to marry. Our marriage will last a year. After that, we'll publicly announce that we're separating because we're incompatible." When she finished, Tan Chuxin frowned at the man across from her, who failed to satisfy her in every way. "What do you think?"

Gu Zi'ang tapped his fingers on the table, looking pleased. "Agreed."

And then...

During their year of marriage, Gu Zi'ang saw his wife three times in total.

Their wedding anniversary was the day their one-year contract expired.

To convince both sets of parents that their marriage really wasn't working, they had a big fight, then happily went to get their divorce papers.

A friend threw Gu Zi'ang a bachelor party. During the party, someone asked him, "What was being married like?"

"Didn't feel like anything."

"What about getting divorced? Must've been thrilled."

"Didn't feel like anything."

His friend teased him. "Come on, you can admit it."

Gu Zi'ang answered honestly. "I never even held my wife's hand. What was I supposed to feel?"

His friend stared at him in shock. "You didn't even remember what your wife... no, your ex-wife looked like, did you?"

"..." Not quite. Her lips were pretty soft.

His friend took out his phone and pulled up a post. "Look, now that she's escaped the hell of being with you, your ex-wife is celebrating her freedom."

In the photo, Tan Chuxin's smile was bright and beautiful.

Gu Zi'ang pulled out his own phone and scrolled back and forth, only to discover... his ex-wife had blocked him.

It left a sour taste in Gu Zi'ang's mouth. He knew he was a piece of work, but he hadn't expected to meet someone even cooler than he was.

Tan Chuxin kept three things firmly in mind: she was the Tan family's illegitimate daughter; she married Gu Zi'ang because the Gu family had settled for her; and Gu Zi'ang didn't love her.

So... to hell with it.

Tan Chuxin was grateful to Gu Zi'ang for leaving her "untouched" during their year of marriage.

During that year, she filled a little notebook in her heart with Gu Zi'ang's "crimes."

A groveling ex-husband's redemption arc?

Not enough.

Just wait until he's put through hell.
