On the Brink of Desire on Our Wedding Night

Marriage first, love later | Instinctive attraction | Five-year age gap

Sweet, demure comic artist with a hidden edge x cold, arrogant, high-drive powerhouse

1. Tricked into a blind date, Xia Zhining proposed to a man she had met only three times.

Beneath the neon lights, the man's features were cold and sharp, and his whole body radiated a wild, dangerous allure.

He stayed silent. Thinking he had rejected her, she stood up in embarrassment.

But he pulled her back down, trapping her between his muscular thighs, and spoke nonchalantly.

"Where are you going?"

"Tomorrow morning at eight thirty. We'll register our marriage."

Only after they got their marriage certificate did Xia Zhining learn that he was her father's boss.

The top power player in Beijing's elite circles, Jiang Yanshuo, the current head of the Jiang Group, rumored to be cold-blooded and unfeeling.

And she was just a comic artist who had graduated a year ago.

They were worlds apart.

After the wedding, she honored the contract and kept to herself.

They wouldn't show up together, and she wouldn't cross the line.

2. Xia Zhining attended an event as a popular comic artist, but because Jiang Yanshuo had kept her up all morning, she accidentally wore the wrong ring in her haste.

The event had barely started when people dug up the fact that her ring was an ultra-luxury, limited-edition piece worth ten billion yuan, with only one in existence worldwide.

The story immediately shot to the top of the trending topics. People said there was no way she could afford a ring that expensive and that she must have used some special means to get it. Maybe even her success as a comic artist came from shady dealings.

At that moment, Jiang Yanshuo gave his first personal interview.

"As a devoted fan of Teacher Youqian, I won't allow anyone to disparage her talent. As for the ring..."

"I bought it for my wife. Any objections?"

3. On the day their contract expired, Xia Zhining took the divorce papers to the study. Before she could say a word, she saw Jiang Yanshuo thoroughly engrossed in her comic and its comments section.

[I want to see our precious girl and the big bad wolf go on all kinds of steamy adventures!!]

Xia Zhining's face turned bright red. She turned to make a run for it, but Jiang Yanshuo swept her up and placed her on the desk, pinning the divorce papers beneath her.

"The fans want to see it, so we should give them what they want. How about we try every scene you drew, sweetheart?"

By the time the writing on the divorce papers had been soaked and blurred, Xia Zhining no longer had the strength to bring up divorce.

Gentle, sweet dance-theater actress younger sister x cold-faced, emotionally unraveling archer older brother

1. Yin Duli sprained her ankle while dancing, and the doctor ordered her to stay home and rest for a month.

But her boyfriend was away on a business trip, while her mother and new husband had gone abroad for their honeymoon. She had no choice but to hop around the house on crutches.

That evening, her mother called. "Duli, I've found someone to look after you. He's Uncle Bian's son."

Yin Duli objected. She'd rather hire a female caregiver than have a strange man look after her, but her mother said,

"But Uncle Bian's son says he knows you. He should be here soon."

The front door opened, and Yin Duli turned around.

The man wore a black jacket. He was tall and imposing, with sharp, cold features and an intimidating air.

Uncle Bian's son was him?!

The ex-boyfriend she had dumped without warning in high school.

Bian Lin.

Bian Lin walked over, and she sank onto the sofa.

Her mother's voice came through the phone, flowing between the two of them. "Just call him big brother."

Without thinking, she called him by the name she remembered. "Big... brother."

Bian Lin wrapped one arm around her legs and lifted her, setting her on his muscular arm.

He raised his sharp brows and curled his lips carelessly.

"At your service, little sister."

2. Yin Duli did her best to keep up the appearance of peace. As soon as her ankle healed, she fled.

She found out by chance that her boyfriend hadn't been away on business at all: he had been cheating. She slapped him and decisively broke up with him.

At a cafe, a man her colleague had introduced as a blind date was holding forth.

But Yin Duli couldn't sit still. She kept feeling that someone was watching her from the shadows, their gaze burning.

That night, Yin Duli had barely stepped inside when a scorching body pressed her against the door in the dark. She cried out, "Bian Lin!"

Bian Lin closed in fiercely, gripping the back of her neck and stealing her breath. "Didn't you say you liked big brother best?"

"Why can they have you, but big brother can't?"
