1. The Sheng and Xu families joined together in marriage, and Xu Xingyue had no choice but to marry Sheng Yanze, the heir to the Sheng family.
Though she had no feelings for the husband her family had assigned her, for the sake of their families' mutual interests,
Xu Xingyue was still willing to cooperate with Sheng Yanze and put on a show of marital bliss and deep devotion in public.
After doing it for so long, everyone except Xu Xingyue herself believed they'd truly fallen in love after getting married, including Sheng Yanze.
Xu Xingyue: ...What do I do when my assigned husband is taking the role too seriously?
2. Sheng Yanze was reserved and clueless about romance. He'd lived twenty-eight years without ever dating, yet after one matchmaking meeting arranged for the sake of a family alliance, he quickly joined the ranks of those who married at lightning speed.
He thought his unappealing personality would surely annoy his new, sweet young wife.
To his surprise, not only did she not mind, she was gentle and considerate toward him. Whenever she accompanied him to various events, she'd affectionately take his arm and tell everyone in a sweet voice, "My husband treats me so well. I love him so much."
Day by day, Sheng Yanze gradually fell under Xu Xingyue's spell and began to cherish her too.
Until one day, Sheng Yanze got a call from a friend. The background noise was lively and chaotic, and his friend said urgently, "Yanze, get over here! Your wife's drunk and wants to pick up the tab for the whole place!"
When Sheng Yanze rushed to the bar, he saw his usually demurely dressed young wife in a cropped camisole and miniskirt, showing off her hot, alluring figure in full.
With red lipstick on, she said flippantly, "My husband? Oh, he's just a clueless block of wood..."
Someone suddenly wrapped an arm around her exposed waist. Xu Xingyue turned around in irritation and saw the husband she'd called a block of wood standing behind her, his eyes dark and unreadable.
Sheng Yanze: "A block of wood?"
Xu Xingyue: "W-Want to play statue?"
Sheng Yanze: "Heh :)"
"My wife really loves me" clueless, straight-laced husband × "I love you, I'm just pretending" drama queen of a fairy.
