Bo Muchi loved clinging to Fu Yunheng when they were children, and everyone teased that she was his child bride.

Once, after an argument with Fu Yunheng, she angrily said she would never be his child bride again.

That night, Fu Yunheng showed up at her door with his luggage.

Bo Muchi looked at him in confusion. "What are you doing here?"

Fu Yunheng: "I'm here to marry into your family."

"..."

-

Fu Yunheng caused quite a stir on his first day at the Capital City's First Hospital.

He was handsome and refined, with an air of nobility that made people swoon. But then they were told he already had a girlfriend.

Along with their disappointment, everyone wondered what kind of woman his girlfriend was.

Some tried to comfort themselves, thinking that with Dr. Fu's personality, even if he was in a relationship, he couldn't possibly be a thoughtful boyfriend.

-

One day, the hospital admitted Bo Muchi, a patient hailed as a skiing prodigy since childhood.

Some colleagues went to take a look in their spare time and happened to see their hospital's aloof, cold-hearted Dr. Fu wiping her face.

When he was done, he even leaned down and kissed Bo Muchi.

???

Later, an interview with Bo Muchi came out. She talked about her childhood friend and boyfriend.

The Fu Yunheng she described was an utterly clingy boyfriend... After watching it, the hospital staff began questioning their entire lives.

-I want to be that one splash of color in the endless white snow, and even more, I want to be the only one in your eyes.

-I have no other wish in this life. I only hope she returns safely from every expedition.

-I'll wait for you to come home victorious.

A cool, reserved young master x a talkative, radiant heiress (Yun-Mu couple)

The child-bride thing is just a joke (don't take it seriously).

How to say "I love you"? The heroine is probably a genius.

Coming next: Gentle Sniper

Jiang Qingshi had been heaven's favored daughter since birth. Beautiful and talented, she was the cherished jewel of the Jiang family.

To save her family's company from ruin, she was arranged to marry Shen An, a rising star in Lucheng: a tall, handsome, taciturn man.

When people heard Jiang Qingshi was marrying Shen An, many waited to see her make a fool of herself. She was spoiled and extravagant, while Shen An was low-key and frugal.

Rumor had it he had once said that the kind of woman he hated most was a spoiled, unreasonable one who made a scene over everything.

Someone even arranged a bet, wagering that Jiang Qingshi would be thrown out by Shen An within a year.

On a business trip, Shen An unusually brought Jiang Qingshi along. When people heard the news, someone asked curiously, "Mr. Shen, you're always careful to keep business and personal matters separate. Is there some special reason you're bringing Miss Jiang this time?"

He was insinuating that Jiang Qingshi had cried and nagged until Shen An had no choice but to take her.

Shen An looked at Mrs. Shen, who was raising her eyebrows at him from a short distance away, and admitted frankly, "Yes."

Everyone was stunned, their eyes gleaming with anticipation. "Did Miss Jiang pester you into bringing her?"

"No," Shen An replied. "I begged her to come with me."

He paused deliberately, then added, "I want to see her every moment of every day."

Everyone: "???"

When Shen An was young, he fell in love with someone, but there was a vast gulf between them.

So he secretly vowed to work hard enough to be worthy of her and marry her.

When Jiang Qingshi learned that Shen An had been in love with her for ten years, she teased him. "But everyone says you hate spoiled, willful women."

"I hate it when other women are spoiled and willful," Shen An answered.

Shen An didn't merely like Jiang Qingshi's spoiled, willful nature. He was even creating the conditions for her to stay that way her entire life.

-Loving you is the best decision I've ever made.

A marriage that turns into love: she was struck by his gentle aim.
