Will You Marry Me, You Jerk?

[An extra-sweet, extra-indulgent romance]

#What's it like to marry someone you can't stand?

Shen Rouzhi thinks Cheng Yan would be perfect for this topic.

After all, he can't stand her, yet he married her.

As for Shen Rouzhi, she doesn't dislike Cheng Yan. She just thinks he's a bit of a nuisance.

Back in high school, she had to drink soy milk she didn't like every morning. Once, stressed out, she pretended to be sick so she could take the day off, but Cheng Yan made her take fever medicine. Whenever he helped her with homework, he sighed and showed no patience...

Now Cheng Yan is disrupting her plans again.

She goes to watch the sunrise, and he tags along. She buys a little cake, and he takes half. She cleans the house, and he joins in, even insisting they wash their clothes together.

After putting up with it for a long time, Shen Rouzhi asks for a divorce.

But Cheng Yan turns out to be a shameless sort. Their marriage was supposed to be a contract, yet he refuses to leave. He even rudely pins her against a wall and grits out in her ear, "No divorce!"

Back in high school, Cheng Yan once said that Shen Rouzhi was the person he hated most.

He brought her breakfast every day, bought her medicine when she was sick, and patiently explained difficult problems to her. Yet Shen Rouzhi would calmly tell him she liked someone else.

Ten years later, they meet again and, through a series of mishaps, end up with a marriage certificate.

It might be a marriage in name only, but at least they're legally husband and wife.

But Shen Rouzhi ignores him every day. None of her plans include him, and she treats him as if he's invisible in their own home.

Furious, Cheng Yan wants to shout to the whole world: He hates Shen Rouzhi more than anyone else!
