I'm Not Up for This Game

Blurb 1:

Jiang Yuan knows Wen Zhi likes him.

He's known since high school.

She likes him so much that she even confessed to him on a wall.

Later, their families arranged a marriage. When he first returned to the country, he agreed for the sake of their past connection.

At first, he thought this would be a marriage where she secretly loved him, and he didn't love her back.

Before long, he realized things had changed. It seemed they had fallen for each other.

Later still, he realized he was wrong. The person Wen Zhi loved didn't seem to be him. It was still unrequited love, only now he was the one in love alone.

Wen Zhi was a master at weaving webs. She spun an inescapable net around him, ensnared his heart, then flung the net away without mercy.

She didn't want him anymore.

Blurb 2:

Before their wedding, Wen Zhi already knew that Jiang Yuan was marrying her for reasons that had little to do with love.

They were together because their families needed it, because they were a good match.

She understood that, but she didn't care.

Later, Jiang Yuan saw her high school diary. Its pages were filled with her love for another man.

That man's name was A Yuan.

The person she'd confessed to from beginning to end wasn't even him.

That day, Jiang Yuan's heart went completely hollow.

-

At first, Wen Zhi sent Jiang Yuan a message asking when he would be coming home.

Young Master Jiang was a carefree playboy, and this was the first time anyone had asked him a question like that.

His friends teased him, but he paid them no mind.

Later, Jiang Yuan pinned her against the wall and gripped her hand, the corners of his eyes red.

"When are you going to start paying attention to me again?"

"Can we stop playing? I admit it. I can't handle this."

"Can't you at least give me the time of day?"

-The playboy turns over a new leaf / the regretful husband chases his wife to the crematorium

-I can't believe I'm another man's replacement

-I'm just a replacement, fine, but please don't leave me, wife

-The most beautiful sight I've ever seen was the look in your eyes when I thought you loved me

Reader's Guide:

1. The male lead is a replacement and has had quite a few casual relationships. He has a romantic past, but never gave his heart to anyone.

2. The female lead has fallen for someone else before.

3. Both leads are sexually inexperienced. Doubt it if you want, but they are.

4. Happy ending
