Weibo: @ChuXun- 🍷Upcoming marriage romances: Pampered Marriage, Marriage Contract #MarriageFirstLoveLater / Female Lead Has a Secret Crush / Ten-Year Age Gap When Wen Yao was twenty, her family was suddenly struck by misfortune. The girl clutched a black umbrella, her slender legs trembling in the wind. A coat faintly scented with sandalwood was draped over her from behind. Jin Shaoli stood tall beside her, his deep, dark eyes fixed on the tombstone before them. He was her fiance's older brother, and he had come to take her to the Jin family. On that damp, rainy day, she didn't dare look at him. Hidden beneath the umbrella, she secretly traced the contours of his long-fingered hands with her eyes. Later, Wen Yao was taken in by the Jin family. Jin's father brought up the marriage agreement between their families. The girl timidly raised her head, her gaze cautiously slipping toward the refined, dignified man sitting nearby. After hesitating for a few minutes, she asked softly, "Could I switch to someone else?" "...?" Wen Yao couldn't bring herself to look at the man in his immaculate suit, his gentle brows hiding a hint of distance. Summoning nearly all her courage, she said, "Could I switch to Brother Jin... Jin Shaoli?" The room fell unnaturally silent. Almost everyone looked stunned, including the usually composed Jin Shaoli, who was clearly taken aback. But when Jin's father finally asked for his opinion, he replied calmly, "All right." - After they married, they treated each other with courtesy. Jin Shaoli was gentle, courteous, and attentive to every detail. But they seemed more like roommates than a married couple. Later, the girl gave up hope and went out drinking with friends one night. When an upperclassman walked her home, Jin Shaoli was sitting on the sofa, looking as if he'd waited all night. His gaze shifted away from the arm a strange young man had helped her hold, and his voice turned cold. "Where have you been?" Wen Yao fought back the urge to cry, thinking that he didn't even like her, so why should he care? She answered sulkily, "It's none of your business." That night, half asleep, Wen Yao got up for a drink of water. Someone wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and pulled her close. The man's voice, so unlike his usual one, vibrated against her ear through his chest: "Who was it that chose me in the first place?" The man did his best to suppress the possessiveness hidden in his heart, struggling to keep up his refined facade. His voice softened a little. "Now you just say you don't want me anymore." "Roses have no rules. Follow your heart above all." - From the internet.

His black, buttoned-up shirt couldn't hide the aura of control that seemed to emanate from him in the darkness. She stared blankly at him for a while, momentarily distracted. In the dark, the man took off his watch. The metal tapped softly against the table, and his voice was low and cool: "Don't you recognize your husband?" - Wen Shuci and Liang Jingmo had known each other since childhood. Their families were longtime friends, and Liang Jingmo was also her friend's uncle. He had been cool and dignified since childhood, quiet and reserved, yet he looked after her in every way, like an elder, always keeping her in mind. She thought that marrying Liang Jingmo would let her continue to live the pampered life of a rich young lady, and that even if he was not interested in women, he would still take good care of her as his little sister. Who could have known that he would be nothing like the restrained, self-controlled man she saw in everyday life? Seeing him loosen his tie in front of the full-length mirror felt strangely unfamiliar. Later, unable to put up with it, she told him that he wasn't treating her well at all. The man nodded thoughtfully. From then on, he came home on time every day. After she ate fruit, he carefully wiped her hands with a wet tissue. He was considerate in every way, treating her as if they were a loving couple. Wen Shuci remembered that theirs was only a business marriage and suggested they go back to how things used to be. That night, in the wavering light, he held her hand so tightly she couldn't move. "What were things like before?" His intensely possessive gaze seemed ready to tear her apart. It felt as though thousands upon thousands of butterflies had rushed into her chest, leaving her tingling all over. She heard him chuckle softly: "I've wanted this for a long time."
