I Just Want to Pamper You

The Su family is on the verge of bankruptcy. To save the family, the Sus arrange a marriage alliance with the wealthy Qi family. The Qi family's young heir, Qi Yuan, is already well known in business circles. Rumor has it that he's ruthless and decisive, with a particularly gloomy, volatile temperament that makes him impossible for strangers to approach. On the wedding day, the bride runs off with her boyfriend. Shen Yijin, the Su family's cousin, who was orphaned as a child and raised by the Sus, takes her place and completes the wedding. On their wedding night, Qi Yuan glares at her coldly. "Stay away from me." Shen Yijin, in a red dress, catches his sleeve with her delicate hand as he slams the door. "Brother Yuan, I'm afraid of the dark." Qi Yuan: ? Thunder rumbles, and Shen Yijin trembles even more with fear. "Brother Yuan, I'm scared of thunder." Qi Yuan: ?? Shen Yijin's eyes are as dewy as spring waters, misty and glistening. She's as pitiful as can be, and terribly timid. Every night, she needs someone to soothe her to sleep. Qi Yuan grows more and more agitated by the day... After a while, his friends notice that Qi Yuan comes home early every day and can't resist teasing him. "The Su family is already in the palm of your hand. Don't tell me you've really fallen for this business marriage and gotten hooked on pampering your little sister?" It's true that the marriage alliance was only meant to secure the Su family. Shen Yijin is nothing but a pawn. Qi Yuan suddenly realizes that this pawn is moving in an uncontrollable direction. He can't allow someone like her to stay by his side. - Shen Yijin receives a check and lets out a sigh of relief. At last, she doesn't have to keep pretending. It was a ridiculous fake marriage from the start. He had an agenda, and she wasn't innocent either. She quickly moves out and begins planning her new life. - That night, lightning flashes and torrential rain pours down. Qi Yuan stares at his empty home, his heart aching with a sense of loss. He goes mad with worry, running out into the rain to search everywhere for her. He finds her in a bar. In the dim light, she's dazzling in a red dress, surrounded by strange men, the air thick with flirtation. Qi Yuan strides over, grabs her, and hustles her out the door, shoving her into his car. "Be good, Jinjing. Stop acting up. Let's go home." Shen Yijin kicks him away. Her former sweet and gentle manner is gone, replaced by a cool, detached expression. "Mr. Qi, you don't need to soothe me anymore. I only pretended to need comforting because I wanted your money." Qi Yuan pins her against the car door, running his fingers over her lips. His voice is deep and gentle. "But I've gotten hooked on soothing you." "Go find my cousin." "You're the only one I want to soothe." *Sweet, adorable wife x hot-tempered tycoon *Marriage first, love later / fake replacement bride / unconventional groveling arc, both leads are sexually inexperienced, happy ending *A best-friends story set in the same world as Falling into Moonlight Please add My Runaway Bride's Diary to your reading list The Lin and Ye families have arranged a business marriage. At the engagement party, Lin Shuwan sees her fiance, Ye Yifei, pull a woman into the shadows beneath a tree, where they flirt intimately. Everyone is waiting to laugh at Lin Shuwan. Even Lin Shuwan herself finds it ridiculous. Just as she's about to storm out, a man blocks her path. "Want to have some fun together?" His peach-blossom eyes are flirtatious and captivating, with an unmistakably dangerous glint. Yet his invitation is made with effortless elegance. Lin Shuwan smiles seductively and takes his arm, leaving with him in full view of everyone. Ye Yifei chases after them, with laughter ringing behind him. - The man who takes Lin Shuwan away is He Xiujie, the new head of the He family. Rumor has it he's coldhearted and ruthless, with no scruples when it comes to getting what he wants. He's a gloomy, bloodless man. Most importantly, he's Ye Yifei's sworn enemy. Everyone in their circle laughs at Lin Shuwan for not knowing her place. They expect the Ye family to break off the engagement, He Xiujie to toy with her, and her to end up disgraced. But then someone spots Ye Yifei lingering beneath Lin Shuwan's apartment building late at night. Two intimate, sensuous silhouettes sway behind the window. Later, at an upscale restaurant, Ye Yifei stops Lin Shuwan in front of everyone, holding a diamond ring as he kneels and begs her to marry him and forgive him. Instead, a bright red marriage certificate smacks him in the face. "Call her Sister-in-law." He Xiujie narrows his peach-blossom eyes, smiling like a menace. Everyone: So much for what we thought was going to happen? - Back home, Lin Shuwan releases the man's arm and smiles, her red lips curving. "Thanks. I had a lot of fun with you during this time." He Xiujie laces his fingers through hers, one by one, and pulls her into his arms. His warm breath brushes her ear, his voice low and deep. "Who said I was playing?" *The male lead is He Xiujie.
