After Being Forced Into a Marital Match, I Thrive

[Thank you, sweet angels, for supporting the official release. Sending you love!] Coming next: "After the Alpha Goes Easy, She Has a Wife and Daughter," an ABO story with a younger top and no dependents. This is a 1v1, happy-ending story. Please read the content notes first. Thank you for your support. Marriage first, love later / competence and face-slapping / sweet romance and protective wife / same-sex marriage is legal / five-year age gap (24 and 29) Optimistic, warm, and secretly formidable top VS beautiful, proud, catlike, and secretly passionate bottom Xia Yining, the beloved heiress of the Xia family, was to marry for the sake of her family's interests. The lucky candidate turned out to be Jiang Yan, her most devoted admirer. Everyone wailed, unanimously agreeing that a beautiful flower had been stuck in a pile of shit. Jiang Yan transmigrated into a book and became the good-for-nothing second-generation heir she had always looked down on. Before she could change her image, she was forced to accept a marriage arranged by her family. Refusing to be a lovesick doormat was her bottom line. Even if her wife was breathtakingly beautiful and had a seductive figure, she still wouldn't... waver. On the wedding day, the Xia family looked down on Jiang Yan, and even the bride, Xia Yining, felt the same way. Separate rooms and separate beds were only to be expected. Jiang Yan didn't argue. She only smiled before leaving. "One day, you'll regret this." Xia Yining replied with certainty, "Don't worry. I won't regret it even on the day the world ends." After they married, Jiang Yan behaved herself. She really never considered moving into the bridal suite, much less sleeping in the marital bed. She entertained herself, made no fuss, and stopped pursuing Xia Yining without limits. It was as if she didn't exist to the Xia family. Until the Xia family fell into crisis and Xia Yining found herself at her lowest. Then she suddenly realized there was a pillar of support beside her, holding up her whole world. The once good-for-nothing Jiang Yan gradually revealed her true self: a witty, healing artist, a talented web novelist, a culinary expert who could write recipes, and an invisible tycoon with a bank account overflowing with money... Xia Yining had chosen Jiang Yan because she was easy to control and had no abilities, making her the perfect choice to deal with her family's marriage pressure. She never expected that in the end, this person would bring warmth to her whole world. The world didn't end, but Xia Yining took the initiative to enter Jiang Yan's room. [Content Notes] 1. This is a marriage of convenience, agreed to by both parties. Marrying into the wife's family refers to the marriage arrangement, not a distinction of gender, but a difference in status and family power. The top has a modest golden finger. 2. Both leads are inexperienced and pure in the story. They fall in love over time, and at first neither has that sort of worldly desire. The story follows their careers and relationship as normal. Please think carefully before starting. 3. Please don't offer unsolicited writing advice. If a chapter doesn't work for you, stop reading; there's no need to tell me. No trolling or personal attacks. The author reserves the right to take legal action. 4. Reposting, changing the characters' genders, and editing this story are prohibited in every form. If I find anyone pirating or distributing stolen copies, I will pursue the matter seriously. Please behave yourselves. This story will be available to paying readers on 12.22.
