Married first, love later | aloof and dignified x sweet and soft
1.
Fu Lingbai, head of the Fu family, is handsome and elegant, yet cold and indifferent. None of his countless admirers can catch his eye.
Even Su Youtang, who rarely mingles with the children of wealthy families, has heard that he keeps his distance from women.
When they learn the Fu and Su families are arranging a marriage, everyone expects them to lead a loveless, passionless life together.
Even so, when work requires Su Youtang to get unusually close to another man, she still chooses to let her husband know.
He looks at her, his expression and voice unruffled. "You mean you're going to a nightclub to sketch?"
She explains, "They said the men I draw don't have any sexual tension, so..."
"Sexual tension."
He rolls the words around on his tongue. His low, languid voice grows a little husky.
"Come here. I'll teach you."

Fu Lingbai agreed to marry into the Su family to get his family off his back.
Miss Su is lovely and adorable, but not his type.
At first, he thought they only needed to treat each other with respect.
Later, he realized marriage wasn't without its merits.
Later still, sitting alone in his study late at night and staring at a scrap of paper covered in names, he wondered where his prized rationality, composure, and self-control had gone.
The butler comes to announce, "Young Madam is back."
Fu Lingbai gets up, lets out a heavy breath, straightens his clothes, and walks to the bedroom door.
Knock, knock.
The door opens.
For the first time, the pampered young master of the Fu family speaks in a humble, pleading voice.
"Tangtang, can I come back and sleep tonight?"
