A Bewitching Marriage

[Main story complete] Tong Wanshu had known from an early age that she had a fiance. She didn't know him at all. All she knew was that Xie Juanhe was the youngest son of the old master of the Xie family in Lihai, a powerful man with influence rooted in Haicheng. He was difficult to get along with: stern, cold, aloof, domineering, and dull, like a machine without feelings. She'd heard he was even planning to break off the engagement and had no interest in her. He'd accepted the engagement only because he couldn't refuse Madam Xie's wishes. Her friends teased her, saying that a man like Xie Juanhe, with his iron-fisted ways, rigid temperament, and complete lack of romance, would be too much for someone as delicate and pampered as her. Tong Wanshu smiled. She wasn't particularly interested in him anyway. She didn't expect to find love in a marriage like this. But the moment his warm hand, rough with calluses, closed around hers, the contrast between her soft, pale skin and his iron-fisted strength brought her not only trepidation, but also a sense of security. Later, Tong Wanshu secretly began planning to divorce him and asked an acquaintance for help. The acquaintance asked why. Tong Wanshu panicked and accidentally tapped the auto-complete suggestion for "marital discord": "an incompatible sex life." By pure chance, Xie Juanhe saw it. He had given his newlywed wife all the restraint, patience, and tenderness he possessed. Afraid of going too far and overwhelming her, he had been cautious every night. And now his new bride wanted a divorce, for a reason that didn't even exist! Afterward, Xie Juanhe held his wife in his arms after thoroughly having his way with her, and asked in a husky voice, "Is it harmonious now?" Oh... It had always been harmonious. Too harmonious. The man asked again, "Darling, are you still leaving me?" Tong Wanshu whimpered: There was no way she could leave him. Damn this evil autocorrect! Reading Guide: 1.

Xie Junqian was determined not to become a love-struck fool like the men of his father's generation. In his worldview, everything could be reduced to profit, marriage included. In the second year after his company went public, he arranged a blind date with someone whose interests aligned with his own. His mother told him she'd picked out a suitable wife for him. Nie Jinjiao had won the gold prize at the Miss Universe pageant and was well known in high society. She was a notorious pretty face in Lihai, beautiful but empty-headed, a spoiled rich kid who did nothing but eat, drink, and have fun. * One day, Nie Jinjiao got a tip that Xie Junqian was getting married. She eagerly settled in to enjoy the gossip, wondering which unlucky woman would end up with a cold, calculating man like Xie Junqian. She never expected the marriage contract to land in her own lap. * After an unexpected mishap on their wedding night, the two began a shameless life together, with sex but no love.

Just as Boss Xie thought his wife couldn't live without him and had begun to devote herself to him completely, Miss Nie was having the time of her life with a group of young models, when Boss Xie caught her red-handed. She even pretended not to know him. Xie Junqian immediately pulled her out of the crowd, gritting his teeth. "Mrs. Xie, do you think your husband is dead?" Nie Jinjiao, her eyes hazy with drink, gave Boss Xie a bewitching smile. "Oh, Boss Xie, you're still alive? I thought I was a widow." That night, Xie Junqian "carried" Nie Jinjiao off to bed. Nie Jinjiao, fast asleep, opened teary eyes. "What are you trying to do now?" Xie Junqian's long fingers began unbuttoning his shirt as he murmured by her ear, "Didn't Mrs. Xie complain that I'd been neglecting her? Then tonight, we'll continue fulfilling our marital duties." She hadn't! She was just being stubborn! Later, Xie Junqian became more and more addicted to being close to his wife, wanting to cuddle with her every day.
