A Kiss in the Spring Night

Beijing's sharp-tongued heiress x refined, powerful archaeology professor Marriage first, love later / sweet romance / secret crush Sheng Yi is a gifted actress, but she's infamous in her circle for her strange temper. Both the entertainment industry and the wealthy elite know her temper is among the worst. But her family is so powerful that no one dares cross her. Her perpetually sour expression kept her single until she was twenty-eight. When her family urged her to get married, she simply said, "You decide. Just don't pick someone ugly." A month later, Sheng Yi's wedding date was set. Still bewildered, Sheng Yi hastily tossed her future husband a key to her home. She teased him on purpose. "They told you, right? I want someone good in bed." The man wore slim-framed glasses. His expression was mild, and his slightly upturned, peach-blossom eyes had a hint of allure. "Yes." He undid his collar with one hand. His ears reddened as he teased her. "Want to try?" - When her assistant brought the archaeology professor in, Sheng Yi was busy confronting the archaeology expert a sponsor had forced onto her production. With a sour expression and a cool voice, she said, "Can they really force just anyone onto my set now?" The atmosphere in the room was so oppressive it was hard to breathe. Her assistant gave an awkward laugh and explained, "Director Sheng has high standards for expertise." The hand lifting the curtain paused in midair. Wen Shili smiled gently. "That's understandable." Sheng Yi turned around. They stared at each other in silence. Why did this person look familiar? He looked a lot like the man she'd married and then kicked out as soon as the marriage certificate was issued. Sheng Yi showed no mercy, not even for her husband. "You want to join my production?" "It's part of my job." Sheng Yi frowned. "Then prove yourself." If he couldn't, he could get out. She'd treat him like anyone else. * Wen Shili was born into one of the capital's most powerful families. With his naturally handsome face, anyone would assume the second young master had no shortage of women. No one knew that... Ever since he was a child, Wen Shili had kept someone dear to him in his heart. She was stubborn, hot-tempered, and hard to appease. Years of secret love and insecurity meant he only dared show his affection while she was asleep. "After all these years," "I still love only you." Sheng Yi had always assumed Wen Shili married her only to placate their elders. Until one day, while borrowing his professional books to look up information, she found an old photograph carefully tucked inside. It was a misaligned shot from high school, taken as they passed each other in the corridor. Only then did she realize: He might have loved her for many years. Theme: Love is worth a fortune
