Blurb 1:

[Sweet, adorable country girl x extremely fit, attentive tough guy]

Ye Rui met her future brother-in-law, whom she'd never seen before, when she rode with her fiance in his car to the county town to buy the three pieces of wedding gold.

Her fiance was fair-skinned and refined, but when her future brother-in-law's dark eyes swept silently over her, there was an indescribable hardness about him.

Ye Rui had never met such a cold man before. Nervous and awkward, she greeted him carefully, then lowered her head.

She didn't notice his Adam's apple bob, or the heavy gaze his dark eyes fixed on her.

Ye Rui had little contact with her future brother-in-law.

She never imagined that, on the eve of her wedding, she would catch him with her fiance, who was intimately embracing another woman.

The sight hit Ye Rui like a thunderbolt. She stood there in a daze, her eyes reddening without her even realizing it, tears streaking her small, delicate face.

Then the man's warm, rough palm came to rest on her shoulder. Without a word, he turned her around, refusing to let her look at the humiliating scene any longer.

Their brief touch brought Ye Rui back to her senses. She instinctively looked up, her tear-filled eyes meeting his deep, dark gaze.

In that moment, perhaps overwhelmed by the shock, she acted on impulse.

Ye Rui wiped away her tears and asked in a choked, hoarse voice, "I want to change who I'm marrying. Would you marry me?"

Huo Fang narrowed his eyes slightly. His voice was low and resolute. "I will."

Blurb 2:

Ye Rui changed her intended, married her fiance's older brother, and left Chunjiu Town with him to start a new life in a city she'd never set foot in before. But she and the man had barely known each other. Even after they became husband and wife, she couldn't help feeling awkward around him in their everyday life.

Then one day, Ye Rui got the urge to make fruit wine with some fresh fruit she'd bought.

The wine was very low in alcohol, so she didn't think much of it when she shared some with Huo Fang.

But she hadn't expected the usually taciturn, stern man to be such a lightweight.

After just one glass, he leaned back against the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

As a girl from Chunjiu Town, Ye Rui could hold her liquor. She was surprised to see someone get drunk from fruit wine.

She instinctively leaned closer to take a look. The next moment, the man abruptly opened his eyes and stared straight at her.

Ye Rui's heart fluttered for no reason, and she hurriedly tried to pull away.

But just then, Huo Fang's Adam's apple bobbed. He reached out, pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly.

The man had a narrow waist and broad back, his arm muscles firm and solid. Lying against him, Ye Rui could feel how hot and hard he was.

Sitting in his arms, Ye Rui's cheeks flushed faintly. Her voice was barely audible. "Huo Fang, put me down."

At that, Huo Fang seemed to chuckle softly.

He leaned toward her slender, pale neck, his breath hot and his voice husky. "Wife, why did you try to get away just now?"

*Big physical contrast / wolf-and-rabbit romance / attentive male lead / the male lead has a narrow waist, broad back, and an amazing body! He's incredibly attentive!!!

Blurb 1:

When she was young, Yu Yao used to imagine what it would be like to reunite with Zhou Zhichen.

She would have outgrown her childish awkwardness, dressed neatly, and greeted him with easy grace: "Long time no see."

Just like the lyrics went:

At the corner cafe, smiling as we wave and exchange greetings.

But when their reunion arrived without warning, Yu Yao never imagined it would happen in a cha chaan teng.

It was an autumn afternoon, and she was in a miserable state after her landlord gave her a final ultimatum and forced her out of her home.

The door of the cha chaan teng opened, and Zhou Zhichen walked in. Yu Yao's eyes stung as she met his deep gaze.

He was tall and straight-backed, wearing a black shirt. His features were sharp and defined, just as she remembered.

Their eyes met.

Yu Yao lowered her trembling lashes, wanting only to pretend she hadn't seen him.

But in the next instant, she caught sight of Zhou Zhichen stopping beside her table. He tapped the tabletop with his long fingers and called softly, "Yu Yao."

She pressed her lips together, then looked up in silence, at a loss for words.

The man lowered his eyes and asked gently, "I have a spare room. Would you like to move in with me?"

Blurb 2:

The day she moved into Zhou Zhichen's home, Yu Yao was quiet and withdrawn. She never expected that she would find her way back into his world.

That same evening, Yu Yao saw the man standing on the balcony, his expression calm as he took a call, and learned that his family was pressuring him to get married.

As it happened, her mother was also urging her to go on blind dates and get married.

Sitting on the sofa, Yu Yao's mind went blank for a moment. She walked over and asked him if they should get married.

"Are you sure?"

Zhou Zhichen gazed at her deeply, his voice gentle and even as he told her something that had once been true.

"Yu Yao, your mother and my father were once deeply in love, eight years ago."

Under the night sky, he lit a cigarette. "They were just one step away from getting married."

Zhou Zhichen looked at her and flicked the ash from his cigarette. "So, are you sure you're willing to marry me?"

At that moment,

the man's eyes were gentle yet deep, like a dark night that would never fade.

Yu Yao lightly pressed her lips together, nodded, and said yes.
