An Affair Within Marriage

Fu Yanzhen is the heir to a conglomerate. He is domineering, arrogant, and blessed with a face that draws every eye. His standards for a partner are sky-high, and no one has ever caught his attention.

After his family pressured him time and again, he could take no more and registered his marriage to the person his elders had chosen.

Shen Qingling is low-key, gentle, reserved, and not much of a talker, the complete opposite of the sharp-tongued Fu Yanzhen.

On the first day of their marriage, company employees offered their congratulations. "Congratulations on your wedding, Mr. Fu."

Fu Yanzhen only scowled, his gaze chilling. "Have you all finished your work?"

Everyone scattered like birds and beasts. Just how unhappy was the CEO about this marriage? What a hard time his wife must be having. Given how decisive he is, this marriage is bound to end in divorce sooner or later.

At a party, everyone else arrived in pairs, while Shen Qingling sat alone in a corner, with no sign of Fu Yanzhen beside her. It was hard not to assume he was neglecting her.

A marriage without love is like a heap of loose sand.

A traffic jam delayed him, and Fu Yanzhen arrived halfway through the party. He scanned the room, quickly spotted the graceful figure in the corner, and strode over.

The onlookers pricked up their ears, but instead of the words they expected from the usually arrogant young master, they heard a voice full of helpless affection. "Why didn't you wait for me? Are you sulking?"

He leaned toward her, his warm breath brushing her ear as he spoke in a low voice. "From now on, you can decide how we do things."

Rugged man / Daily life / He has a secret crush / She falls in love after marriage

Delicate, frail top student x gruff man who says one thing and means another

After a string of setbacks at work and betrayal by a colleague, Xu Siyi quit her job and returned to her hometown. There, she married the good man her mother had told her about.

The man was all muscle. He worked hard at the auto repair shop by day and sweated just as hard at home by night.

They bickered every few days after the wedding. One day, as Xu Siyi passed the supermarket, she saw Zhou Jin with a cigarette in his mouth, muttering about her. "She's so fussy. Who else could put up with her besides me?"

Xu Siyi steeled herself and went to look for their documents so she could divorce him, but under the cabinet she found a notebook: Zhou Jin's secret-crush diary.

[She didn't come to school today. The homeroom teacher said she was out sick. I'm so worried.]

[I secretly went to see her. The dog her family keeps is so annoying. It barks as soon as you get near the door.]

The diary ended on the day he graduated high school. The latest entry was from a few months ago.

[Thank goodness, we're married.]
