This Dentist Is a Little Too Calm

[Completed]

Zhou Sui is an artist on a certain P site. While struggling to come up with ideas, she meets dentist Fu Shuyi on her way to a matchmaking date.

He's practically the model for the refined scoundrel male lead in her comic!

So Zhou Sui pulls out all the stops to gather material around Dr. Fu, eagerly looking forward to finishing her comic.

Then the male lead discovers the comic...

In the comic, he wraps an arm around Zhou Sui's slender waist and murmurs, "I'd give you my life."

Fu Shuyi skims through it, turning red with embarrassment, then snaps the book shut with a smack, gritting her teeth.

She was using him as material? Fine. Just fine!

One day, he corners her against a wall.

"W-what are you doing?"

Fu Shuyi licks his lips and smiles. "You're pretty good at drawing, aren't you?"

"...?"

"The content's pretty spicy. It made my face turn red. Let's see how you plan to take my life!"

"...Dr. Fu, calm down!"

Blurb: Chen Yan has a childhood betrothal to Xu Jiaqing, said to have been arranged while they were still in the womb.

Though they've never met, she's loomed over him since childhood.

They say she's so good at school that no one can keep up, that she always takes first place in every competition, that she's beautiful with a sweet voice, and that she earned thirty bonus points for academic competitions while still in school.

Xu Jiaqing has a childhood betrothal to Chen Yan, said to have been arranged while they were still in the womb.

They say he's a good-for-nothing who throws his weight around at school because his family is rich. Aside from his decent looks, he gets failing marks in every subject and always comes in last. Even getting into a vocational school would be a near-impossible feat.

One day, the two people from the rumors finally meet.

Xu Jiaqing holds out her hand. "Hello, I'm Xu Jiaqing."

Chen Yan replies coolly, "My name is Chen Yan. The Yan in 'burning fireworks to ashes.'"

Xu Jiaqing nods to show she understands.

The next day, Xu Jiaqing introduces him to a friend like this: "My betrothed? His name's Chen Ran. The Ran in 'burning fireworks to ashes.'"

Chen Yan, buying water at the corner store: "..."

What the hell, do you have the memory of a fish? And you're supposed to be first in your class?

-

On the eve of graduation, Chen Yan asks Xu Jiaqing on the rooftop,

"Why did you go to all that trouble to get close to me back then?"

Was it love at first sight?

Before Chen Yan can say it, Xu Jiaqing turns to him with a forlorn look.

"I thought you knew. I was broke back then, and I figured you were stupid and rich. If I got close to you and made friends, you'd buy more of my homework assignments. Easy money, right?"

Chen Yan: "..."

I swear, I want to strangle you.

-

After they marry, Chen Yan remembers the first time he met Xu Jiaqing.

The first thing he said was, "Your name's Xu Jiaqing? Your dad's surname is Xu, and your mom's surname is Qing?"

Xu Jiaqing: "That's right."

What Xu Jiaqing didn't know was that Chen Yan had already picked out names for both their children that day.

Chen Jiaxu.

Chen + Xu.

*The female lead looks innocent on the outside but is calculating within, and isn't as obedient and sensible as the rumors claim.

*The male lead looks cold and obsessive, but is actually an openhearted young man.
