Short novel | Both leads sexually inexperienced | Happy ending | Marriage before love | Everyday life | Slow burn | The rumors about the hero's wild private life are a misunderstanding; he has no children

At their families' arrangement, Ji Ting and Fu Sichen marry under a contract.

At the time, Ji Ting is the most beloved and well-behaved youngest daughter of the Ji family, while Fu Sichen is rumored to be an illegitimate son of the Fu family.

Before the wedding, Ji Ting hears that Fu Sichen has a colorful private life, so she prepares to mind her own business.

She never expects married life to be completely different from what she imagined.

Fu Sichen first meets Ji Ting when he's seventeen, at his grandfather's birthday banquet.

A few rich kids bully him and mock him for being illegitimate. Ji Ting pushes through the crowd and tells him that he did nothing wrong, and no one has the right to humiliate him.

At a later banquet, he sits across from Ji Ting and hears others tease her about being childhood sweethearts with Ling Qie, inseparable since they were children.

Watching the shy look in Ji Ting's eyes, for the first time in his life, he wants to do something wrong.

Upcoming novel blurb

Years later, Ji Shengsheng goes abroad to study dance. After her first performance back home, she happens to run into her old classmates. When she enters the private room, she spots Xu Yu on the sofa and closes the door, preparing to quietly slip away.

"Ji Shengsheng, try walking out and see what happens."

Hearing this, she has no choice but to open the door and go back in.

During the gathering, someone jokes about Ji Shengsheng pursuing Xu Yu and teases, "Good thing you didn't win him over. Otherwise, Shengsheng would have been abroad for two years, and poor God Xu would have suffered."

Ji Shengsheng laughs awkwardly, then hears Xu Yu say from beside her, "She did win me over."

She didn't just win him over, she got him.

After the reunion, everyone else has left. Xu Yu stands by the car waiting for her.

Thinking he must have an ulterior motive, she lies and says she has a boyfriend.

"Your boyfriend doesn't even pick you up?"

"He's busy."

"I'm not."

From that day on, Xu Yu appears in every corner of her life. Just as she's resigned herself to accepting whatever grudge or revenge he has in mind, Xu Yu stands in the moonlight, his voice cool and clear: "Ji Shengsheng, when are you going to let me step into the light?"
