After Secretly Marrying a Powerful Tycoon

[Main Story Complete] * During her third-year winter break, Ye Jia's father was diagnosed with stomach cancer during a checkup. They said he didn't have much time left, and all he wanted before he died was to see Ye Jia get married and start a career. Ye Jia made up her mind and went on a blind date with someone introduced by a neighborhood committee auntie. Her blind date was handsome, gentle, and polite. Though he wasn't local, he had a car and a house, a stable job, and plenty of ambition. Ye Jia's father was satisfied. Her mother was satisfied. Her blind date was satisfied, too. The two quickly got their marriage license, fulfilling Ye Jia's father's dying wish. Three days later, Ye Jia's father returned home from a major hospital in the capital, looking rosy-cheeked as he announced, "Haha, they got the diagnosis wrong!" Ye Jia, who already had her license and had married young: "?" But I really did get married! * Even if her father's diagnosis was wrong, Ye Jia still had to get on with her life. Her blind date was gentle and considerate, and could handle every household chore. Ye Jia got to enjoy a trendy newlywed romance, but as time went by, even someone as slow on the uptake as Ye Jia gradually began to realize something was off. The plain wedding band her classmates said was worth tens of millions, the special consultation with experts in a hospital room, holiday gifts flown in from overseas, the internal shake-up after she was threatened during her internship... There was no end to this sort of thing. Ye Jia's expression grew increasingly grave: "..." My blind date, who lives on a fixed salary and pays his social insurance and housing fund on time... might be a lot more than meets the eye? #Just how much tax does my husband pay every month? #Am I actually a rich family's young madam??? The male lead's name: Shen Zhiyun (yun, fourth tone, the yun in "fortune") This story is also known as: "My Wealthy Husband, Who Spends Every Day Hiding Behind Secret Identities" [Reading Notes] 1. A marriage-first, love-later story. The writing is slice-of-life, with no central theme or grand message, just all kinds of little everyday things and family matters. If that's not your cup of tea, please take note! 2. The main plot moves at a slower pace, following my outline and writing style. If you like fast-paced stories, please take note! 3. I don't accept writing advice. The author is fragile and might delete comments, quq. --Coming Soon-- "I'm an Extra at the Elite Academy" The protagonist transmigrates into a book he read before bed. This story has all the elements of a crowd-pleaser: an irresistible charmer, *P, and men competing for a man. It's an ideal bedtime read. The story is roughly about a poor protagonist who enters an elite academy and, unable to stand how students are ranked by family background, accidentally clashes with several male leads. The male leads are all born exceptional, with dazzling family backgrounds. The school forum calls them F4. Of course, by the end of the story, each male lead gets his own groveling arc, and they are all deeply captivated by the optimistic, cheerful, stubborn, and unyielding protagonist. This kicks off a series of men competing for a man, leaving readers cheering, "So satisfying!" The protagonist transmigrates into the role of F1's rumored boyfriend. Written as a rumored boyfriend, read as a simp. The character the protagonist transmigrates into is also poor. He's a specially recruited top student with excellent grades, but after only a year at the academy, he's been assimilated by its ever-present hierarchy. He's realized that studying can't change his fate, but following the male lead can get him to the top in one leap. F1 has a nasty personality. With a powerful, illustrious family behind him, he looks down on everyone. Besides the protagonist, F1 has one, two, three, four, five, six simps following him around. The competition is fierce. Apart from the protagonist, the others all come from good families, and they see the protagonist, who has already earned the title of "rumored boyfriend," as a thorn in their side. As mentioned, F1 has a nasty personality, and this shows in his fondness for "raising venomous insects." The reason there are so many simps gathered around F1 is that he deliberately lets it happen. He grew up in a sprawling, scheming family and saw the ugliest sides of human nature. Keeping these people at school is just something he does on a whim, raising them for fun when he's bored. After transmigrating into the book, the protagonist initially plans to make a graceful exit. But he realizes that without F1's "protection," the others might crush him in their increasingly cutthroat competition. So he can only grit his teeth and keep acting. F1 is very perceptive. After watching the protagonist act for a few days, he realizes the little bug doesn't seem to have enough drive. After thinking it over, he decides to feed the protagonist a little more bait to motivate him. And so... He gives the protagonist a key card to his detached villa, so the protagonist can buy him breakfast, lunch, and dinner. At the academy's grand festival gala, he gives the protagonist a ticket for a front-row seat, so the protagonist can film his beauty from every angle without missing a thing. For the annual study trip, he gives the protagonist a plane ticket for the seat beside him, so the protagonist can fend off distractions and create a quiet place for him to sleep. One debt of blood after another leaves the protagonist wanting to throw himself into a river. On yet another rainy day, F1 comes down with the stomach ailment familiar to countless readers and orders the protagonist to get him medicine. The protagonist runs to the infirmary through wind and rain to pick up the medicine. He scorns F1's princess syndrome in his head and deliberately dawdles, taking his sweet time on the way back to the classroom... The classroom is already empty. Beneath the dim, gloomy sky, the curtains billow and flap in the wind. F1 lounges with his chin in his hand, seated in the highest row at the back of the lecture hall. He watches the protagonist thoughtfully, then suddenly smiles and says, "Hey, boyfriend." "Want to kiss me?" * Besides F1, the other members of the academy's F4, F2, F3, and F4, are all extraordinary characters. The three have long heard the story of how F1 turned over a new leaf, but they've never met the remarkable person who changed him. Until another rainy day. The three arrive at the private lounge reserved for F4, umbrellas in hand. When they push open the closed door, the light inside shivers, dust motes floating in its beams. The sound of wind and rain fills their ears. In the unlit room, F1 wears a black tank top. His muscular lines are pale and hard. He leans over a tall marble table, casting a deep, cold shadow as he kisses the person beneath him, one arm wrapped around them. His usually languid, indifferent face is now filled with a shocking madness and yearning. Hearing the door open, he glances up coldly, looking irritated. One hand cups the back of the person in his arms, restraining and protecting them at once. He clicks his tongue and demands, "Couldn't you knock?" F2 spreads his hands and says with a cheerful smile, "Didn't know we were interrupting something good." F3 has always been taciturn and quietly prepares to leave. F4 curls his lip and glances nonchalantly at the slender figure in F1's arms. Calmly, he says, "This is a public place. Have some restraint." The protagonist can't stand listening to them. He pushes F1 away with a cold expression, jumps off the table, and turns to leave. He doesn't look at anyone. His lips press into a straight line, his eyes are dark and listless, and the flush at the corners of his eyes has yet to fade. Yet his expression has already returned to its usual cool indifference. He walks past them without a word, his hem fluttering slightly. The room falls silent at once. Not a sound can be heard. * What the protagonist doesn't know is that his story truly begins only now. Theme: A strong will and determination can overcome any hardship.
