Blurb for The Affliction of Not Marrying:

A love story about a heroine who lost her memories as a teenager and suffers from an emotional perception disorder.

After many twists and turns, she and the hero are destined to end up together.

A long-awaited reunion and a lost love regained, from the hero's perspective

A marriage first, love later, from the heroine's perspective

1. Fang Li is set up on a blind date by her mother, only to discover that the other person still has a girlfriend he hasn't properly broken up with.

Then someone throws a cup of hot coffee right in Fang Li's face.

Misfortune always finds those who are already down on their luck.

At this most humiliating moment, Fang Li runs into her high school classmate, Xie Qingyan.

He's a cocky guy with overly long limbs and a lazy, cold voice.

He's also the cruel boy who once held the patchwork love letter she'd put together, pointed at her, and called her a "copycat."

Years later, Xie Qingyan still looks down on everyone. "Fang Li, have you fixed your face blindness? Why are you in such a hurry to marry some Tom, Dick, or Harry?"

2.

To Fang Li, Xie Qingyan is the first person to discover her face-blindness secret.

He's also the first person to bluntly tell her he doesn't like her.

3.

Eight years later, Xie Qingyan says, "Fang Li, marrying some Tom, Dick, or Harry would be the same anyway. Let's get married."
