[Flirtatious beauty x carefree playboy]

Shen Wan, the third young lady of the Shen family, is captivating. One look from her is enough to make anyone's heart itch. Unfortunately, fate hasn't been kind to her. Her parents died when she was young, and she has no say in the Shen family.

So when the Shen and Liang families decide to work together and arrange a marriage alliance, she's the first one they put forward.

Everyone in Jincheng knows that Young Master Liang is always out and about, flirting with women wherever he goes. He's a notorious playboy.

When many young heirs from prominent families hear about the marriage, they shake their heads in sympathy for Shen Wan.

After the wedding, Liang Rui doesn't change his ways. Even in front of Shen Wan, he teases her with carefree abandon: "It's a business marriage. Whoever falls first loses. Right, darling?"

His last word is light and suggestive.

Liang Rui thinks he's simply following his family's wishes and marrying a pretty ornament to bring home. He doesn't need to give her his heart.

Until he realizes he's paying more and more attention to Shen Wan's likes and to what she thinks of him. He gets jealous when other men show an interest in her.

Finally, at a party, he loses control when he sees another man put his hand on Shen Wan's shoulder.

Liang Rui looks at Shen Wan, suppressing his emotions and his resentment. "Shen Wan, you're already married to me. Don't get all touchy-feely with other men."

Shen Wan looks at him as if she's heard a joke, her lips curling as she gazes at Liang Rui.

She steps closer and intimately straightens his collar, but her words are merciless: "Liang Rui, weren't you the one who said that in a business marriage, whoever falls first loses?"

1. The leads flirt with each other in the early part of the story. Later, a few misunderstandings lead the male lead to chase after his wife.

2. No angst, and if anyone suffers, it'll only be the male lead.

Blurb for The Lonely Island:

Shen Yimu became a top lawyer overseas after handling several high-profile cases. Everyone in the legal world thinks he's cold and difficult to deal with, yet they all go to great lengths to win him over.

Just as people in the field are speculating about which firm Shen Yimu will choose, news breaks that he's about to return to China.

When they learn that Shen Yimu has decided to return, his friends and mentors ask why, hoping to convince him to stay.

But he turns them all down. His reason: "My fiancee is waiting for me back home."

For once, there's a hint of tenderness in Shen Yimu's eyes as he says it.

-

Chi Yu has been a sucker for good looks since she was a child. She doesn't like her own brother, but she loves following the handsome boy next door around, always insisting that she'll marry him when she grows up.

Unfortunately, when Chi Yu starts seventh grade, the Shen family moves overseas after some unexpected changes, and the two gradually lose touch.

They meet again when Chi Yu is a sophomore in college and Shen Yimu returns to China.

Shen Yimu realizes that the little girl who used to chase after him and say she would marry him has grown up. She no longer follows him around, promising to marry him, and even calling him "Big Brother Yimu" like she did when she was little would make her blush.

Most importantly, Chi Yu now has other suitors.

Shen Yimu suddenly feels that his plan to take things slowly and not rush has fallen apart.

He looks at Chi Yu, his voice gentle but possessive: "Our little Yu has grown up. Doesn't it mean it's time to fulfill the promise you made when you were a child?"

Theme: Don't make promises lightly.
