Marriage first, love later / Five-year age gap / The male lead's secret crush comes true / The female lead falls in love after marriage
At twenty-five, Lu Sitong followed her parents' wishes and married her childhood friend, Xie Jingzhang.
They hadn't seen each other in seven years, and she felt their marriage was nothing more than a piece of paper.
After their secret wedding, her company signed her up for a dating show.
She knew the show was scripted, but never expected Xie Jingzhang to appear as a guest.
Under the cameras, the man's deep eyes showed no hesitation as he called her by her childhood nickname. "Sisi."
Lu Sitong's thoughts instantly went into disarray. She nodded softly. "Jingzhang, welcome back to the country."
The livestream aired across major platforms, stirring up a frenzy among netizens.
Xie Jingzhang was the sole heir to the most powerful family in Huaguo, and his marriage had been the subject of intense interest ever since his return.
Springtime, Fall in Love with Me was the Xie Group's first self-produced dating show, and Huaguo's first dating show to pair celebrities with ordinary people.
Promoted as the nation's ideal husband and wife, Lu Sitong and Xie Jingzhang quickly became the show's most closely watched guests.
After two episodes aired, they became the couple everyone was most excited to see fall in love: the Jing-Tong CP.
Spending time alone together on the show, the newlyweds discovered that Xie Jingzhang was just as he had been before.
He remembered everything she liked, and rushed to her side the moment she got hurt, bringing back memories she had long buried.
During a round of Truth or Dare, Xie Jingzhang boldly revealed his feelings on camera. "Actually, I've liked Sisi for a long time."
Lu Sitong blushed and dared not meet his eyes.
The other guests exclaimed, "The show's first couple is about to become official!"
Then one day, the production team made a surprise visit to Lu Sitong's dorm.
The moon hung in the sky, its pale light spilling into the room and faintly revealing two blurry figures who seemed to be kissing.
Just as the camera was about to move closer, the blackout curtains came down in time, and the livestream had to be cut off.
"Sisi," the man murmured in a low, slightly hoarse voice as he leaned close to her ear. "For the finale, will you go on a Ferris wheel date with me?"
During the finale's confession, Xie Jingzhang held Lu Sitong's hand on the Ferris wheel, their fingers intertwined as they gazed into each other's eyes.
"Honey, thank you for agreeing to marry me. I'll love you forever."
The livestream shot to the top of the trending charts. No one had expected that the couple they had been shipping were actually married in real life.
[In the darkest days, she lit up his world.]

Gentle wedding planner × aloof, multi-talented creator
Marriage first, love later / Mutual secret crush
In her first year of high school, Xu Peiyi developed a crush on her deskmate, Pei Shengdong.
The boy was quiet and reserved. During breaks, he stayed in his seat with his head down, writing lyrics, occasionally humming melodies that were still taking shape.
Whenever music class came around, he shone like a star in the sky, drawing the admiration of many.
In their final year of high school, he carefully shared his dream with her on the rooftop.
Going abroad meant they would be separated.
She encouraged him to pursue his dream, and just as she had wished, he became a multi-talented music producer.
Seven years later, Xu Peiyi returned from abroad, and her parents sent her to a matchmaking meeting.
She never expected her match to be Pei Shengdong. The man had shed his youthful awkwardness, and his features now carried maturity and composure.
Their eyes met for a moment before his low voice broke the silence. "Marry me, and I'll make sure you have nothing to worry about."
Three days later, they registered their marriage.
With his new song Heartbeat for You, Pei Shengdong established himself as one of the country's top original music producers.
Entertainment reporters asked, "Was there a real person who inspired this love song?"
Pei Shengdong's lips curved into a smile. He looked toward the camera, his deep eyes full of affection, and said in a low voice:
"My wife is my muse. Without her encouragement, I wouldn't have had the chance to realize my dream."
One night, Xu Peiyi was personally sorting through Pei Shengdong's early drafts.
A diary filled with her name fell from his arms onto the floor.
It turned out that she had been the only leading lady in his life for many years.
He used matchmaking as an excuse to turn his secret crush into open love.
At last, he could say all the sweet words he hadn't managed to express back then, this time as her husband.
From the day they first met, she was the only one who could make his heart race, and he would love her faithfully forever.
