Originally titled "A Marriage of Perfect Understanding," also known as "He Has a Beautiful Smile"
You're clear-headed, and so am I. Love isn't all that important.
It all began when we tacitly agreed to create a fake marriage.
But then we found out that we actually suited each other pretty well.

Yu Qing was the stepson of the Cheng family patriarch. After his mother finally achieved her goal and brought him through the Cheng family's grand gates, he no longer had a mother.
The poor woman devoted herself to pleasing her husband and the children from his previous marriage. In front of the husband she loved so dearly, she diligently played the role of a frail, kind wife and stepmother, inhabiting the two hard-won roles so completely that they became part of her bones.
Everyone in the Cheng family praised her. Even the children from the first marriage, who had resented her presence at first, couldn't say a bad word about her.
But Yu Qing, her son with her late former husband, seemed to have been forgotten.
Yu Qing was practically invisible in the Cheng family. He lived in a room originally meant for the servants, and apart from the occasional family gatherings he had to attend during holidays, he spent the rest of his time quietly fading into the background.
Still, at least he had left behind the filthy slum his mother used to describe, and now lived a normal life. He could receive a good education and have enough to eat and wear. So he always told himself he should be grateful. He had to thank the Cheng family.
Then, in his first year of college, the Cheng family handed him an important task: they wanted him to marry a nouveau riche man, a thirty-year-old gay man from a family with no standing but plenty of money.
Yu Qing agreed.

Yu Qing thought he would probably drift through life weightlessly, with no one to care about, like a helium balloon that had been shoddily made at the factory, its pattern printed wrong, and then casually released into the sky.
In the end, it would drift endlessly, lose everything inside, wrinkle up and fall into the mud, dying alone in some empty corner.
But then he met Si Mingji, the man willing to hold him in his arms, take up a paintbrush, and carefully redraw the pattern for him, imprinting his heart on Yu Qing's plastic skin.
He thought he was just getting married for convenience. Who knew he would meet the right person?
Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting.
Important note: Helium balloons are flammable and can explode, so please avoid buying them if possible.
Content warning: Mpreg, mpreg, mpreg, repeated three times! A brainless, sugary-sweet story, a self-indulgent creation. I'm a sucker for love after an arranged marriage, so don't read if that's not your thing. Love you all, mwah!
Theme: Don't let life's hardships defeat you. Be brave and build a happy life.
