[Main story complete] This novel's couple: a gentle, reserved, old-fashioned professional x a gorgeous older woman who acts sweet and charming and loves to flirt [Main story complete] To fend off her family's endless pressure to get married, Jiang Wanyu reluctantly went on a blind date. But when the private room door opened, someone familiar walked in. Ming Jiyue, two years ahead of her in high school and a renowned three-time Best Actress in the entertainment industry. Her ex-girlfriend, too. Was this the blind date her family had arranged for her? After exchanging a few polite words, Jiang Wanyu realized she'd gone into the wrong room. She turned to leave, but Ming Jiyue called after her. "Would you consider me instead?" And so, the two got married in a flash. * Before the wedding, they'd agreed to a marriage of convenience, with no feelings involved. It didn't take long after the wedding for Jiang Wanyu to realize something was off about her new wife. Jiang Wanyu was busy with work when Ming Jiyue appeared before her in a newly bought dress. Snow-white skin, a swaying red dress. "Do I look good?" Jiang Wanyu's heart stirred, but the next moment, she frowned. "It's not even 20 degrees today." Ming Jiyue: "Hm?" "Aren't you cold?" Jiang Wanyu said, grabbing a thick coat. Before Ming Jiyue could react, she slipped it over her. Seeing the delicate beauty who looked ready to freeze wrapped up like a warm dumpling, Jiang Wanyu finally relaxed her furrowed brow. "Much better." Ming Jiyue: ... * That night, Jiang Wanyu was getting ready for bed when Ming Jiyue moved closer. Her slender fingers rested on her wife's shoulder, her eyes shimmering with alluring warmth. "Wanyu, you're going to sleep already? It's still early. What if we..." Before she could finish, Jiang Wanyu's ears turned faintly red. Still, she desperately tried to stay composed, took a deep breath, and looked at the woman beside her. "Between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m., the gallbladder metabolizes and the bone marrow produces blood." The abrupt change of subject left Ming Jiyue bewildered. "And?" "That needs to happen while you're asleep." Afraid Ming Jiyue would notice something was wrong, she immediately turned off the light and lay down. Ming Jiyue: ? Seven years ago, Jiang Wanyu was a well-behaved student who only cared about studying. Seven years later, she'd become an old-fashioned professional through and through. Ming Jiyue didn't know that, after the lights went out that night, the woman beside her was blushing furiously. * Jiang Wanyu, a renowned architect, joined the same variety show as Ming Jiyue as a non-celebrity guest. During filming, the two acted flirtatiously and were close. Viewers became fans, then started shipping them. They're dating, right? They have to be dating!!! During a livestream, Ming Jiyue was asked about their relationship. "Fans suspect you and Ms. Jiang Wanyu are a couple. What do you think?" Ming Jiyue smiled slyly. "Of course we're not." That night, the moment she got home, Ming Jiyue was swept off her feet and carried to the bed. Ming Jiyue teased her, "It's past ten. You're still awake?" Jiang Wanyu kissed her lips. For once, her usually placid expression was full of indignation. "I want to make it clear to Mrs. Jiang exactly what our relationship is." The next day, well past noon. After spending the whole night making their relationship clear to Ming Jiyue, Jiang Wanyu watched as she posted a clarification. We're not lovers, we're soulmates. @Jiang Wanyu P.S.: 1. Same-sex marriage is legal. Mutual pining, marriage first, love later. 1v1, happy ending. 2. The setting is all in service of the leads' relationship and the story, so don't overthink the logic (logic? Never heard of her). 3. There shouldn't be any major common triggers. The female leads have some misunderstandings, but they get resolved. It's 1v1 all the way through, with no one else involved. 4. Thanks to everyone reading, my darlings. Love you all! This novel will enter VIP serialization on September 11, with extra-long chapters to thank you for your support~ -- Upcoming novel: My Best Friend Is Always Plotting Against Me -- Is there anything more terrifying than waking up to discover you're the heroine of a novel? Answer: Yes. Your best friend is the other heroine. Chu Weiyue drew in a sharp breath. "But we're both straight." She'd never been in a situation like this and had no idea what to do. She decided to keep it strictly secret for now and preserve the pure friendship she shared with her best friend. But after learning the truth, Chu Weiyue started noticing that her best friend was acting more and more strangely. * Chu Weiyue was having a rough time at work and drowning her sorrows in alcohol. Jiang Yiqiu comforted her softly, kissing away the tears on her lashes. "Don't cry. I'll always be here for you." Overwhelmed by a work proposal, Chu Weiyue knocked on Jiang Yiqiu's door. "Qiuqiu, save me." Jiang Yiqiu smiled. "Give me a kiss, and I'll help you." In the end, Jiang Yiqiu even climbed into her bed in the middle of the night. "Go ahead." Chu Weiyue stared at the thing she'd put in her hand, eyes wide with shock. "What is this? Aren't we best friends? Isn't this kind of inappropriate?" Jiang Yiqiu kissed her lips. "What's inappropriate about it? It's just best friends helping each other out." * But later, when things spiraled completely out of control, Chu Weiyue finally decided to tell Jiang Yiqiu the truth so they could figure out a solution together and preserve their friendship. Chu Weiyue solemnly told her dear best friend everything. Chu Weiyue: "Qiuqiu, I have good news and bad news. I have to tell you both." Jiang Yiqiu: "Go on." "We're living in a novel, and you're the heroine." "But your destined partner is your dear best friend, me." "Oh," Jiang Yiqiu replied flatly. "You've told me the good news. What's the bad news?" Chu Weiyue: ...? Couple: outwardly straight, ditzy puppy-like top x gentle, flirtatious bottom Best friends to lovers, 1v1, happy ending Theme: True lovers are destined to end up together
