A dazzling, bold CEO big sister who's devoted to her career, wants beauty but not romance X a cold at first, clingy later, devious, jealous younger man
Marriage first, love later + a two-stage chase-your-wife crematorium
*
Li Li, the industry's number-one workaholic, the golden child everyone else's parents compared them to, and the ultimate singleton, suddenly got married.
Her husband was the second son of the Lin family, a nonconformist playboy with a refined taste for luxury cars, watches, and antiques. He should have been racing straight toward the peak of the playboy life.
But he liked neither women nor men. His profession was digging up people's ancestral graves, with his face toward the earth and his back to the sky.
"A marriage of convenience," a gossip reporter said with absolute certainty. "The odds of these two feeling a spark are lower than the odds of tying two pandas together and getting a reaction."
"Exactly," Li Li told her best friend. "But he really is gorgeous, and I don't need him to support me. Who doesn't love a beautiful decorative husband?"

"Let's go racing tonight ... Wait, you're a married man now." His buddy made a big fuss. "Do you have a curfew too?"
"Quit joking. She and I are just getting what we want from each other." The young, powerful second son of the Lin family wore a cool expression. "Come on, which track are we going to?"
At nine that night, beneath a dim streetlamp, Lin Tian took off his helmet and sat on the cold steps after taking the lead. He gritted his teeth as he spoke into the phone.
"Li Li, do you have any idea what time it is? Could you at least call and tell me to come home?"
His friends were floored. So much for getting what they wanted from each other!
"That's right," Lin Tian said, entirely unapologetic. "We each get what we want. She wants my looks, and I want her love."
Reading guide:
1. A two-stage crematorium: one for the pre-romance act of playing hard to get, and one for the youthful torment of being caught in the trolley problem, torn between two choices and helpless to do anything.
2. The man suffers.
3. Both leads are each other's first love, and both are sexually inexperienced.
