After the Socially Anxious One Marries a Scheming Tycoon

Xu Yi is socially anxious, so to avoid socializing, he chose to become a streamer. A wallflower offline but a social butterfly online, he's a popular singer on a livestreaming platform! People outside the family all say the Xu family's youngest son has been spoiled rotten and is hopelessly addicted to games!

To help his family out, Xu Yi lied to them, saying he had a crush on Song Weiyang and wanted to marry him.

Song Weiyang is a social butterfly who can handle any occasion with ease. But as the CEO of the Song Group, he doesn't need to socialize proactively. He's surrounded by people who are smooth and capable in every situation. The Song and Xu families have an arranged marriage agreement, and everyone assumed Song Weiyang would marry the Xu family's eldest daughter, a clever, capable, and beautiful woman. No one expected him to specifically ask to marry the Xu family's youngest son.

The reason was simple: Song Weiyang had no interest in putting effort into a marriage. He needed a partner who was absorbed in his own hobbies, wouldn't cling to him, and could live with him in mutual respect.

As it turned out, his sharp eye for investments was just as sharp when it came to choosing a spouse. Xu Yi fit his requirements perfectly.

After the wedding.

As long as Song Weiyang was home, Xu Yi never left his "gaming room";

Many times, Xu Yi would be eating at the table, then spot him coming home, immediately put down his chopsticks, and run back to his room;

After six months of marriage under the same roof, Song Weiyang had seen Xu Yi only a handful of times, let alone been clung to by him.

Song Weiyang should have been perfectly satisfied with this. But when he accidentally learned that Xu Yi had married him because he had a crush on him, he initially wanted a divorce. Later, he decided he could try to develop feelings for Xu Yi. But once he realized he liked Xu Yi, he learned that Xu Yi had never had a crush on him at all.

Song Weiyang, who had tripped himself up, was furious. But he wasn't the type to settle for unrequited love. To make Xu Yi fall for him, the decisive, ruthless man who ruled the business world with an icy expression became this at home:

Song Weiyang: Xu Yi, come here and help me with my tie.

Xu Yi: I... I don't know how.

Song Weiyang: Come here. I'll teach you!

Xu Yi resisted with all his might: I don't want to learn.

Song Weiyang: Xu Yi, from today on, you're moving into my bedroom!

Xu Yi: Could I... not move in? I'm... used to sleeping alone.

Song Weiyang: Then you'll get used to sleeping with someone else, little by little!

Xu Yi, thinking: I can't get used to it! (Later, when Song Weiyang was away on a business trip and Xu Yi was home alone, he messaged him: Hubby, I can't sleep by myself.)

One day, Song Weiyang accidentally entered a livestream. The streamer was "talking about a friend" with great emotion, ranting:

When he gets dressed, I have to tie his tie for him. When he takes a bath, I have to run the bathwater for him... Now he's even telling me to move into his room. I'm so mad!!! What do you think, guys? Is this friend even worth keeping?

Fans: What's going on? Why do I feel like you and your friend are such a great ship?

Song Weiyang: Why does this streamer's voice sound more and more familiar? It sounds like Xu Yi.

Song Weiyang pushed open the door to the "gaming room," which hadn't been shut properly. Xu Yi was wearing headphones, furiously arguing with a hater: "To the person who said the streamer is such a fake, sickly mom type, and disgusting: don't you dare leave! If I don't give your parents a lesson in raising you today, I don't deserve to be called the number-one clapback streamer on Xixi!" His impassioned voice matched the one coming from the phone livestreaming beside him...

Song Weiyang: Is this the same wife who used to be too shy to even lift his head in front of me, spoke in a whisper, and was extremely socially anxious?

Upcoming Novel 1: A Small-Town Heartbeat. Blurb:

After his sexual orientation was exposed, Shu Luo transferred from a major city to a tiny backwater town. There, he met the love of his life, Yan Yuan.

Sweet, gentle sunshine recipient VS. tough, taciturn, handsome delinquent gong

Upcoming Novel 2: Every Crime Leaves a Trace [Crime Investigation]. Blurb:

Xia Zheqing spent eight years undercover in the Golden Triangle, earning countless commendations through life-and-death ordeals. After completing his mission, the only thing he asked his superiors for was a transfer to the criminal investigation team of Nanshi Municipal Public Security Bureau.

His superior didn't understand. "You have plenty of better options. Why choose Nanshi?"

The young man, his expression calm, offered no further explanation. Nanshi was the calamity he could never escape in this lifetime.

Han Huaixiao, captain of the criminal investigation team at Nanshi Municipal Public Security Bureau, confronted Yan Zheng, the bureau chief. "You can't assign him to our team."

Yan Zheng: "Why not?"

Han Huaixiao gritted his teeth. "He's my ex-boyfriend. The kind I have a serious grudge against."

Han Huaixiao is a famous name in the department: from a wealthy family, successful and handsome, a walking bundle of hormones. The only blemish on his life is that when he was 25, his ex-boyfriend dumped him after a night together, claiming he was no good in bed.

One murder case after another reveals the cruel truths hidden beneath the surface of calm, and uncovers the reason a couple who once pursued justice were forced apart for eight years.

A wily old fox gong whose scowl terrifies people and whose smile makes their livers tremble, with unfathomable schemes VS. a steadfast, patient recipient who never scowls and can't even be bothered to give someone a look when annoyed

P.S. 1. The cases, main and supporting characters, and place names in this story are all fictional.

2. Neither lead has a perfect personality. They are four years apart. Both are each other's only partners. Happy ending.
