Complete "Airhead (heroine) x Grump (hero)" "Slow-witted, sweet-natured research girl x ultra-handsome, love-struck veterinarian" "Married first, fall in love later / everyday life / light and sweet" While pursuing her doctorate, Wen Shuyu took her advisor's dog to get neutered and ran into her high school classmate, Lu Zhirang. Lu Zhirang came from a prominent family. The second son of the Lu Kang Group, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he was also the owner of a well-known chain of pet hospitals in H City. He was young, handsome, and wealthy. Later, after their families introduced them, she somehow ended up marrying Lu Zhirang. After the wedding, Wen Shuyu kept up her old routine completely. Sometimes, she even forgot that she had someone else by her side. Until one day, she realized that Lu Zhirang seemed to be unhappy all the time, giving her the cold shoulder every few days. Wen Shuyu shut her laptop and asked him directly, "Do you have a problem with me?" Lu Zhirang lowered his eyes, looking at the books and papers piled into a small mountain on her desk, and the clean, fair little face buried in the middle of it. He turned away, his eyelids drooping. "Oh, no. Go ahead and get back to work." It was only... Three days in a row sleeping in the study while she worked on her thesis and ignored him, forgetting their wedding anniversary, accidentally flushing her wedding ring down the drain, staying up all night on the phone with an upperclassman to discuss a research project, and going a whole month without having sex (300 words omitted here). Yeah. He'd just have to put up with it. - Two months into their marriage, Lu Zhirang could take it no longer and decided to talk to her. "Wen Shuyu, I don't think you love me at all." Wen Shuyu was bewildered. Utterly bewildered. She blinked, looked at the man's puffed-up face, rose onto her tiptoes, and kissed his cheek. Her voice was soft and delicate. "Honey, I do love you." Lu Zhirang's heart began to race. In that instant, his mind filled with pink bubbles. What should he do? What should he do? He felt like he could put up with it again... 1.

As the man behind Wantai Real Estate, he was ruthless and cold-blooded, rarely seen in public, and deeply mysterious. Only a few people knew that Liang Xuzhi had an injury to his leg that made walking difficult, so he always got around in a wheelchair. Of course, this was also a taboo no one dared mention in his presence. - When Zhong Wan first arrived in Hong Kong, she was just an unknown actress. She and Liang Xuzhi were worlds apart, and she had never imagined that their paths might cross. Until one damp, rainy night, outside an upscale hotel, a black Bentley pulled up in front of her. The driver slowly rolled down the window and handed her a business card. She stole a hurried glance and caught sight of the exceptionally handsome man in the back seat, with his air of cool, noble detachment. That was the first time Zhong Wan met Liang Xuzhi. A few nights later, the man looked at her and said in a calm voice, "Miss Zhong, we can begin a relationship that gives us both what we want." - After that, when Zhong Wan was with Mr. Liang, she followed every rule he set. Even when passion took hold, she never crossed the line by so much as a fraction. Two years later, their relationship ended. She got everything she wanted, returned to Jing City as planned, and left Liang Xuzhi's world for good. To Zhong Wan, life in Hong Kong felt like an unreal dream. But she never expected Liang Xuzhi to show up in her hotel room a few days later. By the floor-to-ceiling window, the man sat in his wheelchair, a flame flickering at his fingertips. A faint smile played on his lips, but his gaze was colder than any she had ever seen. Liang Xuzhi stood up and slowly walked over to her, lifting her chin. "Did I say you could leave?" * Zhong Wan had never seen Mr. Liang lose control. Not until that night. Nor had she ever imagined that a man like him would take a promise she made in bad faith seriously. Beneath the hazy lights, she heard Liang Xuzhi's husky voice. His cold lips rested against the back of her neck as he said, "Wanwan, you promised you wouldn't leave me." Theme: Live life well.
