■ His secret crush | The second male lead gets the girl | Male rivals fighting to steal her away

■ A masterful flirt x a devoted, charming rogue

■ Jing Sui x Duan Yueyou

1.

To repay her adoptive parents, Jing Sui followed the family creed from a young age and worked hard to marry into the powerful Duan family.

So when the second young master of the Duan family, Duan Chen, was fifteen, Jing Sui personally made him soup.

At eighteen, he caught the confession letter she'd folded into a paper airplane, in front of a crowd of onlookers.

At twenty-one, he gazed into Jing Sui's alluring eyes and promised with a smile that he would marry her.

But later, he joked around with his friends, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

"As if I'd really marry her. A woman like that is only good for keeping around for fun."

Jing Sui stood silently behind the door, listening, her fingertips turning white.

Later, at Duan Chen's engagement banquet, he made the rounds with drinks and was forced to respectfully address Jing Sui as his sister-in-law.

After the banquet, his stomach condition flared up, but he still knelt outside her door and pleaded hoarsely, "Come home with me, Sui Sui."

The door opened. A man with smiling, roguish eyes wrapped an arm possessively around Jing Sui's waist.

"If you're sick, go see a doctor. What are you doing looking for my wife?"

3.

The day Jing Sui had no way out and signed a marriage contract with the Duan family's eldest son, Duan Yueyou, her usually steady hand trembled despite her efforts to control it.

She couldn't fathom the towering influence behind him, much less what he wanted from this losing deal.

Until one day, Jing Sui opened the bottom drawer of his study and found a stack of love letters addressed to her.

Only then did she learn that he had snatched the soup she'd made when she was fifteen and drunk every last drop.

That he had kept the paper airplane she'd folded at eighteen between the pages of a book for years.

And that at twenty-six, after putting in no small amount of effort, he had finally married her openly and brought her home.

"The path you took by mistake"

"Was the embrace I'd been plotting for all along"

tips:

1. A classic melodramatic battle for the heroine. You can criticize me, but don't criticize my characters. If you don't like it, don't be cruel.

2. Both leads have only been with each other. The heroine knows exactly what she wants. They genuinely date in the early part, and she gives up decisively later.

3. The story is love after marriage from the heroine's perspective, and a secret crush coming true from the hero's.
