Marriage first, love later / wealthy family romance / secret love comes true / sweet romance

Pampered, radiant little princess × pure-hearted, elegant tycoon

1.

When Liang Sui returned to the country, Xu Pan was already dazzling in front of the cameras.

Three months into their marriage, Xu Pan did everything she could to avoid him, but under the Empress Dowager's decree, Liang Sui made a grand entrance into her home.

Princess Xu stood at a distance, watching him warily. "You are only allowed in the guest room and living room."

Liang Sui lowered his eyes, his smile unreadable. "But I sleepwalk at night. I can't guarantee which room I might wander into."

That very night, Xu Pan installed a security chain on her door.

2.

Xu Pan had no idea where she'd heard about Liang Sui's secret. In a panic, she suddenly decided to get him drunk, hoping to hear him tell the truth after a few drinks.

Liang Sui was famous for holding his liquor. That night, after Xu Pan had forced five bottles of strong liquor on him, he finally couldn't help laughing.

His long arm wrapped around her slender waist. His almond-shaped eyes narrowed, their scarlet depths wild. His breath, heavy with alcohol, brushed against her cheek.

"If there's something you want to hear, you can just ask me. Do you really have to drink me to death tonight?"

Xu Pan's heart raced as she lost herself in his gentle gaze.

"When did you fall in love with me?"

At that, the man lowered his eyes and smiled. The enticing curve of his lips set her heart aflutter.

"I don't remember."

"Maybe it was when you secretly kissed me at the age of five."

"Amid the ebb and flow of hardship, you hear the mountains and sea answering each other, and you hear me say I love you."

PS:

1. Both leads are inexperienced.

2. The male lead is four years older than the female lead.

3. The author's writing is pretty bad. If it's not for you, just click the X~

[Blurb for Treasure Island Town]

Duan Ci knew perfectly well that Shen Yan couldn't stand people who acted overly familiar with him.

But even with all her enthusiasm, she also had an unusually long reaction time.

After a basketball game, Duan Ci brought Shen Yan some water, then turned around and handed a bottle to each of his friends.

To her surprise, after Shen Yan saw his friends tilt their heads back and drink, he angrily shoved the water back into her arms and walked away alone.

Duan Ci: "He's kind of difficult, huh?"

His friends stared at her: "..."

He's practically written the words "I'm jealous" across his face. How can you not see it?
