We Can't Get Divorced After Our Contract Marriage

Bian Yi and Ban Sui have never gotten along. Even when they were still in their cradles, little Bian Yi hit little Ban Sui with a toy hammer. Their grudge only grew deeper from there. Whenever they meet, they bicker, and they can't stand the sight of each other. But their families have been as close as life-and-death comrades since their grandparents' generation. The two were betrothed before they were even born. Neither of them wanted the marriage, so they decided to marry by agreement for three months, then go their separate ways when the term was up. Bian Yi's face twists. "When the term's over, we'll divorce. Until then, we'll live our own lives and stay out of each other's business. Whoever crosses the line is the loser." Ban Sui chuckles. "Grandpa agrees." The premarital agreement sounds all well and good, but life is full of things no one can control. One day, Ban Sui drinks something spiked. As the people around him grin maliciously, he grits his teeth and says, "...I've got a wife." Then he staggers away and turns a corner, running right into Bian Yi, who's also there. Bian Yi doesn't know what's going on, but he's always been happy to enjoy Ban Sui's discomfort. He folds his arms and stands by, wearing a teasing grin, ready to enjoy the show. Ban Sui struggles to lift his head, his mind turning like a bowl of paste... What's that? A beautiful wife. Legal. ...Let's do it. The three-month agreement soon expires, but neither of them, who once wished the other would move to another planet, mentions divorce. Looking at the little red marriage certificate in front of him, Bian Yi lets out a cold laugh. "What do you call me?" Ban Sui cuddles up to him. "Wifey." "Wrong." "Grandpa..." Bian Yi is satisfied.
