A shy, naturally airheaded, honest girl x a max-level, seductive incubus heartthrob
Marriage before love / clashing personalities / contrasting physiques / attentive male lead / male lead acts like he's the third-ranked official spouse
1.
Jin Lin is one of the most ordinary, honest girls in the world.
She follows the path her parents planned for her, lands a secure civil-service job after graduation, and is about to marry Wei Wen, her childhood friend who knows her inside out, so they can spend their lives raising a family together.
But then she runs into the most melodramatic thing in the world:
Her fiancé runs away from the wedding.
And recommends a new husband for her.
Wei Wen says solemnly over the phone, "We only have revolutionary camaraderie. How could we get married? Don't worry, I've found you someone. He's 190 centimeters tall, built like two doors, and so pure he could drip water. You two are perfect for each other."
To escape gossip and an endless stream of matchmaking attempts, Jin Lin marries the man Wei Wen recommended.
His name is Song Liyu. He's Wei Wen's university friend, 190 centimeters tall, with chiseled features, perfect abs, and a V-shaped torso. She's very pleased with him, not only because he's handsome and has a clean romantic history, but because he politely and considerately offers her his medical exam results when they meet.
The only downside is that his sex drive is so strong that she can barely keep up with him after they're married.
He's always acting cute and asking for kisses, biting his shirt and asking her to feel his abs, then sweet-talking her with tender looks, but he never wants to stop. Every time afterward, he asks her in detail how she felt and whether she was satisfied.
Jin Lin thinks nobody's perfect. Compared to bad behavior like cheating, a strong sex drive is something she can tolerate. But his possessiveness grows stronger too, and he can barely stand to let her out of his sight.
"Baby, you only said 'I love you' seven times today."
"Baby, you didn't kiss me when you left. Does that mean you don't want me anymore?"

Song Liyu has always been the center of attention.
The club he's in is packed every year, and his electives are always full. This outstanding young man, however, falls for his friend Wei Wen's girlfriend.
Jin Lin speaks softly and sweetly on video calls. The one time he meets her in person at a party, she's even sweeter and more beautiful than on screen.
Watching Wei Wen interact with her makes Song Liyu's heart grow darker and darker. But those feelings can't be brought into the light. He has to go to great lengths and tread carefully just to exchange a few words with her, then savor the moment for ages.
Until one day, Wei Wen calls out his despicable feelings.
After learning they'd broken up, Song Liyu spends the whole night in the cold, coming to terms with the fact that he has "come between a couple." Early the next morning, he stands before Jin Lin holding flowers.
Since he stole her away, he might as well see it through to the end.
