A marriage between wealthy families, love after marriage
Wen Ta, just like her name, had lived in an ivory tower built for her by her elders all her life. Almost nothing had ever gone wrong for her.
Until she was twenty-two, fresh out of university and back in the country, when a family-arranged marriage forced her to marry a man she found utterly beneath her:
At their first meeting, the man gave her a thirteen-carat sapphire, claiming it was one of a kind in the world, just like love and her.
At their second meeting, he gave her a collection of Tagore's poems and said he would support all her dreams of poetry and faraway places, spending his life as her devoted believer.
At their third meeting, he took her to their new home, a five-story villa in the city center. He left the fourth and fifth floors unfinished and said she could decide everything herself and use them as her studio...
Almost everyone said she was lucky. Her family had spoiled her in the first half of her life, and her husband would support her in the second. She would never have to worry about anything.
Only Wen Ta knew how much she had to put up with.
The man who slept beside her every day was crude and uncouth, and loved money more than life itself. He knew nothing about identifying sapphires or about art, yet he insisted on pretending otherwise, discussing Monet and starry skies with her every day.
She was proud and aloof, and had always looked down on men like him.
In the first year of her marriage to Xiao Li, Wen Ta thought that sooner or later, she would have to divorce him. She simply couldn't stand living like this another day.
In the second year of her marriage to Xiao Li, Wen Ta thought that if Xiao Li could change some of his bad habits, then perhaps there was no need to rush into a divorce. She would find the right time to talk to him about it gently, without upsetting him.
In the third year of her marriage to Xiao Li, Wen Ta thought that if Xiao Li were just a little more cultured, she might be able to, with some reluctance, spend the rest of her life with him.
In the fourth year of her marriage to Xiao Li, Wen Ta felt that she might have started to like him a little...

P.S. Neither lead is perfect. Readers looking for perfect characters may want to skip this.
Theme: Mutual understanding
It's a very, very nice book. If any readers read my review, please feel free to order it all! The plot is not complicated and is very interesting to read. It is a sweet story, with two virgins and two first loves, the male protagonist is an orphan, and there is no doubt that there is a mistress, the sexual tension is full of body differences, a delicate flower × a rough guy CEO. The cold heroine looks noble, but in fact she is soft and fragile inside. She always talks duplicity and shrinks herself into a hard body. Fortunately, the male protagonist is a person who is willing to knock on the door again and again, and climb up when given a pole. The degree of shamelessness is outrageous 🥺. The characters of the pretty young lady and the rough-and-tumble CEO are so sweet. I really hate that it's not a post 😭, but the author's writing is very good, and there's enough trash in it. Naughty people really need a steadfast lover! Mr. Xiao's love is so hot and touching! I really wanted to cry when I saw the end of it. The author's writing of the loyal dog-type male protagonist was so vivid that I could completely feel his heart beating for the female protagonist. The flow of the whole article is very smooth, and the emotional transitions are touching and not stiff. You can see the mental journey of the male and female protagonists from running into love. The life of the male protagonist in this article completely begins with meeting the female protagonist. Mr. Xiao has a rough yet gentle personality, tough yet considerate. A person with absolutely no artistic talent is willing to change for the heroine's preferences. He learns flower arranging and everything he has never done before and is totally not good at. He never asked her to do anything because he was willing to cater to her sincerity. It's a complete interpretation of the tiger sniffing the rose. The male protagonist is determined to change anything for the female protagonist, and his enthusiasm is desperate without asking for anything in return. He is simply a perfect character! The current collection of this book in my heart cannot compare to the excitement and joy it brings me. [Afraid] I hope more people can read it!
The whole book seemed okay, but the child didn't have the heroine's surname…
This is really my top 3 book this year. There is nothing to hate about the sea, the direction is very comfortable, and the name Qinggao is particularly suitable! I originally hated watching Marriage First, Love Later, but the teacher wrote the "inappropriateness" very well. Every step Tata took towards Xiao Li was comforting. They are such beautiful and cute people! Like cats and dogs, Xiao Li really doesn't feel like a dog sculpture to me, it's just a dog transformed into a human being, hahahaha. His love is really passionate, and it may not be perfect, but his own personality charm makes me feel that it is not terrible to be inappropriate, and all difficulties can be easily solved! Although Tata is "noble", he has never been avoidant. He will respond immediately after seeing his heart clearly. Although he can be duplicitous (really like a kitten), a big dog can understand those pride and soft-heartedness. Cats and dogs just want to be together! This is a rule passed down from our ancestors 😆 😆 😆 😆 Dad's line is also very well written. Tata sees it clearly. Lin only loves himself, so he doesn't want such a thing to happen to him. He is also noble, and Tata makes a different choice and runs in both directions with the person who truly loves him. Tata is an obvious realist, always a little too calm, while dogs are idealists full of hope. In the beginning, dogs always bow their heads because of love, which is how they let cats know that they are loved. They feel soft again and again, and the two hearts are getting closer and closer 🤩 🤩 It makes me feel really soft-hearted.
Have you come back to read this book again after half a year? I really find it fresh every time I read it. [Orange Candy] Got it
The author is so good-looking that one extra chapter is not enough 😳
Read it in one sitting. It's great!
I actually waited for the welfare extra episode
It looks good, but the system won't let me give it a five-star rating, so I won't give it a rating [Chigua]
It's a good read and I decided to read it after seeing the thoughtful and long review. Sure enough, only novels have such a character as the protagonist 😭
Throw flowers! ~It's very beautiful. I look forward to reading this article.
