Married, But Not Twice [Romance]

[Blurb] A realistic romance about marriage. Enter with caution.

For the first 26 years of Qin Zheng's life, ever since she could remember, she had never worn a skirt, grown her hair long, or dated. Men? She wasn't interested.

Before meeting Qiu Zheng, Qin Zheng would never have imagined, even at gunpoint, that she would become someone completely different and deliberately get close to a man.

What she could never have imagined was that this unexpected marriage would be a poor fit.

Two months after the wedding, she finally thought it through and decided to get divorced.

Did she regret it? Yes. She regretted how irrational she had been to marry in haste, as if hormones had taken over her brain.

Did she regret it? No. She knew she had gained his love, and that was enough.

For the first 29 years of Qiu Zheng's life, everything had been proper and orderly. When it was time to study, he never went out to have fun; when it was time to work, he never complained.

But when he reached the age to get married, every matchmaking attempt ended in failure. Only after meeting Qin Zheng did he understand why nothing had worked out before.

A twist of fate finally made Qiu Zheng throw caution to the wind and drag Qin Zheng off to register their marriage.

At the time, he was sure he would never let Qin Zheng suffer any grievance.

Only after the divorce did he understand that he had been the one to hurt her most.

Did he regret it? Yes. He regretted realizing it too late and growing up too slowly.

Did he regret it? No. He would never regret marrying Qin Zheng.

If you've missed your chance, go win her back.

Reading guide:
