A Slow-Burning Romance (Married First, Love Later)

Blurb: She thought she was just the most ordinary girl in the crowd, someone guys wouldn’t look twice at on the street. She hated socializing and going out, and all she wanted was to curl up in her own world and watch anime or read manga. She never imagined that the boy she’d had a crush on throughout high school would one day stand in front of her and ask, "Would you marry me?"

At the time, he needed a suitable wife. Ideally, she’d keep a low profile, and she fit all his requirements.

She knew he was only using her, but when she looked at the person she’d liked for so many years, she got carried away and said yes.

After that, she did her best to play the part of a good wife. She didn’t make a fuss when he stayed away from home, and when she overheard his friends privately discussing how he’d dump her once their contract expired, she said nothing.

But later, he was still dissatisfied. She felt terribly wronged. She’d done everything she could, and she still wasn’t a good wife?

She was so upset she was about to cry. She thought, I don’t want to be his wife anymore. He has so many demands. Let someone else do it. But then she heard him sigh helplessly.

Why was he sighing?!

"A good wife doesn’t have to worry about anything. She only has to worry about me."

Her: "!!!!"

She looked up and met his tender gaze.

"I’m more than happy to let you take care of me."
