Coming soon: Not Quite Close After Marriage
Characters: A polished scoundrel who treats life as a game vs. an innocent, bright, pure-hearted young woman. Please add it to your favorites!
Yan Zhixi was the youngest and most beautiful little-known goddess in the Western European oil painting world. Proud and aloof, she had countless older brothers and rich second-generation heirs pursuing her.
She could only laugh at the absurdity and turned them all down.
Some people refused to take no for an answer, like the top playboy of the Xie family in the capital.
Outside the alley, a refined, aloof man in a severe suit leaned against a Koenigsegg. The flame of his glossy black lighter flared a brilliant crimson.
The light reflected off his thin lips and cool eyes, giving him the look of a breathtakingly handsome, born-to-be-a-scumbag type, dazzling in the night
“Yan Zhixi.”
He toyed with his phone in his long, bony fingers and spoke lazily, laughing at the person on the other end of the call. “You can be mad at me, but what’s the point of stealing my keys?”
“You want your husband standing out on the street in the middle of the night, hmm?” He was laughing because he was exasperated.

Xie Fengqing had always been ruthless. He had the face of a heartless playboy, and when news broke that he’d married young, no one in their circle took it seriously.
It was probably just a business arrangement. Rich married couples always did their own thing. Who could control the other, anyway?
His friends kept trying to set him up with women as usual, but then
“My wife won’t let me. Never mind.”
He was so serious it was hard to believe. The man who used to have wine spilled all over his shirts and suits now fastened a metal button high at his neck. He looked chaste, yet with a suggestive curl to his lips, he said, “She’s been too clingy lately, keeping a close eye on me.”
Friend: ...Isn’t your wife Yan Zhixi?
: Hasn’t she been sick of your philandering ways for ages?
: Who loves you? Say that again?!

Yan Zhixi had actually known Xie Fengqing for a long time.
He’d been famous since they were in high school.
The only son and grandson of a wealthy family conglomerate, the top male model and star of the Xie family’s school.
A dazzling, heaven-blessed young man, impossible not to notice.
Later, amid skyscrapers piercing the clouds, in the extravagant, dazzling Global Financial Center, she asked for his help at a black-and-gold mahjong table beside the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 87th floor.
Under the man’s cool, appraising gaze, the business marriage somehow fell into place, though only after a long moment and a mocking laugh from him.
At first, Yan Zhixi thought he was making fun of her.
It was a long time before she found out he’d been in love with her for years.
That laugh had been the bittersweet sound of finally getting what he wanted.

Core message: Independence
Is it written too lightly? Maybe that's what I should say. I feel like nothing has been explained clearly, including the heroine's character, illness, family, the hero and Xie Er, family relationships, and grandfather's preference. It's all explained in a few short sentences... I feel like I've read a more detailed outline [Make Me Kangkang]
Oh my god, these two make living a good life more important than anything else! Can you please write more post-marriage extras? I can't bear to do it.
Write more about Tiantian's daily life after marriage, not campus if
Damn, in which chapter is the first paragraph of copy? I didn't see it.
I finally finished reading it, but I didn't expect that the heroine would have to coax her back in the end. The hero felt indifferent most of the time, and would become cold-faced when they disagreed. If I hadn't emphasized several times how much it would cost the hero to agree to the marriage, I started to wonder if I had misremembered the character of the novel. What I was reading was actually a secret love story.
Yay! Is there a campus if line in Da Da? I especially want to see the ambiguous young master and Xixi in high school????
Ah, ah, no, this is too little. Wow, wow, wow. Didn't you have a baby episode?
Oh my god, it's over before we even fall in love. Why don't you write more sweet things?
Dad, didn't you say you won't divorce???
When can I remarry? I don't want to be abused 😭
