The undisputed head of the group, the man is powerful and untouchable, with a ruthless, decisive way of doing things. People say he's uninterested in women, cold, and desireless. Qin Yining knows that all too well. When it comes to intimacy, she considers him a taciturn, no-nonsense man. Months into their marriage, their intimate encounters are limited to Wednesdays and Saturdays, without exception. Qin Yining is quite satisfied with this arrangement. After all, their marriage is a matter of mutual convenience. All she wants from the man is his money and power. Until things begin to spiral out of control. The man throws the divorce agreement into the shredder and grips her chin. “Yinyin, how am I not as good as him?” Qin Yining improvises. “I don't like cold, passionless men.” The man's gaze visibly deepens. That night, he bends over her again and again, whispering in her ear, “Yinyin, tell me you want it.” Only then does Qin Yining realize that his cold restraint and disinterest in women were all lies! One late night, after Qin Yining has fully experienced the man's rotten side, she takes the agreement and pushes open the study door. “Shen Qingshi, maybe we should go back to our old Wednesday and Saturday schedule...” “Yinyin.” The man interrupts her gently. “I'll help you get your fresh fruit shop listed, and I'll help you open your bakery all over the country.” Qin Yining presses her lips together and hides the agreement behind her back. “Getting listed... must be pretty difficult, right?” “Not difficult.” The man pulls her into his arms, his voice low and seductive. “Yinyin, we haven't tried the study yet.” As Qin Yining calls him a “jerk,” the man sweeps the troublesome papers aside and looks down with a quiet laugh. “Yinyin, you have no idea what a real jerk is like.” #Marriage first, love later × Marriage of convenience #A sweet story of flirtation and tension between mature adults Coming soon: Marry Me Under the Moonlight.

Marriage first, love later × A long-planned romance The day Lin Mingyue is told she isn't the Lin family's biological daughter, her fiancé calls off their engagement. That night, her car breaks down on a desolate mountain road, and Chen Jinshen takes her home. The man hands her an agreement. “I need a fiancée. If you want to leave the Lin family, we can make a deal.” Chen Jinshen is the head of the Chen family. Cool and dignified, decisive and ruthless, he is untouchable in the eyes of outsiders. Lin Mingyue has only met him a few times at banquets. His offer surprises her a little. Everyone in their circle knows she's spoiled, willful, and spends money like water. She doesn't believe Chen Jinshen could be unaware of it. “Sorry, I don't know how to do anything but spend money,” Lin Mingyue says, politely turning him down. “After we marry, you can have half of everything I own.” The man's voice is cool and even as he speaks unhurriedly. “Any other concerns?” Lin Mingyue presses her lips together. “How much do you own?” The agreement is finalized, with the wedding set for six months later. Lin Mingyue moves into Chen Jinshen's home. The cohabitation of two strangers is bound to be chaotic. After being woken up by the man coming home late for the Nth time, Lin Mingyue angrily starts packing her suitcase. As she leaves, she sees the man neatly organizing the shopping bags she's carelessly tossed aside. Suddenly, she isn't angry anymore. “Could you come home earlier from now on?” The man studies her suitcase for a moment, then nods. “I thought my wife wouldn't miss me.” “That's not what I meant.” The man carries the suitcase back into the bedroom, his eyes gentle. “All right. From now on, I'll do as you say.” Late one night, Lin Mingyue grabs the man's wandering hand. “Didn't you say you'd do as I say?” “Yes, my wife. Except for this.” The man's voice turns husky. “Don't expect a man who's coveted you for years to suddenly become a gentleman.” One day, Lin Mingyue finds a photograph of herself as a teenager in Chen Jinshen's wallet. Snow stretches as far as the eye can see. She walks through it, with the full moon hanging overhead. On the back of the photo, he has written in bold strokes: “Moonlight enters the high tower, its radiance drifting far away. The beauty's heart is like a silken thread, stretching a thousand miles.” It turns out he really has loved her for years.
