Marriage Before Love | Hero is two years older | Both leads are sexually inexperienced | No secret crushes, no long-planned schemes

1. Zhou Mo is the least-loved daughter of the Zhou family. Before her mother died, she arranged an enviable marriage for her: her groom would be Duan Chiyan, heir to the Duan Group.

Duan Chiyan has always been aloof and refined, a man of few words, like snow atop a high mountain, impossible to approach.

With an illustrious family, striking looks, and countless women from prominent families pursuing him, no one has ever caught his eye.

Zhou Mo had heard he wasn't keen on the marriage and was only giving in to pressure from his family. Knowing the gap between them, she diligently played the part of Mrs. Duan in name only.

Everyone in their social circle thought the marriage was just for show. Friends had seen him constantly traveling for work after the wedding, with the two living apart. It seemed Duan Chiyan had no affection for the wife his family had chosen for him, and plenty of people were waiting to laugh when Zhou Mo was thrown out of the family home.

2. On New Year's Day, Zhou Mo specially prepared dinner and waited eagerly for him to come home so they could ring in the new year together. But Duan Chiyan had to leave on a last-minute business trip.

By chance, she saw a girl sitting in Duan Chiyan's car. She realized she could never be his first choice.

That day, Duan Chiyan roughly seized her hands and pinned her to the bed, kissing her fiercely. “You hate me? You don't like me? Then why did you kiss me that day?”

3. Later, one day, a friend saw him make a long journey through wind and snow just to get back in time for her birthday. That day, he kissed the woman in his arms until the corners of her eyes were red, his voice low and husky. “I'll kiss you more later.”

His friends: What?!

It turned out that this time, not only had Young Master Duan fallen for someone, he was deeply in love.

Marriage Before Love, The Moon Surrenders. Blurb:

Yu Xing'en never dreamed she would end up marrying the high school heartthrob she'd had a crush on.

Even though Qin Yue said he would never fall for her and had only approached her to fend off his family's pressure to marry.

On her first ride to work in Qin Yue's car, Yu Xing'en had an erotic dream.

When she woke and tried to get out, Qin Yue stopped her. “Why were you just cursing at me?”

Blushing, Yu Xing'en lied: “I dreamed you turned into a dog and ate me.”

Qin Yue: ...

-

At first, Yu Xing'en thought it wouldn't matter if she and Qin Yue never developed feelings for each other. She was already happy just to be near him.

But later, Yu Xing'en finally realized that Qin Yue really would never love her. Even at their most intimate, he wouldn't spare her a second glance.

It turned out that briefly possessing something that was never yours could hurt so much.

Fortunately, this time she decided she wouldn't love him anymore.

-

After Yu Xing'en asked for a divorce, she thought Qin Yue would agree.

Instead, Qin Yue loosened his tie and slowly advanced on her, roughly binding her hands above her head. “Divorce? Don't even think about it in this lifetime.”

When Yu Xing'en was close to breaking, Qin Yue bit her viciously. “Didn't you dream I ate you? Then let's make your dream come true.”

Later, Yu Xing'en saw with her own eyes how the proud, cold-hearted Qin Yue bowed his head to her again and again.

The moon that had once seemed so far out of reach was one day willing to surrender at her feet.
