I Woke Up to Find I'd Married My Nemesis by Contract

Everyone knows that the person Jiang Luo, the young master of the Jiang family, hates most is Xie Shizhao of the Xie family.

The two of them are like fire and water. If nothing unexpected happens, they should go their whole lives without meeting or having anything to do with each other.

Jiang Luo thought so too.

Until one day, he heard two pieces of news.

First, Xie Shizhao had returned to the country.

Second, Xie Shizhao had been kicked out of the Xie family.

No one knew what Xie Shizhao had done, but the Xie family had thrown him out. He was homeless, a stray dog with nowhere to go.

Jiang Luo was overjoyed and immediately decided to go see Xie Shizhao in his miserable state.

His friends advised him to wait until he was sober.

As if! How could Jiang Luo pass up the perfect chance to mock him?

He was going to taunt and humiliate Xie Shizhao to his heart's content and finally get revenge.

Then, the next day

Jiang Luo woke up aching all over, one hand on his lower back. A marriage contract lay before him, bearing his signature.

His sworn enemy, Xie Shizhao, was lying beside him.

Jiang Luo: ???

Jiang Luo: !!!

He should have listened and waited until he was sober!

*

None of Jiang Luo's rowdy friends approved of his marriage to Xie Shizhao. They all thought the two would divorce before long.

After all, their relationship was so bad, and rumors said Xie Shizhao was always picking on Jiang Luo.

Then one day after the wedding, they saw Jiang Luo getting out of a car, limping.

Xie Shizhao was right beside him. The man's expression was cold, but his movements were tender as could be. He closed the car door with one hand and supported Jiang Luo with the other, coaxing him indulgently. "Next time, we really should do it fewer times."

[1]

Shen Qingran had been secretly in love with an older student for years. Unfortunately, he couldn't defy his parents, so he was forced into a business marriage with a stranger.

The night before meeting the man, a friend told Shen Qingran that the man supposedly hated people who were unruly and willful.

The next day, Shen Qingran showed up with flamboyant hair and enough jewelry to jingle with every step.

He refused to believe that a wild man could stand the sight of him like this!

Then, the following day

At the arranged meeting place, Shen Qingran saw the person he'd been pining for: his secret crush.

#My marriage partner is my secret crush too.#

#What do I do? Asking online, it's kind of urgent#

[2]

Shen Qingran had been secretly in love with him for years. He never expected heaven to suddenly grant his wish and arrange a marriage between him and He Chen.

This chance was too precious to waste. After much effort, he found out that He Chen supposedly liked people who were obedient, naive, and sheltered.

Nothing like Shen Qingran himself.

To fit the role, Shen Qingran worked diligently to cultivate the image of an innocent, naive little white flower.

Until one day, he liked a guide to 108 bedroom positions and wrote up the tips he'd learned over the years, intending to share them with a friend.

Then his hand slipped, and he accidentally sent it to the person pinned at the top of his WeChat: his secret crush.

By a twist of fate, He Chen married a younger schoolmate. The younger man was sweet-looking, soft-bodied, and had a soft, sweet voice. Everything about him was great, except for one thing.

He was far too gentle and reserved, and didn't open up to He Chen very much.

That's what He Chen thought, just before he received a message from the younger man.

But I still like mirrors best. I wonder if He Chen can handle it. I really want to try position number 66 with him [/shy]

He Chen: ...

Much later, He Chen looked at the picture and then at the person beneath him. "Why did you stop? Didn't you say you liked position number 66 best?"

Shen Qingran: Sob QUQ
