I Married a Man I Randomly Found at the Civil Affairs Bureau

Cool-headed, rational thoracic surgeon x gentle, restrained, scheming movie star

Pure-hearted and slow on the uptake x patient and persuasive

Born into a wealthy family, Shen Cuo received the strictest education at home from childhood. He was gentle and proper, and had only ever done two outrageous things:

The first was secretly changing his university application during his final year of high school to study medicine.

The second was finding a random man outside the civil affairs bureau and marrying him to avoid an arranged marriage.

Shen Cuo didn't know who the man was, but it was enough that he needed to get married just as urgently as Shen Cuo did.

Since he stood to benefit, Shen Cuo didn't mind lowering himself a little.

“Mr. Duan, in addition to what I've mentioned, I'll also pay you an appropriate amount every month...”

The man across from him raised an eyebrow and asked nonchalantly, “How much are you planning to pay me, Mr. Shen?”

Shen Cuo paused. “Well... we can discuss it.”

The man chuckled. “You can't afford my rate.”

Shen Cuo: “...”

He didn't take the remark seriously.

It wasn't until he cornered Duan Xunchu in the hospital office that Shen Cuo realized the man he'd casually married was the hottest top-tier star around!

Oh. So he really was unaffordable.

Unexpectedly, this marriage, based on nothing but mutual convenience, worked remarkably well.

Duan Xunchu would help Shen Cuo deal with his family, while Shen Cuo only had to play along for appearances.

It all felt perfectly natural.

At first, Shen Cuo thought so too. But gradually, the distance between him and Duan Xunchu kept shrinking: an arm around his shoulders, a hug, holding hands, and even... kisses.

The moment Shen Cuo realized something was off, he stood in front of the man and asked very seriously, “Duan Xunchu, is something wrong with you?”

“Yes,” he replied.

From the moment he met Dr. Shen, he'd been struggling to restrain his desires every waking moment.

P.S. The love interest really does have a condition: skin hunger!
