When Will My Wife Fall for Me?

Coming Soon: Fake Affection

The blurb is at the very bottom.

Enthusiastic puppy who makes the first move x aloof, proud doctor

Xu Zhiran has three major misconceptions about Cheng Jinyin.

The first: that she is aloof, noble, and utterly unattainable.

Everyone says Dr. Cheng keeps her distance from everyone. She never treats her patients coldly, but her eyes are so cold they seem entirely devoid of emotion.

After some thought, Xu Zhiran looks down at the person lying in her arms, acting so delicate and dependent that anyone would feel protective of her. The woman’s eyes are clearly sparkling, her gaze and features as tender as water.

The second: that she is dignified, self-possessed, and able to keep her feelings in check.

As the saying goes, Dr. Cheng has spent her whole life devoted to medicine, paying no attention to the world outside. She is practically free of desire and ambition.

Xu Zhiran looks puzzled and carefully reviews the details of what happened between them last night. Why does her lower back feel a little sore...?

The third: that she is delicate and frail, and needs to be protected.

When they first met, the other woman was at death’s door. The next few times they met, she looked just as weak and fragile.

Xu Zhiran silently classifies her as the delicate sort, unable to carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything with her hands.

So, true to her duty as a martial artist, Xu Zhiran takes care of her with all her heart, wishing she could be the woman’s personal bodyguard.

It is only when she catches her wife neatly disposing of the tail who has been following her that Xu Zhiran finally realizes... perhaps she is the one who needs protecting?

Xu Zhiran gazes at the beautiful profile of the woman beside her in the moonlight, lost in thought.

“When did you fall for me?”

The woman turns her head slightly. In the moonlight, Cheng Jinyin seems sacred and untouchable, but the words that slip from her lips are as clear and bracing as a spring, striking straight to the heart and piercing the soul.

“Probably the first moment I saw you.”

Xu Zhiran thinks their first meeting began with the clichéd scene of a hero rescuing a beauty. In a moment like this, it certainly fits the idea of falling for someone at first sight.

But the woman beside her smiles tenderly and shakes her head.

“I already knew you before you ever met me.”

The wind carries those tender, beautiful words to her ear. Xu Zhiran feels the feathers teasing her heart’s lake with the woman’s fingertips, stirring it round and round until it ripples like a pool of spring water.

One-on-one romance, both leads are each other’s only partners.

A super-sweet romance!

Xia Yuxi wakes up one day inside a System, which is generous enough to throw in a free blindness experience pass.

Most people who enter a System hurry to complete their missions to stay alive.

Not Xia Yuxi. The System gave her an immortal body, after all.

System: [The target’s emotions are fluctuating. Host, please keep an eye on them at all times.]

Xia Yuxi: I’m busy. Let me use this stack of beauty and skincare vouchers first.

System: [The target is in danger. Host, ensure their safety.]

Xia Yuxi: I’m at a party. What was that? It’s windy here, I can’t hear you.

To become king, one must first go mad.

That is Xia Yuxi’s principle for taking over this strange System. She is determined to break the System and show it that she can’t be controlled!

But the very next second, she gets a brutal face-slapping.

[Host’s mission completion rate over the past month is 0%. After careful deliberation, the decision has been made to destroy the Host in an explosive manner.]

Xia Yuxi is enjoying a beauty’s bath when the warning in her mind makes her cave at once.

What was that latest mission again? Make that person feel better, right?

The next second, she teleports right in front of Meng Qingning. The timing is a little unfortunate: Meng Qingning is on a blind date with a man who seems pretty decent.

Just as Xia Yuxi is preparing to say goodbye to this world, Meng Qingning walks over, gently interlaces their fingers, and gives the man a little wave.

“This is my partner.”

[Congratulations, Host, on completing a hidden mission. The destruction order has been temporarily suspended. Keep up the good work.]

What the heck? That works too?! Xia Yuxi curses inwardly.

But as soon as the man leaves, Meng Qingning immediately lets go of their joined hands. She picks up a wet wipe and carefully cleans Xia Yuxi’s slender fingers, inside and out.

Xia Yuxi: ? Am I some kind of filthy object?

To avoid the environmental pollution caused by an explosion, she puts up with it.

From then on, whenever Miss Meng needs her, Xia is ready to brave any danger for her. Even when she doesn’t need her, she’s still ready.

At last, after all her shameless persistence, the threat to her life is temporarily lifted.

So she starts acting up again.

[The target’s emotions are fluctuating sharply. Host, intervene immediately.]

Are her moods up to me? Then Xia Yuxi remembers that her life seems to be in the other woman’s hands, and reluctantly heads over.

Guess what?

[The target’s emotions are under control. Unlock one more hidden mission to fully restore your sight.]

Why does she feel like a monkey from Mount Emei, being toyed with by the System and Meng Qingning?

Meng Qingning doesn’t understand why Xia Yuxi seems like a different person after a car accident.

She no longer spends every day trying to make an enemy of Meng Qingning. But Meng Qingning knows this is just the act Xia Yuxi has always put on in front of adults and elders. No matter what, the malice in her heart won’t disappear.

While out one day, Meng Qingning is followed by a pursuer with psychological problems. To get rid of him, she has no choice but to pull Xia Yuxi over to help.

But from then on, Xia Yuxi seems to have attached herself to Meng Qingning, following her around all day.

She is constantly looking after Meng Qingning’s feelings.

She teaches her to love life and takes her out to enjoy it. She even gives her an unexpected gift for her birthday.

Xia Yuxi really does seem different from the person she used to be. Gradually, Meng Qingning begins to see her in a new light.

But before long, Xia Yuxi suddenly turns cold again. Meng Qingning doesn’t say anything, but she feels a little sad.

When she sees Xia Yuxi again, that pang of bitterness in her heart seems to be replaced by something else.

She can’t put it into words, or swallow it down.
