*A bickering childhood-friends romance
When Chen Yuli was very young, Chi Wanqi was brought into the Chen family to be raised.
From then on, they went to school and came home together like sisters.
As an only child, Chen Yuli already disliked Chi Wanqi’s sudden arrival.
As they grew older, Chi Wanqi’s striking looks and excellent grades won her the admiration of younger and older schoolmates alike. Even the girl Chen Yuli liked started pursuing her.
Chen Yuli was completely furious.
She warned Chi Wanqi like a tyrant: “Don’t accept Liu Yi’s confession.”
Chi Wanqi kept her eyes on her practice questions and didn’t even look up. Calmly, she asked, “Who’s Liu Yi?”
Chen Yuli thought she was provoking her.
So she hated her even more.

After high school, they went to different countries to study.
Chen Yuli thought she’d finally never have to see Chi Wanqi again, but every other year she had to rush back for New Year’s dinner.
That Spring Festival, at a family gathering, the elders actually tried to set the two of them up.
This was how they put it:
“You’re not related by blood, and you’re not even on the same household register. You’ve been together since you were little, and you know each other inside out. Why not give dating a try?”
Chen Yuli was furious again.
She declared at the dinner table, “Marry her? Only if zombies eat every human on earth except her.”

That night, she went to bed in a rage.
When she woke up, there was a head beside her pillow. No, not just a head: a whole person.
Chen Yuli scrambled out of bed.
Woken by the commotion, Chi Wanqi caught her wrist and pulled her back, asking sleepily, “Did you have a nightmare?”
When Chen Yuli recognized her face, she let out a piercing shriek.
Chi Wanqi sighed. “Wife. What did I do to upset you this time?”
Wife?
Chen Yuli yelled at her, “Who’s your wife? You lunatic!”
Chi Wanqi had no idea what had gotten into her, but played along and raised her hand to show her.
The wedding ring gleamed.
Chi Wanqi felt her forehead, then the back of her neck. “You don’t have a fever. What’s going on?”
Chen Yuli wanted to know what was going on, too.
She slapped her hand away and asked seriously:
“What year is it?”
“Have the zombies broken through? Is humanity extinct?”
Chi Wanqi: “...?”
Her sleepiness vanished. She immediately called an exorcist.
-
Chen Yuli couldn’t accept the fact that she was married to Chi Wanqi.
One night, under cover of darkness, she decided to go find Liu Yi.
But before she could even get through on the phone, her wife in name caught her in the act.
Chi Wanqi blocked the door and asked with a smile, “Who are you sneaking off to cheat with?”
Chen Yuli said nothing.
“I told you before: every time I catch you, you’ll be punished. I’ll keep punishing you until you learn your lesson. Divorce is not an option.”
“Punished? What kind of punishment?”
Chi Wanqi pushed her into the bathroom. “What do you think?”
