A Late Confession [Marriage Before Love]

[A face-blind, unlucky, stubborn, hilarious woman x a laid-back, tsundere, sharp-tongued young master]

Zhu Yan has two secrets.

First, she's been secretly married for a long time. Her family was pressuring her to marry, so she and her blind date hit it off and got their marriage certificate the very next day.

As luck would have it, her bargain-bin husband shares a name with her boss's son.

They're both called Xu Yanzhou.

The day Xu Yanzhou came to inspect the company was the darkest day of Zhu Yan's life.

Her supervisor asked her to pour Xu Yanzhou a drink, but her hand slipped and she spilled every last drop of red wine on his most awkward spot.

Zhu Yan knew she was in trouble. She immediately grabbed the towel in front of him, knocking over the drink beside it in the process.

The splash took out a phone, too.

Not a single person at the table dared to smooth things over.

The silence lasted until the victim himself broke it.

Xu Yanzhou's deep, narrow eyes instantly turned icy. Beneath his high nose, his thin lips pressed into a tight line.

As he leaned over, the scent of cedar mixed with wine enveloped her.

In a voice only the two of them could hear, he whispered in her ear, “You're pretty good at this, spilling drinks on people and phones at the same time.” His hot breath brushed her ear. “Zhu Yan, right? I'll remember you.”

Everyone was speculating that Zhu Yan would be fired for walking into the office with her left foot first.

Zhu Yan included.

But several days had passed, and she was still sitting safe and sound in the office.

Not long afterward, she was assigned to deliver some documents to Xu Yanzhou again.

Everything went smoothly. Xu Yanzhou took the documents without incident, and Zhu Yan was overjoyed. Thank goodness she hadn't managed to cause any trouble this time.

Then she planted one heavy foot right on Xu Yanzhou's.

Zhu Yan: “...”

Before he could say a word, she ran away as fast as she could.

Xu Yanzhou leaned back on the sofa and watched her hurry away. He took a leisurely sip of coffee. “What a waste. At that speed, she might even bring glory to the country at the Olympics, though her form is awful.”

Zhu Yan has another secret.

She's face-blind and can't even remember what her own husband looks like.

One day, she got out of a colleague's car and had just walked into her house when a force pinned her against the wall.

She looked at the face so close to hers and suddenly thought it seemed a little familiar.

The man's brow was deeply furrowed. His breath was hot and dangerous against her ear.

“Zhu Yan, are your eyes even working? I put up with you spilling red wine and a drink on me, and I put up with that stomp the other day. I wrote it all off as you being clumsy.”

He stared straight at her, love and jealousy mingling in his eyes. “And now you've gone even further, bringing another man right to our doorstep? Do you think no one can touch you just because we're secretly married, or do you think I'm so easygoing I'll put up with something this stupid?”

Zhu Yan: “???”

Wait, what?!

*Both leads are virgins and each other's first love. The heroine is severely face-blind and has trouble remembering even familiar faces.

*A lighthearted comedy. Don't overanalyze the details.
