Marriage first, love later / unrequited love comes true / extremely sweet, both sexually inexperienced

Li Yunqian's world fell apart as soon as she returned to China. Her older sister ran away from the arranged marriage, so Li Yunqian had to take her place!

Li Yunqian: "You mean I'm supposed to marry my brother-in-law?"

At first, Li Yunqian wasn't willing. Then she saw Ju Xun's peerlessly beautiful face and fell for his looks.

Looking at the man's proud, cool, and dignified figure, she swallowed. "I'll marry him!"

Ju Xun had a cold personality. In everyone's eyes, he was an aloof beauty, exceptionally refined, and the genuine cold-hearted Buddha of Beijing's elite circle.

He'd been in poor health since childhood and spent years recuperating in a temple, free of worldly desires.

People felt that even looking at him was sacrilegious.

But soon after taking over as president of the family business and entering an arranged marriage with a family they were close to, he lost his virginity not long after getting his marriage license.

The woman crept into his room in the middle of the night. Ignoring his protests, she climbed on top of him and refused to get off.

She said, "I heard you're about to become a real monk. I don't want to spend the rest of my life as a lonely wife, so I'm going to test you. If you really can't do it, we can make do for a couple of years and then get divorced."

Ju Xun: "..."

That night, the protective Buddhist beads he'd worn on his wrist ever since childhood spent the night under the bed.

Li Yunqian said, "Even if you don't need this sort of thing, you have to consider my feelings. It's a marital duty: twice a week, no less."

He gently rolled the beads between his fingers without saying anything. Li Yunqian asked if he wasn't willing.

He took off the beads, put them in the Buddhist shrine, and softly said two words: "Not enough."

Li Yunqian really thought Ju Xun was asexual, as though his six senses had been extinguished. Only later did she realize that wasn't true.

He craved her love, both physically and emotionally.

Ju Xun's family brought him back from the temple when his father fell gravely ill. They wanted him to take over the company and marry into the Li family.

Ju Xun agreed, but he had one condition: he wanted the younger sister, not the older one.

But the Li family refused. Then the older sister ran away from the wedding, leaving the family no choice but to send their younger daughter instead.

Ju Xun thought there might be some complications, but things went surprisingly smoothly. In the end, he got his wish and gave himself to her.

Li Yunqian made the first move, and he was overwhelmed by her favor.

He tried hard to restrain himself and endure, but eventually his surging feelings for her became impossible to hide. He could no longer keep up the act.

He craved her like a madman.

How could a life of chanting by a green lamp compete with her breathtaking beauty? He wanted to be the most worldly man alive.

After Li Yunqian became pregnant, Ju Xun moved the Buddhist shrine he'd been worshipping at to the ancestral hall.

By chance, she found the love letters he'd written in high school inside his shrine.

There was a thick stack, and every letter bore her name.

After she graduated from high school and went abroad to study, Ju Xun fell gravely ill and wrote a will. Her name filled every cramped line of an entire page.

Only then did Li Yunqian realize that, in a corner no one noticed, someone had been longing for her for more than ten years.

She was grateful that his illness hadn't taken him away and had left him for the person she would become.

Alluring widow sister-in-law × rugged younger brother-in-law

Blurb:

Female lead is inexperienced, male lead is not / rugged man / love grows over time

Discharged soldier × alluring widowed sister-in-law

Xu Ran's husband died, leaving her a pregnant widow.

Her family was poor, and the only other person in the household was her younger brother-in-law, who had returned from the army and was now attending university.

He was strong and broad-shouldered, with regular features.

But he was always quiet and rarely spoke.

Xu Ran had never felt anything for him. She saw him as her husband's only remaining family.

He was an excellent student and would receive veteran benefits, so he was sure to find a stable job in the future.

To improve the life she and her child would have, Xu Ran treated her brother-in-law especially well, looking after him and paying for his schooling.

She gave him all the good food and useful things. She clung to this lifeline, thinking that once the boy succeeded, he would surely remember her kindness.

She always thought of herself as his elder sister-in-law and mother figure.

But somehow things went wrong. One night during her pregnancy, her brother-in-law came home drunk, held her, and kissed her. Then he confessed, "Sister-in-law, I've liked you for a long time. Please don't marry anyone else."

Xu Ran was terrified and tried to escape, but her brother-in-law held her and asked ominously, "Your older brother could have you, other men can have you, but I can't?"

Xu Ran stared at him in shock, one hand on her pregnant belly. "...Do you even hear what you're saying?!"

How could her brother-in-law be like this?!

Probably a rugged-man story with obsessive possession and a sister-in-law romance.

The younger brother-in-law has gone crazy!

Theme: Love is the most healing thing in the world.
