After Marrying My Top-Tier Star Classmate

Reunion after years apart & marriage before love & a man with a secret crush

"Afterward, he wrote countless unnamed lyrics, and every single one bore her name."

When Song Qiaoyu was twenty-six, her biggest headache was her family's relentless attempts to marry her off, coming every few days.

As Song Qiaoyu's mother put it, a woman's beauty blooms at twenty and fades after thirty. Now that Song Qiaoyu was practically approaching thirty, she should find someone reliable to marry and settle down with, and then her mother's job would be done.

Song Qiaoyu was busy wrestling with a difficult case at her law firm, so frustrated she could hardly think straight. She'd heard the same thing so often it was coming out of her ears. "Mom, who assigned you this task? God?"

By day, she worked like a beast of burden at the law firm. At night, her family lectured her.

Song Qiaoyu couldn't take the pressure anymore. After much coaxing and cajoling, she agreed to the blind date her family had arranged.

Just then, the office phone on her desk rang urgently. Song Qiaoyu pressed the answer button. Through the soft hiss of background noise came a steady, clear voice. "Hello, is this Attorney Song Qiaoyu?"

Song Qiaoyu received a call from a stranger seeking legal advice. Liang Xingdai, her old high school classmate, said that an original piece of music he had written and composed had been plagiarized and used commercially. He wanted her to advise him and represent him in a lawsuit.

After learning the basic facts, Song Qiaoyu arranged a time and place to meet him.

Later, Liang Xingdai won his lawsuit. As soon as he finally had some time to rest, his family hurriedly pressured him to go on a blind date.

Later still, Song Qiaoyu arrived at the restaurant at the address her family had sent her. The first thing she saw was a man wearing a familiar Patek Philippe watch. Her gaze traveled up from his long, well-defined fingers, and sure enough, she saw that familiar face again.

Liang Xingdai.

The man who had asked her to represent him in a lawsuit one moment, then politely said they'd meet again if fate allowed the next.

The man smiled at her. His tone was cheerful. "Ms. Song, long time no see."

Huh?

Nobody told her he was her blind date!

Liang Xingdai had secretly loved a girl for many years when he was young, but even after graduation, he never found the courage to tell her. All he could do was write, "Wishing you a bright future," on his page of the class yearbook that was passed around to everyone.

Later, by chance, his songwriting and composing unexpectedly became popular. Major film and television productions based on popular IPs used his music, and his fame soared. He started his own studio and became a hot commodity.

Later still, while browsing the law firm's profile online, he unexpectedly saw a familiar photo of a woman. Her name appeared clearly beneath a professional headshot.

Liang Xingdai's long-dormant, frozen heart gave a sudden, inexplicable flutter.

Almost as if possessed, he called the office number listed there. Later, when his family arranged a blind date for him, he had meant to turn it down, but changed his mind and agreed because it was her.

From obscurity to fame.

Through countless days and nights, he wrote draft after draft of lyrics. Not one word mentioned her, yet every word was about her.

He had spent his whole youth building up the courage to share his secret, and at last, she returned his feelings.

Xiaohan's reading guide:

- Both leads are sexually inexperienced. The female lead has had one relationship, but they never had sex.

- Marriage before love, with the male lead secretly in love. The story mainly focuses on their push-and-pull after marriage, but this isn't a typical marriage-before-love story. They marry after a few tens of thousands of words.

- The overall style is a light urban comedy, with lots of misunderstandings and coincidences. Please don't expect airtight logic.

- The professional details aren't written by an expert. Most were checked with friends or through Baidu and Doubao. Please point out any issues kindly. Hope you enjoy the story.
