Three years ago, a marriage contract whose signing date was unknown was placed before Wen Han. Two tiny handprints were pressed onto it. According to Wen Han's grandmother, they belonged to her and the youngest member of the Ming family, who had stamped them there themselves.
As Grandma Wen spoke, she cautiously watched Wen Han's expression. After a long while, just as she was beginning to think the marriage would fall through, Wen Han suddenly smiled.
“If they agree, pick a date and let's get it done.”
The wedding of the century caused a sensation. Two stunningly beautiful faces flooded every social media platform. Even the most critical media outlets could only make a few snide remarks about how the pair had no feelings for each other and were in a business alliance. Most people were generous with their praise, calling them a match made in heaven.
The day after the wedding of the century, Wen Han flew to Europe and did not return home for three years.

But Wen Han and Ming Yu were not complete strangers.
Back in college, the two of them hid in an empty classroom, covered the security camera, and got into a vicious fight.
At the time, they had both secretly loved the same girl. To win the title of Ji Xi's “best friend,” they racked their brains and tried every trick in the book.
In the end, Ji Xi distanced herself from Wen Han and became inseparable from Ming Yu.
Wen Han held a grudge.
She thought that without Ming Yu, she might have ended up with Ji Xi.
She wanted revenge on Ming Yu. If she couldn't be happy, then Ming Yu couldn't be happy either.

On the day Ji Xi got married, Wen Han and Ming Yu both attended.
They handed over their red envelopes and took their seats at the wedding banquet.
The video montage played clips of the couple's romantic moments. The emcee chimed in at the right moment: “Miss Ji Xi and Miss Ming Fan have been dating for ten years...”
Wen Han paused as she toyed with her phone.
She stared at Ming Yu in disbelief.

2. I'm not sure whether a secret crush counts as romantic history. I don't think it does, so they are each other's first love in every sense.
3. Same-sex marriage and having children are legal.
