The Hopeless Romantic Husband's Daily Meltdowns

My next novel will be The Day I Caught My Nemesis Yearning for Me or Being a Bad Woman Is So Hard

[Sunny girl x dark, brooding man]

1.

Zhu Chengwei's first half of life had gone smoothly. To ensure she could live in comfort during the second half, she decided to find herself a good match.

Her older brother recommended his close friend, Xiang Fengchao.

Xiang Fengchao was peerlessly handsome and the son of the Grand Tutor, making him a suitable match for her.

But Zhu Chengwei thought that aside from his pretty face, Xiang Fengchao had no accomplishments to speak of.

If she married him, their family would surely fall into decline before long.

So even though her brother tried to bring them together, Zhu Chengwei never got close to him.

2.

In his previous life, Xiang Fengchao had been too conspicuous, and Zhu Chengwei had suffered because of it.

In this new life, he decided to keep a low profile and wait until the situation had stabilized before marrying Zhu Chengwei.

But things didn't go as expected.

The wife he remembered, the one who used to blush when she looked at him, had disappeared.

At their first meeting, his heart swelled with excitement, but Zhu Chengwei turned and ran.

Xiang Fengchao held back.

The next time they met, she looked at him with a face like thunder, as if she'd touched a bug.

Xiang Fengchao held back again.

Until Zhu Chengwei gave the token of their love from her previous life to someone else. At last, Xiang Fengchao couldn't take it anymore.

He laughed.

He laughed because he was furious.

3.

After all Zhu Chengwei's efforts, she was finally going to marry the ideal provider of her dreams.

She went to meet him in high spirits.

But the person waiting at the agreed-upon place... wasn't her fiance.

On a snowy night, Xiang Fengchao stood as straight as a pine, his striking features stained with blood.

Zhu Chengwei's legs gave way, and she dropped to the ground, her back going cold.

Xiang Fengchao took in her terror. After a long moment, he gave a soft laugh.

"Chengwei, will you come to me on your own? Or... do I have to force you?"

Next novel: The Day I Caught My Nemesis Yearning for Me

[Blockhead heroine and an insecure, clingy, marriage-desperate man]

Song Xuqing had hated Pei Linchen since childhood, and had always treated their childhood betrothal as a joke.

It wasn't until she turned fifteen and her father sent her to the Pei residence, claiming it would help them grow closer, that she saw him again.

Pei Linchen was still the dazzling, brilliant young man everyone admired, with clear features and an elegant, refined air.

But she hated his fearless, carefree confidence.

By comparison, trapped by etiquette and constrained at every turn, she felt like a pitiful creature.

So after moving into the Pei residence, she was always coming up with ways to antagonize Pei Linchen and make his life a misery.

First, she wanted to ruin the engagement and gain her freedom.

Second, she wanted to see this noble young gentleman lose his composure and become a pathetic wreck.

Thanks to her tireless efforts, that day really did come.

She discovered that he was hopelessly in love with a certain woman but couldn't win her over, and that he often drowned his sorrows in drink late at night.

She was so delighted she nearly went mad. She thought she had caught Pei Linchen in a huge bind and could drag this untouchable beauty down from her pedestal once and for all.

Song Xuqing secretly followed him and finally discovered where he hid the belongings of the woman he loved.

But when she got there, her smile stiffened in an instant.

She thought that finding Pei Linchen's weakness really was a good thing.

If only...

that room hadn't been filled with portraits of her.
