Painter & Lawyer
Unhinged Heiress vs. Gentle, Poor Student / Marriage Before Love / Two Stubborn Souls / She Wants It, She Gets It
Synopsis:
Pei Lanqing was an orphan, raised on the money his adoptive father earned selling vegetables.
In his first year of college, a professor in his department referred him for a part-time tutoring job.
His student was a young lady from a wealthy family named Lin Qianyuan.
He thought the first time they met was at the Lin family villa. In fact, it was at Capital University.
He was feeding a cat. She stood beneath a parasol tree not far away, staring at him without blinking.
Most of the campus strays were gentle and kept their distance. That one, however, had a terrible temper.
The boy crouching beside it had been scratched on the hand, but he didn't seem to mind. He reached out again, gently soothing it.
She couldn't make out what he was saying, but from his expression, it looked as though he was coaxing the cat.
That very evening, Lin Qianyuan asked her father to find her a private tutor. She had lost her hearing in both ears after a car accident and was taking time off from school, staying at home. She had grown withdrawn and willful. Her biological mother had also died in the accident, and her father, afraid she might take her own life, agreed to her request.
Pei Lanqing.
Lin Qianyuan thought the name suited him perfectly.
As they spent more time together, she decided it would be even better if she could tie his name to hers.
So, years later, when his adoptive father was critically ill and needed a large sum of money for treatment, she appeared outside his hospital room and asked casually, “Pei Lanqing, how about marrying me?”
“I happen to be looking for someone to marry.”
That year, Pei Lanqing was in graduate school and couldn't come up with that much money all at once.
Even though they both stood to gain something from the arrangement, he was still deeply grateful for her help.
It was obvious he agreed to marry her out of gratitude, not love.
Lin Qianyuan didn't care. After they got their marriage certificate, she told him, “Don't fall in love with me.”
Pei Lanqing agreed.
He knew there was nothing between them.
He had never dared to hope otherwise.
Even after paying off the medical bills, Pei Lanqing kept waiting, anxiously wondering if she might ask for a divorce one day.
He wouldn't refuse.
Until one day
Lin Qianyuan got drunk, and he went to pick her up. The alcohol made her even more rowdy than usual, and Pei Lanqing patiently put up with all of it.
As usual, he soothed her until she fell asleep, then switched off the bedside lamp and prepared to go to bed.
But just then, the person beside him suddenly moved closer. “Are you going to divorce me?” Lin Qianyuan asked.
She had seen the divorce agreement in his study that morning.
1. The divorce agreement belongs to a client in the case the male lead is handling.
2. The female lead's hearing will recover. She's an illegitimate daughter, with low moral standards but a good heart at her core (whether you'll believe that is another matter).
3. The male lead becomes quite wealthy later on, but he's still not as rich as the female lead.
4. Updates at 10 p.m. or after midnight.

The Chinese text at the bottom of the cover comes from Qiu Miaojin's Notes of a Crocodile.
The original line is: “From the first moment I saw you, I knew I would love you, with the love of a wild beast, a raging flame. But it must not happen. It cannot. The mountains would collapse, the earth would split, and I would be left bloody and broken.” It was chosen simply because the line felt fitting, and carries no other meaning.

Synopsis finalized on April 23, 2025.

The female lead is in fact an “illegitimate daughter,” though officially she is an “adopted daughter.” Her father's first wife had no children; this is explained in the story.
Theme: Love has a power of its own.
I have a feeling that we are going to make rapid progress [spread flowers][spread flowers]
[Orange candy] I got it [Orange candy] I got it [Orange candy] I got it
Wow, you got my reply~≧∇≦If you don't have any inspiration, can you accept the order? I want to watch the parallel time and space extra! The text mentions that Qian Yuan dreamed of another time and space and she did not meet Pei Lanqing so early. Instead, she accidentally met Pei Lanqing and his friends for dinner many years later and fell in love at first sight. Can you write it? 1. [If Qian Yuan had not met Pei Lanqing] A well-known but reportedly eccentric avant-garde painter 2. [Pei Lanqing traveled back to Qian Yuan's childhood] When Lan Qing woke up and traveled back to many years ago, she hugged Xiao Qian Yuan who was punished for coming home late. She didn't want to go home even if she had a fever and stayed alone in school. Qian Yuan always remembers that when she was a child, there was an older brother she had never met before who always smiled at him tenderly, held an umbrella for her and ate with her, and there was emotion in his eyes that she could not understand. When the senior and the young were establishing friendship, the time came and Lan Qing was leaving. Tell her to take good care of herself and we will meet again eventually. Then Qian Yuan, who had grown up in the Time Dafa, remembered everything and went to find Lan Qing. He happened to meet him feeding the cat. This time, unlike the main text, he just took a peek, and the two recognized each other. The painting titled First Love was born, but the colors are gentler, which shows the deep affection in the artist's brushwork.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha She deserves to be the heroine
