No Goodnight Kiss Tonight

Just a few days after learning she was the heiress to a wealthy family,

Yu Qianyi married a man.

On her way home from work, she spotted the bright red marriage certificate in her bag and realized she had already entered a new stage of life.

After they registered their marriage,

Xue Jing'an asked her about her expectations for married life in a strictly businesslike manner.

Yu Qianyi didn't mind either way:

“A diamond ring? Whatever. You can pick one.”

“A wedding sounds like too much trouble. Can we skip it?”

“I don't mind where we live, as long as you leave me a room of my own.”

Xue Jing'an gave a cold snort, but still agreed to everything.

But on the day they moved into their new home,

he came out of the shower wrapped in a bathrobe and found an elegant woman with long hair standing by the bed.

“Is something wrong?” Xue Jing'an asked.

“Isn't this the master bedroom?” Yu Qianyi looked at him calmly. “We're sleeping together.”

Yu Qianyi chose to marry Xue Jing'an because she wanted a stable life, free of worries.

So even though there was no love between them,

she went along with all his public performances and fulfilled her duties as a wife.

Xue Jing'an was the same.

But sometimes, when they were alone, she realized he was more... clingy than she'd expected.

He wanted to eat together, be held while they slept, and call her exactly four times a day when he was away on business. At home, a little shadow followed her everywhere. His overwhelming urge to share every little thing left her struggling to keep up.

The worst part was that once things got heated, he could never seem to stop...

And now,

as the time came around again, she found herself wondering:

What excuse could she use to turn down his goodnight kiss today?

A cold-faced, cute, reserved, wooden woman x a clingy, high-needs young master

Reader's Guide:

1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced / marriage before love between strangers / the woman is two years older than the man / sweet, cheesy romance

2. There's a showbiz setting, but it probably won't take up much of the story.

3. The male lead isn't based on anyone. No one at all. Don't imagine him as anyone.

Originally titled "Dear my Puzzle"

First-person blurb:

Recently, a dating app called Puzzle has become incredibly popular.

People mainly meet through photos.

The pictures users choose to share are divided into a nine-square puzzle. You have to tap away the pieces to see parts of the photo.

You can only reveal up to a third of the picture. Only if both people are interested and swipe right can they start chatting and choose whether to show each other their full photos.

Thanks to its unique features, this niche premium app quickly became a sensation.

I swear, when I first downloaded it, I was just curious and wanted to follow the trend.

That is, until I saw a photo of a cat and a man's abs. The little cat was held gently in his arms, with fluffiness on one side and hard muscle on the other. Just looking at it made me itch with desire.

I spent all my tokens clearing the puzzle, but still couldn't see the whole photo. But I did manage one thing:

I asked the man out.

Core theme: Love transcends everything.
