Blurb: Married first, fell in love later / married from the start / doctor x designer
Ruan Yueshu first met He Zhao in the outpatient clinic. Dressed in a spotless white coat, he was mistaken for someone having an affair with another person's spouse, and was grabbed by the collar and berated in front of everyone.
She thought to herself that she absolutely could not date a pretty boy like him, someone who attracted trouble despite having nothing but good looks.
To her surprise, a few days later, that pretty boy became her husband.

He Zhao, a neurosurgeon, was famous at the city hospital for being taciturn. He wore a poker face, offering everyone a smile that was thirty percent polite and seventy percent cold.
When news of his marriage got out, everyone in the department wondered if his wife would be able to put up with him.
Ruan Yueshu, passing by and eavesdropping, thought of last night's stormy passion and nodded vigorously in agreement.
She really couldn't put up with him.
That man was like a dog.

Ruan Yueshu had always thought she and her husband had met through a matchmaking arrangement, until she accompanied him back to his hometown for the New Year and found a novel she had once loved in his family's bookcase.
Not only was her name written on the title page, there was also an old, yellowed photograph tucked inside.
The boy stood in a corner, his gaze passing through the crowd to rest on her.
