[First comes marriage, then love. It looks like a story about taming a man, but he's actually a wolf in sheep's clothing.]

Radiant, vivacious heiress vs. brooding, scheming illegitimate son

Zhu Tingwan had an easy, charmed life for twenty years, and was the envy of countless people, until she married the illegitimate son of the Pei family.

After they married, she treated the marriage as if it didn't exist, spending her days as usual, partying and enjoying herself with friends.

What's more, she made things difficult for Pei Yuze at every turn, hitting or yelling at him whenever the mood struck.

But little by little, she realized Pei Yuze wasn't so detestable after all. He was good-tempered, never fought back when she hit or scolded him, and was generous with his money, letting her spend whatever she wanted.

So, in a rare act of kindness, Zhu Tingwan started treating Pei Yuze a little better. She never expected him to take advantage of it and keep trying to "bully" her.

Only then did Zhu Tingwan see what this man was really like. He wasn't some meek, good-natured victim. He was a devil who'd devour you without leaving a bone!

*

Only Pei Yuze knew how disgusting he was. From the first moment he saw Zhu Tingwan, he had coveted her every waking moment. Watching all those men and women swarm around her, all he wanted was to make her his.

He used every trick in the book and finally married her. It didn't matter if her heart wasn't his yet. As long as she was by his side, that was enough.

He didn't care how much she hit or scolded him, as long as she was willing to come home.

Later, he realized Zhu Tingwan seemed to be treating him differently.

So he took advantage of the opening and indulged her every whim.

"Pei Yuze, you bastard!"

She was crying so pitifully, as if he'd bullied her.

"Mm, I'm a bastard." He smiled and accepted the accusation.

Next Story

[The secret crush comes true from the male lead's perspective; marriage first, love later from the female lead's. Both are inexperienced.]

Spoiled, radiant heiress vs. carefree rich playboy

As soon as Yan Xi broke up with Lu Cheng, her nemesis Xie Chengyou called, his voice dripping with teasing. "I told you he was no good. Looks like you learned that the hard way."

Yan Xi hung up on him.

Later, Lu Cheng regretted it and showed up at her door, shamelessly begging to get back together. He stood outside and refused to leave no matter how many times Yan Xi told him to go.

Then Xie Chengyou sauntered out of the house in a bathrobe, holding up the marriage certificate they'd just received for Lu Cheng to see. One eyebrow raised, his face brimming with youthful confidence. He didn't need to say a word.

It was both a boast and a declaration.
