Blurb:
1.
Pan Yun was lucky to land a civil service job after graduating, but she and her boyfriend had different plans for the future, so they parted amicably.
In her third year on the job, she hit it off with her supervisor.
The supervisor asked if she was seeing anyone, and Pan Yun shook her head.
"Xiaoyun, I have a relative with a nice son. He just got back from studying in the States."
Sure enough, old hands in the civil service loved playing matchmaker.
Pan Yun couldn't turn her down, and her family had been pressuring her to get married, so she dutifully went on a blind date.
But her date turned out to be... her ex-boyfriend's best buddy?!
Back in college, Lu Zhihuai always scowled whenever he saw her. But out of consideration for Cheng Jun, she had still treated him kindly.
Now he acted as though he didn't know her, his manner utterly cold.
"I need a wife."
2.
Pan Yun had been a good girl since childhood, and her family was ordinary.
Anyone asked about her would say:
"Pan Yun? She's pretty, but she always looks so listless, like a gray shadow."
Insecure, introverted, a people pleaser.
No one would want to get to know her. She was too boring.
Lu Zhihuai was born a golden boy. In college, he fell for a girl, only to suffer his first-ever romantic setback. She flirted with him, then turned around and got together with his best buddy.
Every time he saw Pan Yun acting as though nothing had happened, Lu Zhihuai felt like he was about to explode.
3.
Pan Yun had long prepared herself for a polite, distant marriage, but one day Lu Zhihuai got drunk.
The man was far more domineering than usual, no longer cold and aloof. He took so much from her that she could barely bear it, until her eyes grew red and tears glistened in them.
"Did you take something?"
"I didn't take anything."
"And I'm perfectly clear-headed."
