Tan Shuyue tried every trick in the book and finally got her wish: she married Gu Peixi.
After the wedding, all she got from him was a cold, "I don't love you."
Her best friend advised her, "A-Yao, he doesn't like you, so stop loving him. Otherwise, it'll break your heart!"
But Tan Shuyue's lips curled into a sly smile.
"Perfect. If he doesn't like me, I'll just like him even more."
From the heroine's perspective: Tan Shuyue loves reading novels, especially the kind where the male lead can't have the woman he loves, so he resorts to taking her by force.
Whenever she sees the heroine being bullied, Tan Shuyue's heart aches. She wants nothing more than to kill that jerk of a male lead.
She often wonders: Why is it that when a man can't have the one he loves, he can take her by force, but when a woman can't have the one she loves, she has to suffer?
Now that she's set her sights on Gu Peixi, it's his good fortune!
He'd better accept this blessing!
Gu Peixi: "Sorry, I'm in love with someone else."
Tan Shuyue: "Oh? That makes it even more exciting, doesn't it? We can play at abduction and possessive romance, too."
From the male lead's perspective: How can there be a woman who gets on your nerves, but whose absence still leaves you uneasy?
Forced by a woman to marry her and play the part of a loving husband, Gu Peixi couldn't stand Tan Shuyue.
But when she stopped caring about him, let other men court her, and laughed and joked with them, he found himself hurting.
At first, Gu Peixi thought nothing of it. He even helped his buddy deliver a gift to Tan Shuyue. Then she praised his buddy's gift, saying it was exactly what she wanted and that she loved it, and a feeling called jealousy quietly crept into his heart.
His good buddy Jiang Chen eagerly asked, "Xi, did you give A-Yao the strawberry cake I asked you to bring her?"
Gu Peixi replied matter-of-factly, "I did. She didn't really like it."
Afterward, he savored the strawberry cake's flavor. He'd never liked cake before, but this time, he thought it was pretty good.
Jiang Chen's face fell. "Huh?"
Meanwhile, Tan Shuyue stared silently at the mango in front of her. She'd clearly told Jiang Chen she was allergic to mangoes!
