The Sickly Beauty's Daily Battle for Affection [Marriage Before Love]

Marriage before love, love triangle, devoted puppy, male rivals

Super-strong woman x gloomy, devoted, sickly beauty

Or cheerful muscleman, or humorous mixed-race CEO

The heroine agrees to marry the male lead for now, and he's ecstatic.

He never expected that she wouldn't take the marriage seriously at all. No matter how much he acts cute and begs for affection, she spends all day away from home, so his pleas gradually change from...

"What time are you coming home today, sis?"

to

"Sis, can I come with you? No matter who you're with, I can take care of you. Cough, cough..."

Later, he repeatedly swings between going crazy and forcing himself to smile.

"Why are you treating me like this?"

"You're back. I was practicing my acting just now, I wasn't talking about you."

"Why does he get to come to our house and eat the food I made for you? What makes him worthy?"

"I meant that I'll eat with you both. I love it when a few people sit down and enjoy a meal together."

The male lead and the other men adore the heroine, but she barely loves them at all. When she feels like it, she gives them a little affection; otherwise, she goes out and has fun. She just wants to give them a warm haven. What did she do wrong? The only ones at fault are the men who keep pushing their luck.

Male lead: "We're legally married. She can't bear to leave me."

Male rival one: "You shameless barnacle of a dog! She pities you. She saved me, and we're the ones who truly love each other."

Male rival two: "Why are you arguing? She was exhausted last night." He glanced at the male lead, who looked ready to collapse.

May include male-lead angst, and a male rival may end up with the heroine.

The male lead is frail and won't recover, though he doesn't have any serious illness. He looks like Lin Daiyu.
